#1685 of 4046 re: 2000 maxima #2 cylinder misfiring, help!!!!? by htn123 Jan 07, 2004 (8:22 am)
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 4046 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 4046 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 4046 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!

#1690 of 4046 Clutch slave cylinder by alcan Jan 08, 2004 (3:27 am)
The clutch master cylinder supplies pressurized fluid to the slave cylinder when the clutch pedal is depressed. The slave cylinder then operates the release (throwout) bearing which releases the clutch, disconnecting the engine from the transaxle. If the slave cylinder is defective it can prevent the clutch from fully applying, allowing clutch slippage which will wear the clutch prematurely.   Check here, scroll down to "diaphragm clutch": http://auto.howstuffworks.com/clutch2.htm
#1691 of 4046 Noise in Front End by soundzone Jan 08, 2004 (5:23 am)
I have a 2003 Maxima GLE which I bought used with 15,000 miles. I love the car but have one problem. There is a small popping noise when I go over bumps. The problem has never gotten any worse or better. The CV joints and boots seem to be ok. Could this be a shock absorber problem? It doesn't seem to effect anything, just annoying as the car is super quiet.   John

alcan,   Thanks for the info! Enjoyed the link!   Darn, I wish we had fixed that slave cylinder at the first sign of slippage!!!   minimus
#1693 of 4046 rattles in '04 maxima by fuhr Jan 08, 2004 (9:21 am)

#1694 of 4046 04 Maxima pricing by p100 Jan 09, 2004 (10:11 pm)
I saw a new 04 SE Maxima advertised for $ 24,999. I assume that this must be a base model without options. Even so, this appears to be a good price considering that there is no rebate on the vehicle and the MSRP is about $ 28K even on the base SE model. However, I am discouraged by the quality control issues with the 04 models. Maybe it is a good idea to wait a year until they work out the bugs out of this vehicle.
