I took my car in for 30,000 mile service yesterday to my local dealer. When they asked if I had any problems, I had to say no. Furthermore, my brakes are still good and the original Toyo tires have plenty of tread remaining.

Of course at my age, I don't drive the car very hard. My sense is that some of you who are having problems with your Max may be contributing to the difficulties by your driving habits. I believe the Maxima is a well-built car, but it can become troublesome when driven beyond its design capabilities.

 

I Agree I have had no problems with mine either but I only have 10,000+ miles.

 

I've got 34,000 miles on my 2k1 and no problems here!

AND I drive like a (controlled) maniac too

come to think of it...I never took my car in for it's 30K
servicing......

 

I'll be hitting the vaunted 36K mile mark this week on my 2K. Still loving mine.

 

and at 40K I have only had to have the rotors turned and I just replaced the tires. So I think it can handle the abuse.

 

39k on my 2000. ive only had new pads put in the front and oil changes. no problems whatsoever other than the squeeks and rattles, windnoise, etc.

 

1500 miles on my 2k2...bought it 4/30/02...i commute 100 miles a day...san francisco to san jose...exactly 50.2 miles each way

 

As with any new car, it takes a while to get out all of the kinks. I've done Fuel-cut TSB, Wind-Noise TSB, Brake Judder TSB (and now out of warranty have replaced fromt OEM rotors/pads with Stillen).

The car is now perfect!

 

When I took in for 30K service, the problem I had were front brake pads, worn down to 20%. That's pretty much about it.

 

49,000 miles and extremely happy!!! I still can not think of a better car for the $ (maybe the new G35). I don't think the Germans have anything on Japanese cars. My Maxima is much nicer to me than my friends 5 series. I just hate front wheel drive, time to test drive the G35!!!
