The lawsuit alleges that Nissan was aware that the paint on its model year 2000-2003 Maximas and model year 2001-2003 Nissan Sentras was of an inferior quality, which allows the paint to chip easily, but failed to disclose this fact to car buyers. Instead, Nissan deceptively claimed in its brochures that its paint was proven, through Nissan's "diamond" or "salt-spray" testing process, to resist chipping and have a superior durability.

The center consoles in these cars have a deep crevice that needs a good detail brush to sweep out. Also, use a decent plastic polish or AIO on the radio face.
