DAVID VS GOLIATH 2002 NISSAN MAXIMA I’ve had my headlights stolen three times, the stolen headlights are only part of the problem the real problem is how easy it is to get into the Nissan Maxima. Due to the design of how the door handle is attached to the door, with a flat head screwdriver the thieves pop out the driver side door handle to get to the electronics which allows them to lower your windows, unlock your doors and disarm the factory alarm so they can get into your vehicle and pop open the hood to get to the headlights without damaging them and taking what ever else you may have in your vehicle. This is more then a headlight problem, it is a flaw in the design of this vehicle. And Nissan is unwilling to except responsibility. Shame on you Nissan, you have lost one more loyal customer. I urge everyone that has or had this problem to call Nissan and file a complaint 1-800-647-7261 and just don’t stop there file a complaint with the Consumer Reports www.consumerreports.org and the Better Business Burrow www.bbb.com anyone you think that can help us little guys with this problem.  |

Just bought my wife a new 2006 SE with HID's and I'm wondering if 04-06 headlights are getting stolen too.

Replying to: tristan1 (Jul 01, 2006 2:36 pm) Remember also, the headlights from a 04-06 and 00-03 are not interchangable (but they still could retrofit the projectors; requires more work, etc). |

Replying to: shadowfox777 (Jul 02, 2006 1:07 pm) has HID's is the SE's with the "driver preferred package" and The SL's. That being said, I have not heard anything about the '04-'06's having problems with stolen HID's. I have read several pages back in this forum of Infiniti's and Lexus RX's having their headlights stolen. I still can't get over the fact that this problem is pretty much a regional thing, i.e., the northeast/NJ/NY area and some areas of South Florida(Miami) and possibly the Texas cities. I live in the Tampa Bay Area and there's been no such reports of HID theft particular to 2002-2003 Maximas. I drive a 2002 Maxima. Right now, I'd better knock on wood since I have less than a year left on my lease. |

The Maxima 2002 fix is get the nose,brackets,grill,foglights,head lights,wire harnesses from the 2001 and put it on your 2002.The 2001 headlights from the AE version look the best(also get the clips)Nobody bothers with the 2001!Costed me like $2K the first time now nobody cares about my car. And a big screw you goes out to the worthless trash that are so poor they have to STEAL from people.HID kits are available for $200 on ebay,you poor sorry ass excuses for people(you know who you are NJ,NYC slum people with your HONDAS with the wings and loud muffler cars.LOOSERS!!!!!!!! My maxima is STILL 10 times better than your POS.

Replying to: klarkman (Jul 24, 2006 8:12 pm) my 2002 Maxima appears to have been totaled due to a young college kid running right through a stop sign. I'm still stunned as I write this. I haven't been able to sleep because I keep running through my head how the accident happened and if I could have done something more to prevent it. Both airbags deployed, the front end looks pretty bad and the windshield is all cracked. I'm not sure how I ended up with four bleeding fingers on the right hand and the left hand is swollen in the knuckle area and I have a small egg-sized welt on the forearm near the elbow. I'm pretty sore all over with some contusions on my stomach and my left upper thigh, but other than that, I'm fine. Sick about the Max though. I guess I won't be worrying about the possibility of my xenon's getting stolen anymore. |
