Broke and Busy
Okay, I'm a student, so I'm broke and extremely busy. I need a place to take my Maxima since it decided it didn't want to start anymore. Assuming that it isn't the battery, which I'm going to try to check this Saturday, I need some advice on a dependable place that won't take away my ability to eat three meals a day... Any suggestions?

if nothing happens, it is the battery. if it clicks but wont start, that could be the battery or starter (more likely battery) if it has full juice and everything works BUT the starter, it is a starter problem.

Yes it’s the battery but also I have a major problem with my Maxima. It was involved in an accident some time ago and has been to several Centers to be repaired.
The car has massive 'over-steer'. The first 30 degrees turn in the wheel do little if nothing at all. If I hit a pothole or curb the wheels will move in whatever direction they choose. If I break hard the wheels will also pitch in whatever direction, regardless of camber on the road. This causes a massive steering problem. Has anyone any ideas?
I am getting no joy from Maxima and really need some help. A maxima mobile technician drove the car and admits there is a problem, but nobody can seem to find it!!!

Not to pick but if you turn the wheel and it doesnt do anything thats called "understeer"

I would say that you probably have a bent tie-rod...maybe a broken ball joint and some other mechanical linkage in your steering system is messed up. Depending on what they find...it could be maybe a few $100 or you may be looking up into the $1000's.
