Things that piss you off about your maxima!

can't find the oil filter
I have a 2011 Maxima with AT. This is my fourth maxima and I have always changed my oil and filter. The filter seems to be in a different position than my 2002 and perhaps it is covered up by a plastic air shield. How can you get to it?
#883
location of the knock sensor is what i hate the most i know there is a easier way of getting threw a small whole above the starter but id rather tear off the top to get to it to check out everything under my intake upper and lower

lol
My dad owns that gen and your #3 is so very weird indeed. I own a 4th gen and my only gripe about it is that the auto shifter **** is not sporty or good looking at all. It is this huge almost fist thing that you must touch and see everyday so why not make it nice looking?
#889
Agree
I hate making youturns with the Maxima I am a 6th generation owner and its still the same I also hate that i have to flick the switch for my mirrors to fold why cant they just fold as soon as the car shuts off lol
#891
I agree with the folding mirrors ... At least give an option To make them auto on powe on and off .... I usually notice the mirrors closed when i get down the street

How right now (I think) my muffler is making a noise when I go over a bump. Don't know if that's how its supposed to be, but its definitely annoying. That and the wheel design on my I30 . Found some nice replacements on Tire Rack so maybe I'll look into getting them when my finances are in better shape next year

Once a year?? I do it every three months in my NA 4 gen, my dad did it once a month in his S/C 4th gen, now he has a 3.5 5spd 1998 he is putting the S/C on... And I'm putting a 5spd in mine

I hate how freaking high the RPM's are when driving at highway speeds.
I live in Georgia and even down by Atlanta people do 75-80 MPH.
2900-3200 RPM to only be going 75-80 MPH. The Honda Accord coupe V6 has to be doing 90 MPH to be at 3100 RPM. My Dad's TL is right around 3200 RPM at 90 MPH.
WHY THE **** DOES IT HAVE TO REV SO HIGH?? YOU KNOW THE GAS WE WASTE?????????????????

Its A 2000 5 Speed and I know how you feel. I should be right around there too, if not higher. I really don't remember right now. I should though. hahahaha

One thing I came across is that the sensors seem to be 4x more expensive compared to other Nissans at least for my case, I got my air bag lights flashing and its a front crash zone sensor, costs 500 dollars. For a altima it costs 100? 400 dollars difference and why 500 dollars for just a sensor? Even finding it used is hard

I cant stand having to replace one fuel injector, and then 2 wks later another one is on the verge of dying smh! have to take the whole stupid manifold off again. And dont let one of the window regulators die. they seem to fail at the worst possible time. I had my driverside window regulator fail on me while i was inside the automatic car wash!!!lol
#906
Ive noticed that too, on a new impala going 80mph the rpms are right near 2k. On my 93 maxima gxe going 80mph, my rpms are around 2500 to 3000.

Just remembered how my trans is like $hit in the morning. Very first shift "pushes" the car, it flares a bit, and then high-RPM 1st -> 2 shifts take forever, holding 6k RPM. Maybe time for a tranny drain and fill?

My '11
should have ventilated passenger seat as well, not just the driver
Not that the stock radio is bad, but it should be better
Wish exhaust note was more like infiniti
a little more torque from a standstill would be nice
All minor personal quirks, car is great overall

1. My suspension never stops making noise no matter how many times i fix somthing on it.
2. Turning radius
3. Center console
4. Loud engine. That i cant figure out how to fix or why it is so loud or are all maxima engines like that?

Oh I forgot to mention:
-excessive oil burning
-tensioners noise
-can't seen to make a full u-turn at a on lane traffic light intersection
-little things that cost stupid money.eg.sensors,ballast,headlight bulb
-how hard they made it to change the stupid sparkplugs and pcv valve

Haven't owned this car very long but I'd say I was pretty pissed when I had it for about a half hour and put 30 miles on it when the clutch just fell to pieces. I won't blame nissan for that one though.
