| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a used 2000 nissan maxima that had 28,000 miles on it almost 3 years ago. i have only put 6,000 miles on the car, but have had problems with the check engine light being on almost continuously since i purchased the vehicle. i took it to my regular mechanic when it had to pass smog inspection. he temporarily fixed the engine light problem, but soon as i accelerated over 50 miles per hour, the light came on again. i have also had problems with the brakes, which had to be completely replaced twice, the ignition (car wouldn't start), and, a problem with the car when downshifting (engine seizes up violently). there is also a suspension problem, as car makes loud noise every time i have to go over speed bumps. my son is ready to get his driver's license, and i will have to get rid of this car at a loss, as i do not feel the car is safe for him to drive. *jb |
