My 2014 Maxima is not driven at night, only during the day but I drive with my headlights on...ALWAYS. Well, my husband had to drive it to work last month, he leaves at 4:30am, total darkness. He said he couldn't see 2 ft. in front of the car and the fog lights seemed brighter than the headlights! He had to drive with the high beams on and people don't take to kindly when you do that. So, we went and spent around $60 at AutoZone to get new bulbs. After the AGRAVATING process of trying to change the bulbs (thanks Nissan for your poor design and making it almost impossible to do a simple bulb change!!) the new bulbs did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! This is extremely dangerous and insane!
I went to my local Nissan Dealer and they told me it was going to cost around $3,000 to put new light assemblies in!! I'm NOT paying that and neither should any one else have to eat that cost! This needs to be fixed by Nissan and they need to get their rear ends in gear and fix this quick! No one should have to pay out of pocket for a defect and the manufacture should not be allowed to drag their feet either! This is a major safety issue.
My family has been faithful Nissan Maxima owners for 30 years (owning 7 of them) and never any problems until the last 5 months. My 2014 Maxima is barely driven, lives in the garage, looks brand new inside and out, super low miles 44k and is always washed and detailed and it spent 3 months at the dealer having the engine fixed do to a Nissan Bulletin concerning the #2 main ball barring. Thank God for CarShield! The Government didn't make Nissan recall the engine issue, I guess the #2 ball barring becoming damaged and catastrophic engine failure while driving at highway speed isn't that dangerous.... but what'd I know, I'm just a girl. Then I get the car back and find the damn headlights are useless and the car is not drivable at night! I have lost faith in Nissan!! We jumped back to being Toyota owners again bought new 4Runner but lets face it, most people can't just go out and get a new vehicle. So this Maxima will sit in the garage and I will wait for Nissan to fix the problem and sell it before the CVT trans goes out too!!
