Recently purchased a 2000 Maxima. Since having it only three weeks I am told that I need to replace the Bank 2 number 2 O2Sensor, one would think that would be easy but you'd be wrong. After calling Nissan, two parts stores and looking it up on the internet, and buying the repair manual and having the part ordered wrong twice with Nissan giving me the part numbers I am now awaiting the right part to come in.

While this is going on the CD player has started skipping and was informed by the old owner that it has been replaced three times already for the same issue and that this is the third O2 sensor replaced in this car. As I look on these sites I see all the same things, CD players, O2Sensors and Engine Coils. I can't believe there is no recall on any of these items.

ALso now is happening the driver and passenger windows are power and they go up half way and either get stuck or go back down. Found out the org. owner also had this fixed twice. I mean really if you have to fix something over and over you have a problem. I used to think that this company was dependable and worth the extra money. THis is will be my last Nissan.

I have a 2000 Nissan Maxima & just had to have my engine coils replaced. This along with over 3,000.00 in repairs is more then the car is worth. I am a single mother & had to take out a loan to repair this car. Nissan has a TSB out on this issue & it should be a recall. This is my first Nissan I have purchased & will be my last.

I am single mother & can't afford to but more into this car. I was taken for buy the dealership I bought this car from & the finance company. Even a little help from Nissan would be great. I am out of pocket in the 2 years I have had the car over 4,000.00. The car is only worth 3,500.00. HELP!

My 2005 Nissan Maxima has an issue in the master switch to where the back passenger window will not go back up from the main switch by the driver. You can open the window from the main switch but have to close it by the switch on the actual door. I had an estimate and it was over 300 to fix. In talking with my aunt several months later, who owns a 2007 Altima, she was having the same issue. I wrote Nissan and was told there are no recalls on my car.

No damage, just a hassle. Seemed odd that 2 people in the same family would have the exact same issue

2005 Maxima has been at the dealership 22 days and counting. It apparently needs a new 1300 ABS Actuator. Car is out of warranty but I asked Nissan for goodwill assistance. Some regional manager called me and said they would help me, but now (two weeks later) I can't get him to call me back. It's all very shady if you ask me.

I really, truly believed that Nissan was top-of-the-line until this, the very first time I have ever had to deal with them on a major issue. I would have been OK if they would have just called me back and said, no, we can't help you and here's why. But to never even receive a call back is unacceptable. The case has been under review for two weeks now and I have had promises that the regional manager was going to call me on a specific day, but he never does. I've been extremely patient and kind with them, but it's gotten me nowhere.

Supposedly today I will be picking up my car that's supposedly fixed for a mere 1750 in repairs and labor. Yes, that's a lot of money. But it's not about the money anymore. It's about being completely ignored by Nissan in spite of my repeated requests to get a response from them. It's very clear to me that they don't care about their customers. Unfortunately, they have left me no choice but to walk away from Nissan when it's time to trade my Maxima in.

I have a 2 year old Maxima that is suffering from corrosion on all 4 alloy wheels. Since this is caused by the environment, nissan will not cover the replacement of these wheels. It is stated in their warrenty booklet that they will only cover alloy wheels for 1 year or 20,000 km which ever comes first. This was not explained to me when i purchased the extended warrenty and when I was told the original warrenty which is not up yet is comprehensive.

So I am wondering what this says about a huge car maker who warrenties their wheels for only 1 year. This shows the quality of their cars and faulty products. Their customer service center were extremely unhelpful and unsympathetic bordering on rude. They have lost a customer and I will be sure to let everyone know about their quality and their poor customer service
