1995 MAXIMA HAS A MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, THE CAR HAD A FIRE ERUPTING INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN CAUSED BY A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. THE MANUFACTURER SAID ITS NOTHING UNUSUAL. IN OTHER WORDS, ITS VERY NORMAL FOR AN 8 YEAR OLD CAR TO CATCH FIRE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. YES, BELIEVE IT OR NOR. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA DID NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. DONT BE FOOLED BY THE NICE LOOKS OF THAT CAR. I HAD TO CHANGE THE O2, KNOCK SENSOR EVERY TWO YEARS.*AK

WOMAN STOPPED SHORT. MY BRAKES WERE APPLIED BUT MY CAR HIT THE REAR OF WOMAN'S CAR. AIRBAG DID NOT OPEN RESULTING IN EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND INJURY TO DRIVER. *PH

VEHICLE'S REAR END WOULD SWING AROUND UNCONTROLLABLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD HIT A BUMP OR UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HIT GUARD RAIL. *MR

HOOD SHOCKS CANNOT KEEP HOOD OPEN. FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED, THE HOOD CAME DOWN ON MY HEAD AND HIT ME PRETTY HARD. MY WIFE HAD TO COME LIFT IT AND TEND TO MY DIZZINESS. DRIVER SEAT ADJUSTERS DON'T WORK ANYMORE, MY WIFE TRIED TO GET INTO THE CAR AFTER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT AND COULDN'T REACH THE PEDALS. CONTACTED NISSAN AND SAID IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE LOCAL DEALER INDICATED THAT NISSAN USED CHEAP PARTS (PLASTIC COGS) AND AFTER A WHILE THEY STRIP.
