Description of the problem	Problem with steering wheel shaking badly while braking. I was told i needed new tires at first soon after ownership. I bought this maxima new in 2003 with about 10 miles on it. Couple years later had to take back to dealership for bad tires/cracking on the sidewalls. Had two new tires put on and had the rotors machined. Problem recurred almost immediately after having rotors machined with some improvement, but now the problem is worse than ever. Bought two more tires and was told to replace the rotors when i am going to replace the brakepads, which has already been done once. Fog light also had to be replaced while getting an inspection. Had to replace a battery which made my gas gauge fail/currently does not work. Put gas in every 300 miles so i don't get stranded on the road. Care runs badly and i feel very unsafe in this vehicle/considering getting rid of it as soon as possible. I believe nissan should take this vehicle off the road before it seriously hurts somebody.
