| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2004 nissan maxima in 2006. The first year my tires were on recall. That same year my car had a rattling noise when you start the car. One day driving on the city street with my kids the car completely shut down. The engine light was on. A few months later the car was not driving past 20 mph. I had the car towed to the dealer who said it was a cam crank sensor. That cost me 441. 46 cents. The car was now driving on 4th and 5th gear. That was on 10/10/o8. This past year on 1/22/09 the dealer called me to say that nissan recalled the rear suspension membrane. I towed the vehicle to get fixed i was then told my transmission was gone. Nissan did not want to pay for this bill. I paid 3,000 to replace the trasmission. My car is still rattling. |
