“We purchased a 1995 Nissan Maxima gle in 1997 from peruzzi Nissan in fairless hills, pa. For an amount equal to about eight (8) percent of the final sale price, we also purchased an 84-month or 100,000 mile Nissan security+plus vehical protection plan.

It turns out that Nissan's plan starts on the date the vehicle first left the showroom, a.k.a. The original in-service date (which in our case was june, 1994), not the date on which a consumer buys the same car as used. …”

Having done quite a bit of research looking for customer complaints, it looks as though everyone else with a 95 Maxima has the same defects. The spring problem with the suspension definitely should have been recalled as was the spring problem with the sentra. …”
