I've had the same noise on my 2017 S since around 2019. I gave up trying to get it fixed a long time ago and it doesn't seem to affect reliability or drivability. Almost seven years in the car is...

On the subject of road noise, my 2017 S seems to have gotten quieter after switching to Continental Pure Contact LS from the stock Continental Pro Contact Tx.

Mainstream sedans have gotten very, very good in the last couple of years. Accord 2.0 EX-L costs little over $30k and gives you practically everything, and more, in some respects, that a TLX would...

I've been in a rental Rogue for the past couple of weeks. Easy car to live with, but I really miss my Maxima whenever I'm on the highway. I don't feel comfortable going over 75 in this thing.

I like my car, but I'm not prepared to deal with transmission issues post warranty. My hunch is that a breakdown within three years after the first five is extremely likely. A rough calculation...

It's obviously ****ed. Would be curious to know how much they charge you for the replacement.

The Avalon is definitely not underpowered. It's only a few tenths of a second behind the Maxima, and it's a larger vehicle.

You should also add that if you're going to keep your Nissan, be...

Thank you. The lesson I draw from this is, don't have this car without a warranty.

Question for the OP: do you know how long the warranty is on the replacement transmission? I read somewhere that they only cover it for a year.

If that happened to me and I was out of warranty, I would decline service and get rid of the car like a hot potato. Frankly, this is scandalous: there is nothing ostensibly wrong with the...

It looks like they've given people a reason to get the TLX instead of the Accord again. I wonder how much it costs with the V6 turbo, especially compared with the Stinger GT.

As for the Maxima,...

If I were you, I'd get a cheap reliable car (new or used). Also consider things like insurance costs, gas, and routine maintenance not covered by warranty. The Maxima is quite costly to keep even...

For many people (including me), the suspension in the SR is a negative because it makes the ride too harsh. Test drive the SR thoroughly and make sure you are ok with the ride comfort.

How much did it cost to replace the valve body? I'm still leaning toward trading my 17 when it hits 5 years / 60k.
