| 1992 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS | HEAD LAMPS DO NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH LIGHTING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO SAFELY GUIDE VEHICLE AT NIGHT. TT |
| 2003 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS | XENON HID HEADLIGHTS WERE STOLEN ON THE 2ND NIGHT I OWNED THIS CAR. APPARENTLY THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM LIES IN THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS. THE HOOD CAN BE OPENED WITHOUT ANY ACCESS TO THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. ONCE THE HOOD IS OPENED, 2 BOLTS ARE ALL THAT ATTACH THE HEADLIGHTS TO THE CAR. AN EYEWITNESS CLAIMS THE THIEVES HAD THE HEADLIGHTS REMOVED IN UNDER 2 MINUTES. NISSAN UNDERSTANDS THE PROBLEM AND HAS DESIGNED SOME ATTACHMENTS TO PREVENT THE HOOD FROM BEING OPENED FROM THE EXTERIOR. THE KIT COSTS ~$350 TO INSTALL. *JB |
