EXTERIOR LIGHTING
12/22/20031000810/31/2003
 I have had nothing but problems, both big and small, with my brand new nissan quest se. i can almost deal with the sqeaks, rattles, broken buttons, broken lights, malfunctioning sensors, radio problems, and malfunctioning slider doors, but the problem i cannot accept is the failure of the car to run during damp or cold days. the car cranks and starts after a few attempts, but when it is put into drive it either lags as if it's running out of fuel, or dies completely. this has happened on at least 8 occassions, 2 of which i had to call a tow truck because i could not restart the car. unfortunately, my dealership cannot replicate the problem so nothing has been done. meanwhile, i never know if my car will run on these days, i have even been forced to walk down the street in below zero windchill temperatures with my children in order to get help. i purchased a new car to have safety and peace of mind, and instead i am losing sleep at night and asking nissan to buy this car back. i will list the most recent occurrence on the form, but please note this has happened at least 8 times.*ak
EXTERIOR LIGHTING - HEADLIGHTS - HIGH/LOW BEAM DIMMER SWITCH
02/03/200630000101/02/2004
 Dt*: the contact stated the lever that changes the headlights from low to high beam is the same lever that cuts the headlights on/off. the absence of tension in the lever causes the lever to rotate when going from high to low beam, causing the headlights to go off. the dealership and manufacturer have been alerted. updated 04/12/06.*jb
EXTERIOR LIGHTING - HEADLIGHTS - SWITCH

 Problems with the location of the headlight controls.*mr the headlight controls, located at the end of the turn signal arm, are very easily moved. when the headlights are on they can be inadvertently turned off when using the arm to signal a turn. it's not until the console goes dark that the driver is aware that the lights have been turned off. the consumer has attempted to notify nissan of the condition and has also notified the dealer. *nm
