| Automatic transmission is not able to shift into reverse. apparently this is a very common problem with nissan maxima's manufactured between 1989-1994. many maxima owners have had their transmissions fail and have had to replace the transmission more than once in their nissan maxima's.*ak | |||

| The window problem i have seems to be with a lot of this car model. each time i had a window fixed, it cost me $220.00. it seems to me that this is a defect that nissan should be paying for. other than this problem my other with the transmisson just started and i do have 100,000 miles on the car. i would expect some things to go wrong. the window problem started about 5 years ago. also when i took my car in to have the first window repaired i asked about my radio antenna not going up and down anymore. it seems that this is the same kind of problem i had with my windows. the operating mechanism is made out of plastic. motor runs but nothing goes up and down. | |||
