The crank seal went a week after I got the car, the paint on the bumpers are chipping, the rear windows don't go down, the brakes were replaced 5 times, the speakers cut in and out $800 I put into the car after I got it, and the fuel pump went twice in the matter of one year.
I will never buy a Nissan ever again they are such pieces of crap, all Nissan's are rust buckets.
Uh, well, the car was already 14 years old and had 140K miles on it when you bought it, and you have managed to get another 16K mles out of it in just a year, so it must not have been that bad.
And it's your own fault that it is a rust bucket. You bought a rusty car, then you complain about it. Wasn't the rust apparent before you bought it?
What an uninformed review this is. If you live anywhere with moderately snowy winters (where salt is likely used on the roads), of course there's a good chance a 14 year old car will be rusting. Unless the previous owner (s) were meticulous in rust proofing, which most people aren't, winters will eventually catch up to any car; Nissan or otherwise. If you didn't bother with a proper visual and mechanical inspection before you bought the car, then fine. But don't blame Nissan for your lack of good sense.
Some people are unrealistic with their expecations. Having owned a number of Maximas, they are very reliablem, but they cannot defy the laws of time and aging. Spending $800 to keep a 15 year old car running is not unexpected. Sounds like the car received poor maintenence to me.
You must not have taken good care of this car. Mine has 189000 miles and runs fantastic. A lot of power for a V6, but the most important thing is that it is very comfortable.
