problem #2

Nov 242002

Maxima 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 18,000 miles
I have had the xenon hid headlights of my vehicle stolen three times over the past 6 months. I implore anyone even considering purchasing a 2002 or 2003 Maxima to reconsider. This is a marked car, and my attempts to gain the manufacturer's attention have failed. I hope if thieves take the lights again, that they steal the whole car, and relieve me of this curse.

Maxima 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Due to Nissan's bad design of the 2003 Maxima model, the xenon hid headlights could be removed from a locked car within less than 30 seconds. As a result the driver of the car is at risk.
