4 Windshield problem of the 2004 Nissan Maxima

Failure Date: 01/07/2005

The windshield rubber on the top was loose when I bought this car. Also I noticed there was a scratchy sound when I turned on the wiper right on the first day I took this car home. I checked it and found out that the wiper rubber was came loose and the steel touch the windshield class. It scratch the windshield. The stevens creek dealer was very nice and they did change the windshield and tighten the seal arround the windshield. 2 days ago it was rain preaty hard in where I live. In the morning when I drove the car I was shock that there was water coming out from the lights interior. It was preaty bad and I couldn't believe I paid so much for this piece a junk. Many times the engine would stalled, you can't gas and loose the power. I brought it to the same dealer, they couldn't regenerate the problem thus they don't know how to fix it. The tire vibrate between 50-80 mph and they couldn't fix that one either. I've been driving so many cars. . . And this is the worst one. This is would be my first and last Nissan and I'm planning to sale it ASAP. I have a feeling that this car's resale value would be lot lower the mistsubishi. One more thing; the driver seat cover on the back came loose also and it hanging on the seat and shows the inside of the seat. Did I tell you this car is a piece of junk already? now you know.

6 Windshield problem of the 1998 Nissan Maxima

Failure Date: 05/01/1999

The front windshield is designed defective from Nissan. Anything that touches the windshield either pits, chips or cracks the glass. In my opinion, there will be a serious problem in the future, possibly leading to injuries or a fatal accident. Thank you. Roy oxenrider 5/17/99.

7 Windshield problem of the 1997 Nissan Maxima

Failure Date: 11/01/1998

When I was driving to work on 11/98, I was at a stop light when I heard a noise like ice or water falling on the roof of my car, when I looked in front of my car I saw my windshield crack just below my left windshield wiper. The crack started from beneath my left windshield wiper and proceeded up above the windshield wiper and ran all across the windshield across to the right. I took it to the dealerhship the next day and the service manager took a pen and followed the crack up the windshield and lifted the wiper and he said that it looks like a peeble hit my car. The hole was the size of the tip of a pen. I told him that I was not near any trucks or close enough for a car to do this. So he told me that I would have to replace it myself. I still feel that this was a defect in the windshield, somehow maybe effected by the cold weather as well.
