| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 nissan maxima which was purchased march 2006. Have replaced the struts and later found them to have some sort of defect. The radio/cd player went out about 6 months after the purchase of the vehicle. The horn went out, fog lights had a short, had numerous brake problems. A/c had to be re-charged 1 year after purchase.. This list goes on. October 16, 2008, i had my vehicle towed due both transmission cooler linesbursing on the fwy. The shop repaired both lines totaling $428. 54. Today is november 24, 2008 and my vehicle needs to go back to the shop due to the transmission slipping and jerking into gear. I have gone on line and read all the complaints for the 2004 nissan maxima's and the transmission problems. I am having the same issue the other owners have. Something needs to be done! There is evidence that nissan north america has not put these maxima's together in a correct manner. These are beautiful cars but are always breaking down. Please help! |
