Faults:

I am absolutely shocked at the low level of quality of this car. Even more shocked at the level of service at the dealerships. Let see.. what we wrong (so far)

1. ABS Sensor needed to be replaced

2. 2 O2 sensors needed to be replaced

3. Faulty wiring in the front headlight

4. Recently took my car for an oil change (at the dealership), now its leaking oil.

5. Clutch is gone

6. Steering audio controls don't work

7. Needed a new starter

8. Leather is VERY poor quality, seats already tearing even with weekly applications of leather conditioner.

9. My slave and master cylinders might need to be replaced.

There are other problems I've had with this car as well as with the dealership. Nissan Canada (and its dealerships) will not stand behind their product. I WOULD NEVER BUY A NISSAN IN MY LIFE AGAIN!

My My maxima recently had a hard time starting, and when accelerating it hesitated, check engine light on, much like the complaints I'm reading about coils going bad, I took it to a shop that only does electronic diagnostics on cars, they found it to be a Cam SHAFT POSITION SENSOR on the car. I looked at recalls for my i30 since its just a dressed up maxima, and sure enough there are recalls for the 2002 i30 cam shaft position sensors both front and rear, so check the recalls I don't believe there were any on the maxima, but double check. sensors are $70 -$90 at auto parts stores, if there is a recall take it to dealer and have them do it for free, they will even give you a free loaner car.

General Comments:

Good car every car has something wrong with it from, FORD, Chrysler, infiniti, to Bentley. weigh pros and cons good car for the money.

Faults:

Only two things: The A/C compressor failed and was replaced under warranty. The Mass Air Flow sensor failed and was replaced at a cost of nearly $500 at the dealer. This is a part that can be purchased through a parts house and installed by anyone who can turn a screwdriver.

General Comments:

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CAR.

With the right tires this car handles nearly like a BMW 5 series.

It is quite on the inside.

Low maintenance costs.

Very powerful engine. Mine has done 135 MPH.

Excellent stereo system with the Bose upgrade.

Faults:

-Leather seat (driver side) ripped

-Daytime running lights don't work

-headlights and interior lights flicker.

General Comments:

I really like this car overall - it has excellent power and looks great inside and out. I have never driven a car with an engine so smooth and powerful at the same time. However it does have some problems that I wouldn't expect from this caliber of automobile.

The wiring is a serious problem that I think will cost me big $$ pretty soon.

The drivers side power window is extremely underpowered and barely opens or closes when it is below freezing outside. The leather seat (drivers side) recently began to tear (I saw a few others with this problem when I was car shopping so it must be a quality issue)
