it has 60k miles and a couple minor problems. first off when i apply medium-hard pressure on the brakes the steering wheel vibrates. the car also leans to the left instead of driving center. im guessing an alignment is needed and i was wondering how much that should cost.

the second problem is a little odd. theres wind noise coming in from somewhere on the drivers side door but i cant figure out where. it seems like theres a gap in the rubber lining because my finger fits into it even when the door is shut and locked. is this a common problem, and if so how do i fix it

thanks

 

Sounds to me like you have bad rotors, have it checked out with a mechanic.

 

how much are rotors typically, for both front.

 

Hello, congrats on purchasing a maxima and welcome to maxima.org.

You may need some new rotors with your next brake job. I purchased my OEM replacement rotors at tirerack.com.

My older maxima has some weather striping missing from the drivers side door causing a wind noise that seems similar to what your explaining. Look at the thick rubber seal around the door for tears or missing pieces.

Good luck with your new car.

 

thanks. it definately looks like the weather stripping is cracked in a few spots, in one spot its almost split in 2 pieces hanging on by a hair. i guess some sort of sealant will fix that.

 

if you want rotors.. you can get a pair of brand new rotors from Automax_95 for cheap.. i dont recall the price but they are really good deal

and the wind noise.. there is a TSB on that take it to the dealer and get it fixed for free

 

thanks a lot. im reviewing the TSBs right now. will they fix it under the TSB even if its factory warranty is expired?

 

tsb or technical service bulletins are not free, unless explicitly covered under warranty.

they are simply repair advisories, which are a solution to a common problem. reccals are free, TSBs are not.

 

no big deal. rotors are only about 50 bux a pop at tirerack. also the TSB for wind noise recommends insulation tape, also very simple.

once these two minor problems are fixed the car should be ace.

since i dont have the manual, could someone please list the recommended service at 60k miles?

 

supreme allah by the way
