2000 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"Great car, but where is the reliability?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has been great until 95,000 miles. All of a sudden the catalytic converter went out, and then the transmission began slipping and soon died. Bang, almost 5K later in repairs.
General comments?
Up until 95K it's been a great car and fun to drive. Seems quality. But all of a sudden had problems with transmission and catalytic converter that has made me loose faith in the car and Nissan. This is my second Maxima - the first went to 150K miles no problem. The dealer is no help at all nor is Nissan customer service.
