1990 Nissan Axxess review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing chain was repaired one year by the previous owner who is my brother in law at a cost of approximately $1000, the next year the timing chain went again and cost us $1000.
This vehicle "ticks", but according to the mechanic this is normal??
The next week the starter went and the cost was another $1000 as they appariently have to lift the motor to get at it.
The only door that works is the driver's side door, the others will not unlock. If you carry passengers, they have to climb over the stick shift, or sit in the back as if they are riding in a cab. This vehicle also loves gas!
I understand that it is a older van and that repairs are sometimes necessary, but this seems to be a very common problem. I would not ever buy an Axxess ever again.
