What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2008 nissan maxima. The vehicle was parked when the contact noticed a large gap between the front hood and front bumper. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was told the bumper was built to factory standards. They were unable to repair the vehicle. The failure mileage was 15,000 and the current mileage was 30,000.
Was informed by nissan at the time that the floor boards in my 2008 nissan maxima were beginning to rot. Vehicle was brought to nissan dealership on july 20, 2015 and was told at this time there is extensive rot on both the drivers side floorboard and passengers side. Was also told that since the vehicle is out of warranty there is nothing nissan can do. So now I am forced to either pay to have it fixed or get rid of the vehicle that runs perfectly fine.
