NIssan should pay to have this repaired instead of the consumer since it is a problem noted by them for the Altima

I purchased My Nissan Altima in 5/12---love the car--had an issue with the glass breaking on the fog lamp and I took it in for my first service and oil change and asked the Tech about replacing the glass ---was told that this was a constant problem with other Altimas and Maximas that Nissan was aware and that was the only Glass that could be broken easily on the car and that it would cost over 200 dollars to fix it --I ask if my warranty would fix it and he said no and i ask if Nissan would fix it since it was a constant problem and was also told no--------My complaint is that I want this lamp fixed-- This car was only several weeks old when this happened and now my nice car looks ragged I am a very OCD person and I cant stand for things to look bad I do not have the extra money to fix this lamp myself or I would have already fixed it----and if this is a constant problem the other lamp could break and fall out to--I would really love it if I could get this situation resolved
