1999 Nissan Maxima review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Purchased a 1999 new Maxima, only owner, wife drives the car. Only 65,000 miles right now.
Engine service soon light on. Car ran little rough. Took to my local Nissan dealer - after they ran a diagnostic - P1605 (A/T Diagnosis Communication Line) - Dealer replaced 6 spark plugs - didn't work, replaced all 6 Coil. Total bill $1276 (including tax - after 10% off coil parts for complaining).
I think this is very common problem for the Maxima, Nissan should take the responsibility but they don't have guts.
Dealer just loves to try everything to the consumer's cost.
Nissan won't step up. I will tell people never to buy Nissan cars again.
General comments?
Nissan need to step up, for their problem, pick up the responsibility, and to build up the confidence of the consumer. Otherwise, people are smart, they will not buy Nissan cars again, it's just that simple.
