I had a new born in October 2006. I purchased a brand new britax decathlon car seat and have had a lot of trouble putting it onto my 2004 Nissan Maxima. The back seat latch anchor (the one behind the front passenger seat and close to the middle) is very hard to reach because it was hidden in between two seat belt buckles. It is not possible to be latched on.

Maxima

  • miles
My 2004 Nissan Maxima has been experiencing loud rattling noise when driving and severe shaking of the steering when applying the brakes. In April 2006 I took the car to the dealership. They stated the struts and suspension needed to be placed and insisted I pay for it. The struts had been replaced in the car previously in April of 2005 along with defective rotors. They also suggested the belts be replaced because they were cracking. I have not had the car two years yet, but parts on this vehicle continue to malfunction exhibiting all signs of defective manufacturing. Additionally I replaced two of the originally tires (Goodyear rsa 18") at 12K and 20K miles for tears in the sidewalls. I have reviewed the other complaints on file for this vehicle from other owners and unfortunately I share the same problems with my Maxima.
