Well, no one is going to post: "Hey, just wanted to check in here and let you all know I haven't had a single issue with my car."

Who wants to read that?

Well, I've had no issues of any significance at all. The worst thing I've had is the discoloration on the back side of the center-stack display screen. I haven't even bothered to get that replaced, although Nissan will replace it.

After a year and a half and 27,000 miles, no rattles or squeaks, everything working fine, and that great gas mileage. Wooo-hoo!

if cars had no issues, there would be no warranties. the question should be "I hope I didn't pick the wrong dealer" but even if you did, you found the right site to help you even with that problem.

welcome.

Mike TX is a fibber, he had issues with his OEM tires, like alot of us here

As for me - no major complaints - I actually still LOVE my car after owning it for almost 2 years and 28K miles.

But today, I have my car in for a clunking sound, front side wheelwell (strut) and brakes are sounding rough

Also getting my 30K service early and installing the Unorthodox Racing Pulley.

Chances are you will love your new MAX. Great cars that outperform cars that cost 10-20K more... My friend just bought a BMW 525i and I just smiled and congratulated him, knowing that my MAX SMOKES his ride...

[preach] What you have to understand is that any car - no matter how nice it is (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc...), you will find things wrong with it. Go to any other car forums and you will see. The key is to enjoy all the good things about your car. [/preach]
