Consumer Description

ABOUT MARCH 1995 THE SPOILER BEGAN TO LOOSEN. ON 3/24/98 TINY'S BODY SHOP TO REPAIR THE LOOSE SPOILER. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING TO SCREW THE SPOILER INTO. ON 5/30/2000 I GOT AN APPRAISAL FROM VIKING OLDSMOBILE IN ROCHESTER MN (507-288-1811) FOR REPAIR OF THE SPOILER. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD ALREADY REPLACED HALF A DOZEN SPOILERS ON THIS SAME MAKE OF CAR. THEY GAVE ME A PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE OF $541.74 BUT STATED THAT IT MAY BE MORE IF RUST WAS INVOLVED. THEY SENT THE ESTIMATE AND REPORT TO NISSAN. THE NISSAN COMPANY REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE NEW SPOILELR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A RECALL SITUATION. MY SPOILER IS NOW COMPLETELY LOOSE ON BOTH ENDS. ONLY THE MIDDLE CONNECTION IS INTACT. IT COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND EVEN DEATH IF THIS SHOULD FLY OFF ON THE ROAD. I KNOW MOST OTHER NISSAN MAXIMAS MUST BE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN SHOULD STAND BEHIND IT. I DO NOT INTEND TO TRADE THE CAR IN ON A NEW ONE. I WISH TO DRIVE IT LONGER AND THEN GIVE IT TO MY SON. I AM AFRAID OF AN ACCIDENT AS THINGS STAND NOW. THE CAR IS BEGINNING TO RUST AT THE SPOILER CONNECTIONS AND I AM AFRAID OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THERE ARE NO OTHER CARS WITH SPOILERS THAT I CAN SEE THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *AK0101
