1990 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bose stereo - speaker/amp blown $500 to replace (didn't do that).
Bose caseette never worked well. Did not fix.
Now stereo is almost worthless with whining noises and???
Mass air sensor went.
Timing belt went.
Oil pump failed.
Starter went.
PDL on front passengers side gone.
Power window on the passenger side rear gone.
The halogen headlights blow about every 4 months.
Had to replace the ignition wiring harness.
Clock never worked.
ABS sensor on the right front is shot.
General comments?
Love driving the Maxima... hate the high repair costs and am looking forward to replacing it soon.
I was disappointed with all the equipment failures.
It isn't as though I didn't take good care of the beast!
