Question by ryenzero: 2004 Nissan Maxima front end shimmy / Lemon Law Claims?
This question and post applies to anyone who either owns or has driven a 2004 or newer Nissan Maxima with similar problems as I’ve reported:
Has anyone experienced a front end shimmy in a 2004 or newer Nissan Maxima? I have put my 2004 Nissan Maxima in the shop numerous times for the front end shimmy and its one thing after another, as far as excuses and repairs go. New Tires, Struts, Rims, Bearings, still there is a shimmy.
I am currently suing the dealership and Nissan Corp. for failure to repair, dealer fraud, deception, and am also pursuing a class action suit against Nissan due to several other reported cases of this exact problem. Have any owners gone through with a Lemon Law Suit or a Magnusson Moss Warranty Protection Act claim?
Has anyone dealt with such/similar issues?
I have replaced the tires 3 times in 9 months. I’ve had the struts replaced, new brakes, replaced slightly bent rim. The car has been in for repair 5 times, same problem. The steering wheel shakes violently, at times it gives me a headache. I have done some investigating and the dealership knew of the problem at the time of sale; previous owners traded the car in for this reason. A salesman informed me it was a tire issue and that it would be fixed. Such detailed findings lead me to the filing of a consumer fraud case (deception and fraud).
Nissans built within a certain date were poorly engineered, primarily the first breed of 6th gens. Several Lemon Law claims have been filed with this exact this issue.
Why should a car owner have to get his/her tires balanced every 4-5k miles? A carl, especially a Certified Pre-Owned ,000 Nissan should not have these problems, period!
By the way, I tried contacting the owner of the dealer on several occasions. He tried to have me trade the vehicle in on another, which I tried to do. When I went to trade the car in, they wanted money saying that the car’s trade in value (Galves Value) was less than I owed. At that time, I only owned the car for less than 3 months. Why should I have to take the loss?
