2004 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"It's a nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's side electric seat went.
Transmissions needed to be rebuilt at only 40,000 miles.
Now at 79,000 miles I need to replace the ABS pump.
General comments?
When I bought this car, it was only 2 years old with 18,000 miles. I felt like I was getting a brand new car.
The first two years were great. The car is beautiful and comfortable. Then the problems began.
First the power on the drivers seat went.
Then at less than 40,000 miles the transmission went.
Now, at 79,000 miles I am looking at replacing the ABS pump for over $1,000.
This car is a lemon, lemon, lemon and I would never ever recommend it to anyone. I wish a lawyer would contact all of us with this vehicle and put in a legal action against Nissan. I'm sure we would win!!
As much as I used to love this car, that's how much I hate it now. It's become a nightmare.
