2006 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"Junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nissan has to be about the worst car company I have ever dealt with. Brought my car back many times for the shimmy and vibration. They could not fix it. They get your money and run. They don't care about the customer, and won't admit that there is an engineering problem with the Maxima.
The car was designed with too much aluminum in the front end, so what you have is a harmonic vibration.
The lemon law is a joke. Your car has to be on the brink of destruction to get it awarded (been down this road).
I am now having problems with the CD player skipping due to the laser being off, probably from the vibration in the car. I have changed the rims, tires etc.
First and last Nissan for me. Should have gone with the Honda.
General comments?
Oh before I forget... the fragile parts on the car; the metal on the car is horrible and dents very easily. Try to change the air filter and the tabs snap off.. need I say more..
