2004 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"Disappointing!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has been a nightmare. It was great for the first 60,000 miles. At 60,000 miles a new transmission was put in.
Then the car had a continuous oil problem. It was burning oil and finally a new engine was put in at 90,000 miles.
At 80,000 miles a new clutch was needed.
At 120,000 miles I’m told I need another transmission.
On a previous web site there were over 110 reviews, most listing problems with transmission, brakes and engine. I am a very dissatisfied customer. Honda here I come!
General comments?
I have had the same issues with this car. It’s always a repeat of the previous problem.
