2004 Nissan Maxima review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought a 2004 Nissan Maxima in December 2005. Since then I feel like I bought the bearer of bad news.
When I got it, it was at the dealer four times for the rattling noise coming from the timing chain. All they did was give it a quick fix there, but 30,000 miles later later I had to put a new transmission in, new A/C low pressure lines, new oil cooler O ring. Which is a design flaw. I mean that every two months I am shelling out money into this piece of crap. Sorry for that, but it is.
Now I got a new surprise. My head gasket is blown. What the hell is wrong with this corporation. I owned 2 Toyotas and they had not one problem, and that's all I want to say about that.
!!! DO NOT BUY A NISSAN, PERIOD !!!
General comments?
This is a piece of crap.
