1) it handles like a damn boat
2) the hood weighs like 50lbs and the sturts are shot (nissan should of put the hood stand)
3) whos bright idea was it to put a brown dash in a tan interior
4) my driver door hinges are sagging (even after i replaced them)
5) my axles break cause the car is lowered
6) i need an extra key and its $110 at the dealer. i have a freaken base model
7) aftermarket support sucks on my 4th gen!!!

I hate that is shakes when a bigger car passes it when you're sitting still. And I hate that my tape deck and cd player don't work. Oh and it having bad rotors.
Other than that I love it to death and hope it serves me another 5 years.

The typical Nissan saggy rear end look. The FSM shows it, and the saggy a** only gets worse with anything in the trunk/rear seats. Other Nissans also exhibit this poor styling (02+ Altimas).
I had to raise the rear (Eibach/Koni) to get a decent appearance; sorry, no picture.

I have only had my 02 like a week, but I really love it so far. was very well taken of by the previous owner, so I really have niggling issues, even at 143k miles 
love the power, the 6 speed, the hlsd, and the extra room with a 1 year old baby compared to my 2000 civic Si I had previously. honestly, if I hadn't loved the car I would not have bought it my only complaint is that I didnt have it sooner

I also love my maxima to death. But that check engine light is so annoying man. Rust on the wheel arches and rocker panel are an eye sore especially because my car is white. Rim are all scratched up and tires are so bad its hard to drive in winter...I always get stuck...which is why my spoiler is broken off from getting a push when I got stuck in my driveway....and I hate how it looks without it. I hate that crappy cassette deck. I bought me a cool new chrome shift **** and cant get the old shift **** off. My parking brake works when it wants to. Opened my sunroof and it got stuck so I had to close it manually...its still not closed all the way cuz it cant go upwards to seal the roof shut. Its super dirty and I cant wash it cuz of the weather. One fog light went out after I just changed the bulbs. Cant hook it up the way I want to cuz I aint got a job since the economy is all jacked.

I have had my '96 GLE for just about 3 years and the only thing that I can think which peeves me the most is the turn radius which has been mentioned so many times here.
Overall, though I do love my Maxima, got it when it had 68K original verified miles on it, and it was garaged and pampered. I am trying to keep it that way now. But somehow with a 7 year old with adhd in tow in the back seat, things don't always work out that way.

2. When I'm in first or second gear at low speeds (say 2nd gear at 20 mph) and I let off the throttle, the car will jerk.
What''s the jerking? 2005 max.. my car has been jerking and even the darn dealer can't tell me why it's jerking (but nissan in SC says my timing chain is bad 1700.00 bucks); can't don't know why it's jerking. No engine lite is on... I'm so sick of the jerk. It's almost everytime at 20mph (giving gas or braking). Front nose & back nose of transmission of cracked, and motor mount will be replaced Monday. I hope this stops the jerking. I probably will never buy another Nissan EVER. First time I had to fix anything on my car but it appears to be one thing after another. HELP>> any ideas of what causes the jerk?

Scary to drive in the rain(mightj ust be my mismatched tires)
EATS gas(93 premium and I just have the VQ30)
Doesn't have a sunroof or leather
My tape adapter doesnt work with my itouch
I have no foglights
I have an EYESORE of a dent on the rear bumper(car came that way, will get fixed next time I go home for an extended amount of time)
Have some annoying scratches on the front(car came that way)
My trunk tries to kill me if I just open it and dont make sure its stopped
The speakers sound VERY distorted when cranked and both treble and bass are at its maximum level
The steering wheel looks too much like the last gen
I still love my car though lol

It's probably been said in this thread before but oh well...
Input Shaft Bearing. Cause I have to replace mine.
Question, I wonder how the nissan's saggy @$$ look when there's a driver in the car... Maybe it's even?

1. the Sunroof stopped working.
2. there is a hole in the exhaust so people keep asking me did i do something to the muffler ( aftermarket) b/c is sound real deep.
3. No heated seats in this one.
4. 236k and its starting to come to the point where im starting to think if i really want to fix it this time .
5 the other 5 or 6 things that needs to be fixed on it under the hood and wheel wells
but i still love my car when she running right or just running period... dont tell her i said this she is sensitive...lol
