NHTSA Complaint #10192494 — 2001 NISSAN MAXIMA

WE OWN A 2001 MAXIMA, PURCHASED NEW, AND LIKE LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE ON THIS WEB SITE, HAVE EXPERIENCED ROTOR PROBLEMS. WE HAVE HAD THEM RESURFACED AND REPLACED AT LEAST 4 TIMES SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR. THE CAR ONLY HAS 64,000 MILES ON IT, NOT DRIVEN ON DIRT ROADS, I DO NOT JAM ON THE BRAKES, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, AND WE HAVE OWNED OTHER VEHICLES AND NEVER HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THEM. WE ALSO OWN A 1999 CHEVROLET PICKUP WITH MORE MILES ON IT, AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM ON IT. NISSAN SAYS, LIKE IT TELLS EVERYONE ELSE, THAT IT IS THE DRIVER'S HABITS WHICH IS UNTRUE, AND THEY JUST DO NOT WANT TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT. WE ARE TIRED OF HAVING TO FIX THESE BRAKES, AND SPEND UNNECESSARY MONEY EVERY 12,000-15,000 MILES. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS NOT SAFE WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO STOP THE CAR, AS IT VIBRATES IN THE STEERING WHEEL TERRIBLY, AND FEELS LIKE YOU COULD VERY EASILY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. NEXT TIME WE PURCHASE A CAR, WE WOULD PROBABLY NOT CONSIDER A NISSAN BECAUSE OF THIS. *TR
