EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
I HOPE NISSAN WOULD TAKE MY HEADACHE AWAY BY TAKING BACK THEIR GARBAGE 2002 MAXIMA, BECAUSE THIS CAR IS A PIECE OF GARBAGE AND NISSAN SHOULD BE A SHAMED OF THEMSELVES TO MANUFACTURE A $750.00 LIGHT WITH TWO PLASTIC BRACKETS THAT MY 7 YEAR OLD SON CAN BREAK OUT OF THE CAR WITHIN (30 SECONDS YES 30 SECONDS) MY XEON LIGHT HAS BEEN STOLEN FIVE TIMES (5) FROM JANUARY, MY CAR HAS SIT IN THE NISSAN REPAIR SHIP FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. COULD NISSAN EXPLAIN THIS OR TRY TO COMPREHEND THIS PROBLEM THAT IT'S CUSTOMERS ARE GOING TROUGH, DO THEY EVEN CARE, NISSAN MAKE FROM ME ALONE 1,500.00 X 5 = 7,500.00 NOT TO MENTION THE OTHER THOUSAND OF PEOPLE THAT IS GOING TROUGH THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN SHOULD BE SUED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, OR REFUND THE DEDUCTIBLES FOR THEIR MANUFACTURING DEFECTS THAT WAS DESIGN FOR THEFT. MY HEADACHE IS NOT GOING AWAY UNTIL I GET RID OF THE CAR OR SUE NISSAN TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM ALL NISSAN MAXIMAS 202-2003 OWNERS SHOULD SUE NISSAN AND MAYBE THEY WILL DO SOMETHING OR ALL COME TOGETHER AND FILE A CLASS AUCTION SUIT AGAINST NISSAN PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!!! DO SO ASAP. I ACTUALLY WENT AND BOUGHT INFRARED CAMERAS TO MONITOR MY CAR SO MAYBE I CAN CATCH WHO IS STEALING THE LIGHTS, THIS IS REALLY BAD THANKS FOR LISTENING. *LA

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
I LEASE A 2002 NISSAN MAXIMA. THIS CAR HAS A KNOWN ISSUE REGARDING ITS HEADLIGHTS. THE ISSUE IS 1) THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE 2) THEY ARE, THEREFORE, WELL-LIKED BY THIEVES AND 3) THEY ARE VERY EASY TO STEAL. AS A RESULT, THEY ARE STOLEN FREQUENTLY. ONE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS STOLEN FROM MY CAR LAST WEEK. THE CAR IS NOT ROADWORTHY WITHOUT IT. BLINKERS DON'T WORK. IF ONE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE TO A BODY SHOP, IF THE HOUR IS LATE, IF ONE IS IN AN UNSAFE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE CAR MUST BE DRIVEN IN SUCH CONDITION. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT SHOULD HAVE CAUSED NISSAN TO RECALL THIS MODEL LONG AGO. *LA

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD, STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:ANTI-THEFT DEVICES
HEAD LIGHTS WERE STOLEN FROM THE VEHICLE. DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, HOOD AND BUMPER BECAUSE THIEF KNEW THAT THERE WAS NO MOTION SENSOR ALARM. THE BRACKETS HOLDING EACH $724 LIGHT IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND CAN EASILY BE SNAPPED/BROKEN. THE ANTI-THEFT KIT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT DOESN'T FIX THE ISSUE THAT THE LIGHTS CAN STILL BE REMOVED BY BREAKING THE BRACKET WITHOUT OPENING THE HOOD. THE HORN WIRING WAS ALSO REMOVED BECAUSE OF ITS EASY ACCESSIBILITY THROUGH THE GRILL. *LA
