2003 Nissan Maxima Owner Comments

Maxima

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Normal maintenance performed on vehicle - oil change, tire replacement - car was on a lift. Mechanic recommended that I "think" about getting rid of the car as the frame of the vehicle is very very rusted and while not "unsafe" yet, is becoming unsafe. I understand from consumers reports that the 2004 Nissan Maxima has a recall for frame rust and stability and repairs are covered by manufacturer but not the 2003. I have not contacted the manufacturer as of yet to see if this would fall under their recall. The quality of the metal on this car is very poor (I had to replace an oil pan due to rust which I have never had to do on any other vehicle I have ever owned). The rear panels of the car are rusting through as well. Otherwise car has been extremely reliable (one owner) and I don't want to get rid of it yet.
