We purchased our 2006 Nissan Maxima 3 weeks ago. As of today the car has been in the shop 2 times, and is currently having problems. It will be taken back Monday and hopefully will receive a new car. It all started when one day I was driving and the locks on the doors started locking and unlocking by themselves, the windows wouldn't roll down and when I got home I wasn't able to turn my key in the ignition. After about 10 minutes of trying to hold down the lock manually in order to get out of my car, I finally times it right before the lock slapped back and was able to escape. We took it in the shop where it remained for 6 days. We got it back and a few days later the hazard lights stopped working, the center console lights wouldn't light up, and one of the vents wouldn't turn. They took it back in for a day and we took it back home. It worked properly for a day until the locks started acting up again. We've had it with this car. It's been in the shop more than its been with us, and we've only owned it 3 weeks. We paid $32k for a rotten egg and we're tired of getting the run around.
