2005 Nissan Maxima Sedan 3.5 SL 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Disappointed with 2005 Maxima SE
 At 34,600 miles, my brake light and battery light began to blink intermittently. I took it to the Nissan dealer the next day and the service writer told me it was most likely a bad alternator. Four hours and $671.56 later the car was repaired.  I did not buy the extended warranty so I paid for it in full.  The next day I called Nissan's customer service line to see if there were any recalls or if there was any way they could at least give me a break on the price of the alternator ($345.00).  Of course, there were no recalls, and no, they would not reimburse me for the replacement cost of the faulty alternator.  Sorry, Nissan, I will not purchase or recommend a Nissan product again.
