5 Hood problem of the 2002 Nissan Maxima

Failure Date: 10/16/2002

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.

6 Hood problem of the 1997 Nissan Maxima

Failure Date: 06/05/2002

While I was checking washer fluid under the hood, the hood slammed down on my hand causing severe injury which required emergency room treatment : x-rays, ten stitches to one finger, abrasions and concussions. I needed a tetnus shot, antibiotics, pain killers and hand was splinted. I called the dealer and he said it was a common failure and the men in his shop are required to use a rod to support the hood because of known failures. My car did not come equipped with a rod to support the hood. Their are no caution signs on the auto nor in the vehicles manual.
