The first week i bought my Max, it was smooth and quiet. Now, after only a week, its loud, it has a buzzing sound ,well its more like choo-choo-choo-choo..., in the engine and the when I press on the brake it creaks and feels real stiff. What do you all think happened? Do you all think it is covered under the warranty? I bought it used at a Nissan Dealer.

The dealer usually covers all mechanical problems for 60-90(depending on the year and mileage) days after the date of purchase. You should definitely go and let them check the car.

You blew the motor...

kidding, that could be one or a couple of many things... not sure what to tell you, go back to the dealer before you do anything else. Should be covered... good luck.

Did you have your car inspected by a mechanic before you purchased it? If not, take it to a mechanic, pay the guy $100 and have him inspect the entire car from bumper to bumper and note all the problems. Then take the list back to the dealer and have them fix it under warranty.

Why would you say something like "You bought a lemon".
Think of what he feels after you said that. What if you spend so much money on a car, and soon get some problems and I tell you that u got a lemon. How would you feel?

97BlackMaxSE, I'm sure those are just minor problems that can be fixed. Don't delay, go to the dealership where you bought the car. Have your warranty contract with you.

Good luck

Andy
