THIS IS NOT A SAFETY COMPLAINT. HOWEVER, I PURCHASED THIS 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA ONE YEAR AGO. ABOUT ONE MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED IT, THE PAINT STARTED CHIPPING OFF THE BUMPER AND NOW IT LOOKS TERRIBLE. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IT WAS MY IDEAL CAR AND I DEFINITELY DID NOT EXPECT TO HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH IT WHATSOEVER, ESPECIALLY ONE MONTH AFTER MY PURCHASE. NOW I AM HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT THE QUALITY PUT INTO THE EXTERIOR OF THE NISSANS. LOVE THE CAR ITSELF BUT VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE QUALITY. VERY DISAPPOINTED AND CAN'T SAY THAT I WILL BE PURCHASING ANOTHER ONE. WHAT'S SAD IS THAT THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON THE EXTERIOR WHEN IT WAS ONLY A YEAR AND A HALF OLD. DEFINITELY NOT A GOOD LOOK. *TR
