| Description of the problem | My 2004 nissan maxima has been experiencing loud rattling noise when driving and severe shaking of the steering when applying the brakes. In april 2006 i took the car to the dealership. They stated the struts and suspension needed to be placed and insisted i pay for it. The struts had been replaced in the car previously in april of 2005 along with defective rotors. They also suggested the belts be replaced because they were cracking. I have not had the car two years yet, but parts on this vehicle continue to malfunction exhibiting all signs of defective manufacturing. Additionally i replaced two of the originally tires (goodyear rsa 18") at 12k and 20k miles for tears in the sidewalls. I have reviewed the other complaints on file for this vehicle from other owners and unfortunately i share the same problems with my maxima. *nm |
