I WILL BE CALLING THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TODAY

THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR FENDER MOULDING IS FALLING OFF OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A TRIM PIECE THAT CONNECTS THE REAR FENDER AND THE ROOF. THIS PIECE IS ABOUT 26" LONG. THE PLASTIC CLIPS THAT HOLD IT ON ARE FAILING AND THE LEFT PIECE HAS FALLEN OFF WHILE DRIVING, AND THE RIGHT PIECE IS LOOSE AND FAILING. THIS IS A HAZARD AND MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE.

I WAS DRIVING THIS MORNING ON THE WAY TO WORK TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND 5:43 AM; AND I HEARD A LOUD BANG SOUNDING LIKE A SHOTGUN. IT SCARED ME TO DEATH AS I SWERVED AND HEARD WIND NOISE AS IF MY WINDOWS WERE DOWN. AND ALSO COULD HEAR GLASS FALLING ONTO MY SUNROOF SHADE. I FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER AND SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND WHOA AND BEHOLD MY SUNROOF HAS SHATTERED. IF THE SHADE WAS OPEN THEN THE SHATTERED GLASS COULD HAVE FALEN ON ME POSSIBLY GETTING INTO MY EYES AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT THIS 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA SL WITH 137,806 MILES. I DROVE IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY, IT WOULD NOT START, I WENT AND BOUGHT A BATTERY, ON THE WAY THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON., THEN THE TCS AND SLIP LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP, HE KEEP IT ALMOST 4 WEEKS, AND THEN TOLD ME IT WAS NOT WORTH FIXING/REPAIRING IT. I COULD NOT BELIEVE, I JUST SPENT OVER $4,000.00 ON THIS CAR AND I ONLY DROVE IT HOME!!, I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER WELL KNOWN MECHANIC SHOP, HE TELLS ME THAT IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION, MOTOR MOUNTS, SENSORS AND PROBABLY MORE. IT IS NOT WORTH FIXING IT. I AM A 57 YEAR OLD LADY AND I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY ANOTHER CAR AND I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT. I HEAR THAT THESE CARS HAVE ALOT OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND MORE. I WISH I HAD KNOWN THAT BEFORE BUYING IT.
