bought 3 weeks ago with 44.6k, now has 44.9k...

I have 90k miles on my car. I invested in a new 2004 Maxima because my 1993 with over 130K miles Sentra did me good for 11 years and I was satisfied with Nissan quality so I stepped up my game. Just recently my 1st, 2nd and sometimes 3rd gears started slipping. Some days are better then others. I was driving my car one day and suddenly it cut off. I immediately took it to a Nissan dealer and after diagnosing the problem I was advised that I needed my CamShaft replaced which cost me nearly $300. Unfortunately this did not correct the problem. In my opinion it made it worst. With this current recession, I make $26000 annually and having to pay 1/6 of my annual income on a transmission is something that I can not fathom. What is a poor, old lady to do? Is there a recall on a problem of this magnitude?

This might not be the best thread to find your solution. Probably want to check other threads or you could contact some of the administrators or senior members about this.

NIIICE! You have the best of both worlds in that garage!!!!!!

Brought my '05 maxipad in '07 with 16k and as of yesterday I have 105k on it and she is still smooth... engine wise..
However I can't find a good summer tire that will last at all.. GRRRR!!! but love my maxima!! this is number two traded my '97 and she had 163k.

My 04 se Maxi is at 142,000 miles! She's still running strong and drives smooth! Just hoping the replaced transmission at 98k miles makes it another 50k at least!

05SL,61000 and still cruising smoothly.

2007 with 34k, bought it with 28k last fall.

bought my 05 maxima back in december with 70k and now right at 71k after 7 months, just too dang pretty to drive and mess up ha ha

04 77,000

I bought mine as a 90 w/163xxx on it back in summer of 09 currently have 177,786 w/a **** ton of problems! Massive oil leak around all head covers, nasty gurgling noise, exhaust putts and sporadic rough shakes accompanied w/ AT transmission slips when i don't have the shifter all the way pulled down into drive (meaning pulling it back making it feel like ur trying to put into 2)

I bought mine in 06' with 15 miles on it. Now I have 39k. Only to work & back. Short trips. having problems with the Master Cylinder & Sleeve Cylinder & I don't race it. I even had to change my Timing Chain because it was making a loud winding noise when in idle & in each gear except for reverse. Crazy. The chain was under warranty, but I gotta come out of pocket for the other stuff.

1998 had 124000 when I bought it now has 178000 nice ride.

04 all stock 78000 never had to repair or replace anything

Bought mine with 48K, it now has 120K

Hey guys for a 2008 i lost a couple of screws that hold in the guard on the front of the car ... any idea of the size i cant find @#$%*& anything online!

Sorry to tell you but this is the wrong thread for that. Go to the thread that most resembles your issues and I'm sure people will answer it there. But, my suggestion would be just head down to the hardware store with the screw that you do have and match it up. It'll be worth a try since buying a few screws is dirt cheap.

Actually, that is your best bet besides the dealership.

I am new here i got 04 maxima with 67k miles and its 6 speed manual....yay

Just bought mine. 06 with 72xxx.

Just joined the forum. Bought an '08 SL in 10/07 with 9 miles, now has 41,174 miles. Trying to decide if I want to buy it after the lease is up.

im definitely new but i just bought an 04 last week with 125k. best part is it drives and works better than the 03 explorer i traded in with 93k

Bought last feb. With 70k now has 89k

just bought mine as well. 2004 SL 88k

04 bought new in august of 04 and i have 107k

Just bought my 05 with 54k miles.....spent 400 to fix all rims, and 350 to fix paint....now looks and drives like a new car!!! I have never owned such a nice car......

55k and going up sucks lol

I just bought my 06 Maxima in April with 40K. Everything has been working great on it until the other day. My husband was driving it and the battery and emergency break lights started flashing on the dash....today the car totally lost all power. I went to advanced auto and they stated that the voltage was low on the alternator and the battery is low as well. I'm just trying to find out if its hard to replace the alternator? Is it a do it yourself kind of job?

I have the same problem with my 04 Maxima SE with 125k miles. The difference is mine would flash intermittently and when I checked the belt, it was old and worn. After I replaced the belt the light does not come on the same way it used to at all.

2003 Maxima SE with 275,000 miles with only tune up and cat converters replaced about 5,000 miles ago. Still runs strong. I like it better than my 2006 Maxima SE with 75,000 miles

just bought a 04 maxima with 48k... now i dont no where i should start.....

Bought it nov 09 02 wit 82,xxx. I did 2 trips to Florida with it which was close to 5k miles. Now im up to 90,1xx.
