We just purchased our daughter her first car, a very nice looking 1995 Nissan Maxima. It only had one small rust spot one the rear fender, and it seemed to run great, so we bought it home. Two days later we noticed a thumping noise under the hood. Upon investigation, found that the lower radiator support has totally rotted away in the middle, where the front motor mount bolts on. This caused the motor to tilt forward about three inches. It wont be long till the motor falls out on the ground... when I called local dealer they said this is a common problem. What a piece of junk, now the car is unsafe to drive. I am the second owner and this car was meticulously maintained by the first owner and has never been in an accident. If other owners do not catch this defect in time someone could get hurt.. will be calling Nissan to SE what they will do.
