I WANT TO KNOW WHY NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED THE 1995 MAXIMA DUE THE SPRINGS DEFECT, GEAR SHIFT MALFUNCTION, STARTER PROBLEM AND THE LIST GOES ON. I HAVE 2 1995 MAXIMA'S AND THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. HAVING DONE QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH LOOKING FOR CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS, IT LOOKS AS THOUGH EVERYONE ELSE WITH A 95 MAXIMA HAS THE SAME DEFECTS. THE SPRING PROBLEM WITH THE SUSPENSION DEFINITELY SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AS WAS THE SPRING PROBLEM WITH THE SENTRA. I HAVE DOCUMENTED EVERY COMPLAIN THAT I COULD FIND AND IF MY DAUGHTER OR MYSELF HAS AN ACCIDENT IN THESE NISSAN'S, SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY WILL BE RICH! I DO NOT HAVE $1600 TO REPLACE THEM. I HAVE ALREADY SPENT $1000,S OF DOLLAR REPLACING STARTER, BRAKES, ROTORS, KNOCK SENSORS, BATTERIES AMONGST OTHER THINGS AND I'VE ONLY HAD THE CARS SINCE MARCH OF THIS YEAR. NEITHER CD PLAYER WORKS, INSIDE DOME LIGHT DOES NOT WORK.*JB
