Consumer Description

MY 2000 NISSAN MAXIMA HAD LESS 24,000 MILES WHEN MY MECHANIC RECENTLY REPORTED IT NEEDED A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER. HE SAID THIS DOESN'T OCCUR UNTIL ABOUT 80,000 MILES AND IT WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP FROM THE MANUFACTURER. WITHOUT THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR MY CAR WILL NOT PASS THE SMOG TEST. NISSAN CORPORATION REFUSES REPAIR ASSISTANCE BECAUSE OF THE END OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD EVEN THOUGH THE MILEAGE IS FAR BELOW THAT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS A DEFECT IN NISSAN'S MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THAT THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. *NM
