2000 Nissan Maxima review from North America
"Sounds like a horrible car. Nissan should pull up their big boy pants and take responsibility"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I'm writing about my Dad's Maxima. He bought it from the dealer in 2000. Takes it in like clockwork to the same dealer for routine maintenance.. always.
Never had major problems. Two days ago, he calls and tells me his car won't start. (Apparently it turned but did not start).
Next day, Nissan changes out the starter for about $500. The car is knocking and apparently sounds terrible! Nissan tells him he needs a new engine because it's shot. They tell him they'll give him $1000 for a trade.
General comments?
My feeling is after reading all about this models problems is that he may need a second opinion.
