What owners wrote

1995 maxima has a major electrical problem, the car had a fire erupting inside the steering wheel column caused by a short circuit in the steering wheel column . The manufacturer said its nothing unusual. In other words, its very normal for an 8 year old car to catch fire while driving on the freeway. Yes, believe it or nor. Nissan north america did not stand behind their products. Dont be fooled by the nice looks of that car. I had to change the o2, knock sensor every two years.
