POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN MAXIMA'S MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 1989-1994. MANY MAXIMA OWNERS HAVE HAD THEIR TRANSMISSIONS FAIL AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION MORE THAN ONCE IN THEIR NISSAN MAXIMA'S.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE WINDOW PROBLEM I HAVE SEEMS TO BE WITH A LOT OF THIS CAR MODEL. EACH TIME I HAD A WINDOW FIXED, IT COST ME $220.00. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A DEFECT THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE PAYING FOR. OTHER THAN THIS PROBLEM MY OTHER WITH THE TRANSMISSON JUST STARTED AND I DO HAVE 100,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I WOULD EXPECT SOME THINGS TO GO WRONG. THE WINDOW PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO. ALSO WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE FIRST WINDOW REPAIRED I ASKED ABOUT MY RADIO ANTENNA NOT GOING UP AND DOWN ANYMORE. IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS THE SAME KIND OF PROBLEM I HAD WITH MY WINDOWS. THE OPERATING MECHANISM IS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC. MOTOR RUNS BUT NOTHING GOES UP AND DOWN.
