1990 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"Good performance, sub par reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My transmission went out at 109,000 miles. Very expensive.
Had to replace the clutch at 100,000 miles.
Just recently had radiator fluid leaking from the engine block.
Replaced the altenator at 100,000 miles.
General comments?
I generally trust Nissan. I purchased this car after extensive research and finding a great reputation for the Maxima and Nissan. It didn't work out like I thought it would. I believe that a previous owner abused my car.
