2004 Nissan Maxima SE 3.5
Summary:
This car is a piece of junk
Faults:
My transmission went out at 60,000 miles.
My air conditioner went out at 65,000 miles.
My front suspension needs major work at 80,000.
Now they are saying my timing chain needs replacing (major engine repair - another $1500).
General Comments:
Maximas have always been fun to drive. Too bad they are now being built like crap these days. I thought maybe I just had a lemon, until I looked up other reviews and see the same general consensus.
I am very disappointed with the reliability of this car. The upkeep and repair costs are ridiculously high for such low mileage.
At 80000 miles it has already required major repairs to transmission, engine, suspension, and A/C. Is there anyone else?
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

This could be a sticking valve. I would consult a shop pronto.
