2001 Nissan Maxima Sedan SE 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5M)
falling apart at 80K mi
 The car was more or less fine till it got close to 80K mi. The car never came close to the sticker mi/gl - 23 mi/gl at best. After warranty ended (at 36K) - I replaced MAF, rear brake caliper, alternator, battery, all ignition coils, 1 O2 sensor, 2 sets of tires. I've been battling with check engine light for two months now... $800 later it's still on. Dealership replaces one part after another with no end in sight. Now dealership wants $2,000 more to replace both catalytic converters, refuses to do it under emission warranty. I called Nissan Corp.- they don't want to help either. So much for customer service and loyalty. Oh well, last Nissan that my family will ever buy!
