Well everyone, I believe the ordeal is finally over. After I got the runaround with Nissan, I'll be getting my replacement Maxima soon. It's coming from Illinois and Nissan's throwing in a maintenance contract for my troubles. Thanks everyone for your support. I can't wait to get my 2nd 2004 Maxima!

 

DEMAND A NEW ONE, you dont deserve that crap. THe dealers are eating you alive. I swapped my new max in march because of soem scratches on the front panel, they were gonna paint and i demanded a new one. My new one now has a strut noise, cant get a new one here, too late. Anyways my point being, if i can get a new one for scratches you bet your a** that you can get a new one for this and a free ELITE PACKAGE. Man... Good luck!!!

 

I am getting a new one. I thought I made that clear. As for the Elite package, I like the navi but can't stand the rear buckets.

 

The engines and trannys are made in Japan. So what is going on? I have never heard of this happening to a Maxima.

 

I agree with 04Elite, Bro you should have them replce the whole car even though they are replacing things. I would hate to have a new car that I know they replaced alot of things on, I know rebuilt/ new motor swaps are ok but 9 times outta 10 they have more problems than cars that were built/had no issues from the get go. Get a new car so your worries and hopefully time spent in maintenance wo nt be as much.

 

Read the thread, he is GETTING A NEW car.

 

Yeh, It is better to do this for him then to frig with the old one. Only other case I know is my buddy that had a new TL ( so many problems they went to a new one and asked that he didn`t mention it).

 

Congrats on getting a new one, I didnt see your post while I was typing mine so I didnt know you were getting a new one, I should refresh my browser more often I guess. ANyways, I wish you the best, you must feel so much better now.

 

The 2004 MAXIMA engine (VQ35DE) is made in TENNESSEE, not JAPAN.

 

You know what really kills me about this whole story? Some poor man/woman will be stuck with Edify11's original 04 max. I mean seriously its a shame, this vehicle will get "fixed" and sent back out to a lot soemwhere. And some guy, maybe some new car seeker on the board here, will buy it up.

THis car should really should be junked/used for parts, but it wont so We should start a Thread of "VIN NUMBERS THAT ARE NO GOOD" Edify11, you should post your original VIN so somebody else doesnt get screwed down the line.

Am I overreacting? I am a little nitpick. :-)

 

Ok, I stand to be corrected. I was under the impression that they were only assembled in TN.

 

Yea, I thought that too?

 

Are you sure about that? I was told by Nissan that the engine and the transmission is built in Japan, and Tennessee assembles.

 

So Ed... When are you getting your NEW car back? Are you getting the same silver color or going with a better looking Black/dark colors? Post some pics of your new ride on your site when you get it back, alright? Talk to ya soon!

 

Majestic Blue is Manley>>>>

 

Koreanmaximan, I should be getting my NEW car in 1-2 weeks. I'm expecting a call from arbitration at Nissan on Monday to finalize the deal. I'm still getting silver, pretty much a carbon copy of my previous Max. One good thing that comes out of this is I get free maintenance for 75,000 miles.

RaTgoesMaX, yes majestic blue is manly!

 

The Silver Bullet will be Very Nice.

 

Engine=Tennessee, Transmission=Japan.

 

OK, there's been a delay with the Silver. Looks like I'm getting black on black with 5 year maintenence. With any luck, I might get it today.

 

No prob. The VIN # is 1N4BA41E94C881623. Stay away from this one!

 

ALRIGHT!!!

Black on black sounds GOOD!!! Mucho Congrats to you!!
Post pics, k?

 

I'll post pics ASAP. I'm kinda getting used to the idea of having a black car, I'm just not looking forward to the maintenence.

 

They are Sooo nice when they are clean. Wash and dry 3 times a week.

 

Ok, you guys are gonna love this... Nissan, finally gave me a new car. Black 6 spd SE. Picked it up on Saturday (5/8). Anyhoo, on my way to church (Sunday, 5/9), I get pulled over and get a ticket for speeding. 80 in 65. LOL! I couldn't believe it! My history with the 2004 Maxima is not starting on a positive note. So, I explained my whole ordeal with the new Maxima to the officer, and I asked if I could take pictures of my car pulled over (for nostalgia sake). I'll post the pics on cardomain sometime this week and use the pic as my signature. Well, I'm just glad I got my new Max. And oh yeah, this is mt second ticket in a week. I hope my license doesn't get suspended.

 

Sorry to hear about all the ordeal that you've gone through with getting your car, but its very cool to see that throughout this whole situation you're still excited about actually getting the car. Hope this one works out for you and we don't want to see anymore threads like this one

 

S***!!

What's going on@#$??? Talk about some bad lucks... Glad you finally got your car back, but sorry about the ticket...

 

Ok everyone. My new Cardomain is up with pics of my new Max!

 

Great choice for your sig pic.

 

The total fine for both my tickets is over $600! That's $600 that could have gone into my car! Sucks!

 

anyone having dash probles or radio stadic

 

WTF? Way to dig up this dead one to post something completely off topic.

 

yea i am. I cant seem to find my dash probles anywhere. Just kidding. But seriously, why dig up a 1 1/2 year old thread to post off topic?
