#7621 of 8972 04 Max Problem by kennyg5 Dec 10, 2003 (7:12 pm)
Just got off another website for Maxima fans and was concerned about the complaints launched against the 6th Gen Max. Quite a few 04 Max owners complained about the car's excessive vibtations at speeds above 60 mph. One owner, who professed he was very lucky, was able to return the car to the dealer and suffered only a loss of $1,000. He elaborated that the dealer is a friend who used to play ball with him when they were teenagers and they also see each often in church. I wonder whether this could be one of the first year bugs which the 04 Max has to shed over the next few years.
#7623 of 8972 Did Renault do the design of the 2004 Maxima? by aristotle Dec 10, 2003 (10:06 pm)
After the French auto maker Renault got control of Nissan corporation they sure have turned around Nissan's finances. Nobody can deny that Nissan is in a much better shape financially now than they were 4 years ago.   But did Renault have a say in the design of the 2004 Maxima? It is such a pity that a winning car like the Maxima has been reduced to this state in the 2004 model year. Cars being sold in America must be designed by people who understand the tastes and requirements of the people here.

they should take the current altima, leave the front end the way it is, take the rear end of the current maxima, put it on the altima, somehow make it seem wider, put better quality materials in it, and rebadge it Maxima.   create and keep a maxima the way it was meant to be, an affordable sports sedan that's very good bang for the buck and keep the hertiage the way it's always been.. lets quit trying to be what we're not.. and we're (nissan) not in the same class as acura's, lexus, infinities, etc. it's like having someone who's been great at his job for the last 20 years, but now, having him do something he's completely incapable of doing.. would you run your business like that? i sure wouldnt
#7625 of 8972 Parking Brake Adjustment by brymil Dec 11, 2003 (10:52 am)
Can anyone provide instructions on how to adjust the parking brake on a 2002 Maxima? The dealer wants $45 to adjust it and that seems expensive unless of course, it is difficult to do. I can't imagine it is that hard.   Thanks!
#7626 of 8972 Max-Buick by kenm8 Dec 11, 2003 (10:54 am)
Ccermak in post 7613 may be on to something regarding a Japanese Buick. The 04 Max grille looks suspiciously similar to a 1958 Buick Roadmaster grille. If a future Max (05,06,..) has portholes on the side fenders, we will surely confirm Nissan/Renault's target audience for the Maxima.

no. renault has no design or engineering say in the partnership, and they also dont have controlling interest. they only have 30%. basically, if nissan is a woman, then renault is simply a sugar daddy.   kennyg...   maxima sales are about equal from june to november 2003 as they were from june to november 2002. the problem is that the numbers arent seperated by model year.

I beg to disagree about your statement concerning the interior space of the Mazda 6.   The MZ6 is not very small inside, but it is smaller than the current Maxima. I have test driven the MZ6 on one occasion and sat in the backseat of another at an auto show, and the space is roughly comparable to my '92 SE (MZ 6 has slightly smaller interior but much larger trunk). In my opinion, the MZ6 is the closest sedan out there that is comparable to my '92, which I consider the best generation of Maxima ever produced. I just wish the MZ6 had that sweet VQ engine.

i sold honda before nissan. the interior (mainly backseat room) of the 6 is significantly smaller than the accord, altima, AND maxima.
