Sadly this is what happens when a good engineered auto gets
a going over to cut
costs. It happened when Nissan lost control of their
company. The 98&99 Maximas
were the last really quality Maxs.

I have an ongoing problem with rotors. Rotors were warped at about 25K
miles. Dealer turned them. They warped again aroung 45K. Instead of
turning them again, I decided to replace them. Rotors glazed at 50K (I
have been driving in the mountains for 17 years and never had a glazed
rotor on any of my cars except 2K maxima. So I can claim I know how to
drive in mountains without riding the brakes. My other car 1994 Acura
Integra has 145K miles on it and is still on original rotors that have
never been turned). Rotors now need to be turned again and I am sure
this is not the end of rotor problem.
I have had oxygen sensor, coils, stereo and a window switch replaced so
far. At 50K dealer says belts are dry and need to be replaced. I have
had significantly more problems in 5 years of owning 2K Maxima than in
11 years of owning Acura.
All of my other cars have been Honda/Acura so far. I am planning to dump
Maxima later this year and go back to Acura. To add insult to injury,
this car has not even held up much value, so I do not expect to get much
money for it either. My 6 year old Acura Integra sedan sold in 2000 for
more than what I can get from this Maxima now even though the original
price for this car was $9000 more than the Acura.
