EXTERIOR LIGHTING
EXTERIOR SURFACE OF HEADLIGHT -POLYCARBONATE LENSES EXHIBITING OXIDATION AND DETERIORATION CAUSING REDUCED ROADWAY ILLUMINATION AND REDUCED TURN SIGNAL ILLUMINATION. HEADLIGHTS SHOULD BE PRODUCED WITH A COATING DURABLE ENOUGH TO PREVENT SUCH OXIDATION AND DETERIORATION OF THE POLYCARBONATE SURFACE, AT LEAST FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

THIS MORNING WHEN I DROVE MY 2005 NISSAN QUEST VAN IN MY GARAGE I IMMEDIATELY SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. I LOOKED TO THE REAR OF THE VAN AND SAW BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM AROUND THE TAILLIGHT HOUSING.

BY THE TIME I COULD GRAB A FIRE EXTINGUISHER A HOLE APPROX. 6" IN DIAMETER HAD BURNED THROUGH AND MELTED PART OF THE TAILLIGHT HOUSING AND THE REAR BUMPER FASCIA.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
THE HEADLIGHT BULBS CONTINUE TO BURN OUT AND DURING THE LAST REPLACEMENT OF THE BULBS, THE COLLARS RETAINING THE WIRING HARNESS CRUMBLED IN MY HANDS. BOTH COLLARS LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO A LOT OF HEAT. THEN WHILE I WAS TRYING TO REMOVE THE BULB, IT CAME BACK ON. THE WIRING SOCKET WAS LOOSE AND NEEDED PRESSURE IN ORDER TO WORK. THIS TOO, LOOKED LIKE IT WAS EXPOSED TO A LOT OF HEAT WHERE THE WIRES CONNECT TO THE SOCKETS. IS THIS A DESIGN DEFECT?

INTERIOR LIGHTING
(1) A SCREW FELL OUT WHEN I OPENED THE SUNGLASS HOLDER. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT CAME FROM AT THE TIME. (2) THE MAPLIGHT ASSEMBLY, WHICH INCLUDES THE SUNROOF CONTROLS, THE TWO POWER SLIDING DOOR CONTROLS, AND THE REAR HATCH CONTROL, FELL FROM THE ROOF WHILE CROSSING RAILROAD TRACKS. THE MAPLIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS HANGING IN MIDAIR BY THE WIRES, SWINGING WILDLY, AND BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE ROAD AS I WAS CROSSING THE RAILROAD TRACKS. UPON EXAMINATION, THE PLASTIC AROUND ONE SCREW HAD CRACKED APART, SEPARTING THE SCREW FROM THE ASSEMBLY, AND THE SECOND SCREW HAD JUST FALLEN OUT. (3) I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO POHANKA AND THEY REPLACED ONE SCREW AND PUT A WASHER AND A DIFFERENT SCREW FOR THE OTHER CONNECTION. THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE MAPLIGHT ASSEMBLY, JUST PUT TWO DIFFERENT SCREWS AND A WASHER TO REATTACH THE MAPLIGHTS.
