The sounds the dash makes while driving.
Water leaks into the trunk.
The clock works when it wants to.
It's an automatic.
No gear selection indication in the instrument cluster, (the letters are there, i dunno why nissan didn't do it...)

Fuel door latch

Oh and I forgot to mention fuel door latch is broken.(wouldn't even know how to fix the damn thing).

Would agree that turn radius is extremely horrible.

Love the looks of the leather seats but hate the sliding from side to side in turns...LOL (Guess it would be worst if it had more turning radius...)

Since I got the car (bought it used) I can't tell if the climate control butons are suppose to be back lit like the radio ones...

Radio display horrible as well in the sunlight.. can't see a thing...

1. Turn radius
2. Road noise
3. Love the cloth seats except for the static charge it builds up on cold dry days
4. Intake manifold has to come off to change the back 3 plugs
5. Tranmission shifts soft when cold, seems to be typical of 5/5.5 gens

where the rubber meets the road

So what you do is go buy some of those ribbed condoms or some of those regular galoshs and cut out a piece to fit the pedal, contact glue it in place and voilla! Problem solved! Next question plez!

1. Slow and sometimes jerky ATF gear changes.
2. My passenger seat vibrates slightly when nobody is sitting in it, and seems to bounce off the seatbelt area and makes a really annoying noise. (Has anyone else had this problem? I've never seen anyone talk about it.)

Other than that, I love my car.

My complaints about my 06 Max SE:

1.) Turning Radius
2.) The huge gap at the front tires
3.) The Shimmy Problem

On the 2001 AE, the fact that the temp control **** and radio volume **** are the same size and real close together. I keep freezing myself out when I want to turn the radio down.
I'm sure I'll get used to it..I've only had the car a couple days.

The rear beam + coilovers absolutely blows on rough pavement

Top end sucks; IM needs more plenum volume

Engine note kinda sucks

Front suspension geometry really sucks when you lower the car

although the antenna cable is hooked up on both ends, reception started sucking a few weeks ago. plus the broken motor mounts, weak brakes, tired suspension, and weathered paint. nothing a little TLC (and $) can't fix. turn radius sucks too, and my clutch pedal makes this click/pop sound even after i installed that bushing i found on the floor of my parts car...
