agree with you totally on Nissan corporate customer service, this regional rep thing they have is absolutely pointless and worthless most of the time being when you speak to the regional rep they either can't help you or just tell you to go back to the dealer; when you call Nissan corp they tell you to speak to the regional rep
 
Absolutetly ridiculous; I've leased several different makes in the last 6 years, Infiniti, Acura, Toyota, and now Nissan; Nissan has been the worse when it comes to customer service; they don't even respond when you send them a letter; with Acura they were up my ass all the time trying to help me out so you have to take it with a grain of salt
 
I do agree Nissan needs to step up their customer service because when they have vehicles like the Maxima and Murano, which they charge just as much for as an Infiniti, Acura, and Lexus, you need to be giving your customers the same level of service that the luxury divisions do!!

I will be out of town for a week. When I return the first week of February I will contact and post the name and phone number of an attorney that will work on drafting a letter to Nissian on our behalf.

I had an 04 that used to do the same thing....The clear cover for the monitor screen had to be taken off and cleaned from the inside...it took the dealer all of 10 minutes to do.

I haven't had an issue with my front suspension, but my rear suspension creaks and groans in cold weather...the noise us unbearable and embarrassing for a car that's just turned 17 months old with only 10K miles on it...I'll be bringing it in for round 3 tomorrow. I can't take it anymore. Oh and as far as the door jambs go, no, mine are not primer only...I have an '09 in Precision Graphite and all jambs & rockers are painted.....

Am looking at new 09 Maxima and was ready to buy untilI saw all of the complaints about the struts. Has this been fixed? Also, musst I use premium gas in this car?

I've had my 09 for almost a year and haven't had any of these issues. As far as the type of gas goes, it's recommended that you use a high grade gasoline. Personally I would not put regular gasoline is a "sports car" even if it has 4 doors. I would leave the regular gasoline to pickups and SUVs.

I think the car is meant for 93 Octane! reason being, I've been putting in Shell Premium since I got my 2010 Max and last week, there was a big brew ha ha at the station with the attendant and another customer and he accidentally put regular in instead of premium and as soon as I pulled out of the station I noticed a incredible difference; the engine idles rough (more shaking in steering wheel, pedals, etc) when I step on the gas the engine sounds like it is struggling and there is a lot of knocking and pinging going on! I'm trying to baby it on the road right now till I get off of this tank and can get it filled with premium again!

Good to know...along with a major electrical problem, I do hear a clunk coming from the front end when I cut the wheel to the left at a stand still then proceed forward.
