2004 Nissan Maxima review from North America
"This is our worst buy ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I went to buy a Nissan Maxima this past weekend. Taking equity out of my house to buy a more dependable car.
I drove the car about 25 miles from the dealership to my home, and of course too good to be true, LOL. The transmission started making a loud clunking noise, and when you would step on the gas it didn't want to go.
I took the car back to them the next day, and they said they were putting a new transmission in it. Thank goodness we had a year warranty on the engine. I don't think I want to keep the car after I get it back due to all the problems I've seen.
Thanks everyone.
General comments?
This car might look good, but is bad news.
Don't buy one.
