I just got a used nissan maxima se 6 speed with 95k miles on it. I am wondering what are the most common problems were with this car. The few problems my car has is that the e brake seems like it may be a little loose... I cant figure out if my mirror controller is broken or what, maybe i just don't know how to use it. I also have noticed that the radio randomly turns off, then back on. Not really sure where to start.. I am also interested in what preventative measure i could take to prolong the life of my car, im on a decently tight budget. I bought some seafoam as instructed by a family member to "clean" my engine by using in the gas. Is this a good idea? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

 

....theres an introduce yourself thread for that Ryan. Welcome to the org.

 

I did not mean to post that, sorry for looking so ignorant

 

Go thru the TSB list and make sure those are all applied as needed. Then worry about the Seafoam.

 

Check your engine oil!

 

Welcome! And, um,here;
