1995 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"There when you need it!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fog light fell out
Left 02 sensor
Left CV shaft
Starter
Air bag light ($2700)
Canister evap control purge valve
ABS sensor
Brake light (fluid was low)
Knock sensor (still not fixed, but who cares, it just listens for engine noise)
Preventative Maintenance:
4 Raybestos struts
4 To-yo tires
1 tune up (Bosch Platinum plugs)
Brakes (all around)
Oil changes
Replaced Bose system with a Kenwood.
General comments?
The most stressful and expensive problem with this car has been the air bag situation. The whole system had to be replaced. Besides that, mostly everything else has been an easy fix.
This car is 11 years old and a joy to drive. I get many compliments on how smooth and quiet the engine is.
I have never been left stranded, even when various idiot lights are on, the car still performs. The outside is starting to show its age a little in terms of scratches and dings. I just try to make sure it's washed and waxed every weekend. No biggie.
