I just purchased a new 04 Maxima 3.5 SL, Love the car but I also seem to have a cold air draft down low on the drivers side. I had an 01 Maxima GLE that never had the problem. The car seems to take forever to warm up inside. My heated seats just went out today. I haven't the fuses yet, but it worked for a few days and then nothing. In the three years I owned the 01 GLE I never once had a maint. problem, now all of a sudden my 04 has two. I wonder if it has something to do with the car being made in the USA. I sure hope not. Any input, let me know your input.

| I own a 2000 maxima, My check engine light came on a few weeks ago, so I went to a trusted friend who works for advance auto parts. He hooked up a computer to it it read #2 cylinder misfiring. He proceeded to clear the check engine light for me and advised on a new coil pack for that cylinder. I went to the dealer and picked one up and replaced it, and it still had the problem. I am at my wits end with it and is driving me nuts, will someone please help. | |
| How long since it's had spark plugs? | |

I would hope it's always had spark plugs! |

| I just bought a used 04 Maxima three days ago and it seems as though I am not the only one experiencing problems with the climate control. I have only driven the car once - about 25 miles home from the dealership. When we arrived home I was stopped in the driveway to set the garage door opener. The vents by our feet started to blow out cold air even though the temperature was set to 80 degrees. My wife says the problem has repeated itself when she is stopped at a light. Does anyone have any insights? Since the car is brand new to us it definitely could be user error but it seems like a very strange phenomenon. | |

Did anyone get a notice for the new recall? I haven't received anything. This is recall 03V455000, for the crank position sensors to be replaced and notifications should have been sent 12/03 since the recall was first issued 11/04/03. 630,000 units may be affected. How many model years is that?? Damn it, how did I get a German car in disguise. |

| I have a problem with my nissan maxima, and can't find anyone that can fix it. When you are driving along it will sputter, like it's not getting fuel or something like that, it will do it once or maybe several times then runs fine, changed fuel filter,pump,computer,ECCS, still the same problem, one shop changed all the grounds. Same shop wants me to rent a wire from nissan, which the nissan shop knows nothing about, it's $400 for 3 days or $1200 to buy it. Anyone have any ideas. | |

hmmttj, I also have 2K Max with same problem. Mine had #4 misfired. I found out by went to AutoZone and they diagnosted for free. The code is P1320. Found out there is a TSB for it. NTB01-059. http://maxima.theowensfamily.com/tsb/NTB01-059.pdf Went to a Nissan dealer and ask to get it fixed. They said they had to replace all 6 ignigtion coils !!!!!. I said just replace the #4. During the meantime I called Nissan 1-800-NISSAN1 and told them that they have a TSB out which means NISSAN HAS A PROBLEM with it. They need to fix this for me. They said they will open a file and will contact the dealer. Well, the dealer called me and said mine was done and I had to paid $380 for replace #4. I had to get my car so I paid for it. Took it and the problem got fixed. Nissan has not called the dealer yet!!!!. What I suggest is you call 800-NISSAN1 and complaint with them about that and insist on getting them pay it for you. DON'T BRING IT TO THE DEALER FIRST. That was my mistake. Get Nissan to agree to pay for it first then take it to the dealer. Enough people complaint about it, Nissan will do a recall. Good luck |

| I bought this car in august and I love it. However I have been plagued with rattles. The first one is more subtle and comes from the back of the car. The dealer told me there was a service bulletin about it. I have a second more pronounced rattle that comes from underneath the sunroof. They will remove the lining and try to find the problem. I am the type to keep my car for a long time but I am a bit afraid that quality issues with this model will be a problem. Anyone with the same problem? | |

Just had my 00 Max in for an oil change and the dealership told me i need the starter replaced for $340. This really pisses me off because if I wanted maintenance problems like this, I would have bought a Chevy. I just had it in 5k miles ago for its 60k service, and at about 50k miles, i had to replace all the ignition coils. I love my Max, but I really only expected to have to do routine maintenance, up to at least 100k miles. Anyone else have a starter problem? |
