I would hope it's always had spark plugs!
#1682 of 4048 Cold air problem in 04 Maxima by 4score Jan 06, 2004 (10:52 am)
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.
#1683 of 4048 another recall by bdlfe Jan 07, 2004 (12:33 am)
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.
#1684 of 4048 1992 maxima sputtering by stroz1 Jan 07, 2004 (7:57 am)
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
#1686 of 4048 2004 Maxima SL rattles by ucsftor Jan 07, 2004 (9:47 am)
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?
#1687 of 4048 Starter replacement by walter3rd Jan 07, 2004 (11:29 am)
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?
#1688 of 4048 Clutch issues by minimus Jan 07, 2004 (2:43 pm)
I wonder if someone can provide some information regarding clutch repairs.   I have a '96 Max SE with around 150K on it. Had the clutch replaced at 103K. Now I'm told that the slave cylinder has gone bad and that it has worn out the clutch so that I need both (around $1,100 at dealer, $700 at local garage) - ouch!   I am trying to understand the relationship between the slave cylinder and the clutch - how do they touch or otherwise interact that would cause a bad slave cylinder to ruin the clutch. Basically I want to hear some logic (or see a picture) that will ease my fears of being ripped off, or, hopefully, tell me that I am being ripped off and should just fix the slave cylinder.   Thanks in advance for any info!
