There is a rubbing noise in the front end when the steering wheel is turned. The dealer stated that the noise is caused by the front springs rubbing against something else in the front end and the problem has occurred in some 1995 Maximas. The dealer indicated that the problem is caused by a design defect in the springs and that the design of current replacement part (new springs now available from Nissan) have corrected this problem. The cost of replacing the springs is $745, but Nissan has declined to provide warranty coverage. The defective springs are causing a safety hazard. There is obviously friction and wear on the springs, which will eventually fail. The dealer advised that a similar problem occurred with Nissan Sentra and that Nissan provided a recall of Sentra springs. Nissan, however, inexplicably refuses to recall Maxima springs.
