I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE THAT I BOUGHT 2 YEARS AGO WITH 14000 MILES ON IT. CURRENTLY HAVE 24000 MILES SO I DON'T DRIVE A LOT. IN THOSE 2 YEARS, I'VE HAD STRUTS, BRAKES, ROTORS,A/C PROBLEMS, TONS OF ANTI-LOCK BRAKE ISSUES(WAS IN SHOP 4 TIMES) AND AT 19000 MILES, A TIRE BLOWOUT AND AGAIN ANOTHER ONE AT 24000 MILES. I SUBMITTED MY PAPERWORK FOR CRACKED SIDEWALLS ON MY GOODYEAR RSA TIRES ON JULY 1,2007 AND HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING YET. THIS CAR HAS BEEN THE CAR FROM YOU KNOW WHERE. IT JUST HAS PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM--I GET ONE THING FIXED AND SOMETHING ELSE SEEMS TO COME UP. *JB
