| Description of the problem | The head light lenses on our new nissan cube were hazed over on both sides of the car. I took it back to the dealer and they were replaced at no cost. The issue is that the replacement head lights are worse than the ones replaced. When we picked up our car i checked the lights and they are worse than the ones that were replaced. The next day i called nissan and made them aware of this issue. Several days later i was informed that were no recall issues and that they would not replace or correct this issue. On my first call to nissan i was informed that there were 3 recall issues on this vehicle and that my dealer should have informed me of these when i had my first service done. That never happened. So when i contacted the dealer their service manager informed that there were indeed 3 recalls & they had not told me as they were waiting on replacement parts. These lights are only going to get worse and will effect the ability of them to meet government standards. In the past i was a stock holder & v. P. Of operations in a lighting manufacturing company that manufactured head lights, tail,lights & interior lighting and have an understanding of these issues and realize that this issue needs to be addressed. |
