Consumer leased new Maxima. About 6 months later had to replace a tire. Took vehicle to service dealer and had replacement. Over this weekend a different tire came off while driving, but the repaired tire has slits in the tread as all the other ones do as well. The dealer noted this was a problem with the 2004 Maxima. Also there is shock problems known to Nissan but no recalls but dealers are aware of this and must replace those issues including the sunroof which apparently can shatter under extreme heat. Car is currently in shop for repair.

I bought this car on April 2004. On June 2004 it began to have problems with shock absorbers or struts. This happens 2 or 3 times a year and every time the dealer changes them for new ones they break again. They changed them last time on January 4, 2007 and the banging noise is starting again which is the sign that they will break soon. After the warranty expires this will become a burden.
Rear shocks failed.
