1992 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"A sporty sedan of questionable reliability which is very expensive to repair."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car immediately began stalling. The dealership service station says it needs new ignition coils at a cost of $650.00.
The brakes are squeaking and the dealership says, "They're fine, they do that."
Lower front ball joint needs immediate repair at a cost of $300.00.
Tape deck stopped working the second day I had it.
Power locks and trunk release stick when it's cold.
Dealer claims the transmission is beginning to slip. This could cost $2000!
General comments?
The engine is powerful, even with a possibly failing transmission.
Nice interior design. All the controls are well placed.
Handles well for such a large sedan.
Love the moon roof design and controls.
Bose speakers sound amazing since I replaced the stereo.
Nice looking car.
