"Don't have a very good one"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Service engine light came on and the dealer told me to replace the Oxygen Sensor. which costs me $300.00 within one week the Service Engine light has come on again and I know for sure it is the same problem. I took my car to the dealer and they said they would need to recheck it for $95.00 and it very well be that the other sensor went bad. I guess the dealer was prepared for this answer even before the comp. diagnostics test results. And after reading all the blogs with O2 sensor problems and I don't think I will ever buy another Nissan. Oh! Moreover, someone has stolen my headlights twice and sold it on ebay for a good $$$. I am sick and tired of spending money on this car. I might just sell it off! Any comments?

General comments?

Rough handling and suspension, No turning curvature.

Does not qualify to be a Japanese car.

I agree with you that the electrical systems in these cars are lame. Just don't blame the car for headlight thieves! If I were you, I would get a set of security screws that require a special screwdriver for your headlights. I'm surprised that they aren't setting off the alarm when they steal them!

Is it really possible to steal 02' Maxima headlights with an alarm system installed in the car? I'm an 02' owner myself, and now I'm worried! Please post here.

Of course its easy to steal your headlights, even with the factory alarm. All you have to do is disable the alarm, which all it is, by disabling the car horn by clipping its wires thru the hood. (not being specific for a purpose. Manny.

Anyone can steal the 2002-2003 headlights and they do to put them on 2000-2001 maximas or Suped up Honda Civics. My answer was change the nose to a 2001 and put in AE headlights. Who cares about HID anyways. They don't ever steal the lights now!HAHAHAHA!

Very surprising about the sensors in your car. I have an 02 with over 90k miles, I have had no service issues with the car. Tires are pretty expensive, though. Very well built car with great power. Auto trans is silky smooth as is the 255 hp engine. The infiniti I35 is an identical car.
