#3632 of 4048 1999 suddenly stops while driving - dealer could not find any issue by forum Apr 04, 2007 (11:43 pm)
I have 1999 Nissan Maxima GLE.   During the last 1 month, the car stopped twice while driving or waiting in the traffic.   In the first occasion, the ABS light first got turned on. I turned off the car, and after a while, when I started it, I saw the ABS light going on again. Then after driving for about 15 minutes, I suddenly felt that the car did not have any driving power and I saw the airbag light got on. So, I pulled on the side of the road. Then I waited for about 15 minutes and then tried starting the car, it drove fine. I took to dealer next day and they said battery voltage was low. And they charged it and the ABS light was turned off. The dealer said, the car was otherwise in good shape and no repair is needed.   After about 15 days in the second occasion: after driving for about 20 minutes, I had to stop in long traffic in downtown and the car died again. I waited half an hour on the side of the road and the car started again. But, within 10 miles, the car again died while waiting in another traffic light. Interesting is that all the 4 lights could be turned on. But, the car would not start even after waiting for 30 min - when I tried to star it, all the dashboard lights would come on. Then I tried a jump start and the car ran fine and it is still running without any issue and I could not reproduce the failure again.   Next day, I checked battery/alternator at Autozone and they said charging system is fine. I also had a code check and that was clean too.   Then, I took my car again to the same dealer shop (no jump start was needed) and for the last 6 days it was at dealer shop; they drove it for more than 40 minutes for 2 days and could not figure out what is going on.   Service manager said, I could take the car back and if it dies next time, we can toe it there.   So, I really need the help from here as I dont want to get stranded in the middle of road.   Thanks for reading (the posting got long - I wanted to give as detail info as possible).   Ataur.

Does anyone know exactly where the PCV valve is located on the '05 Maxima? I believe it is on the rear valve cover, but I looked with a flashlight cannot locate it. Replies to this message: shadowfox777 (Apr 09, 2007 7:54 am)

Replying to: alexstore (Apr 01, 2007 9:30 am) No, the situation occurs when the car is on the level. It is an intermittent thing and not associated with sitting on an incline.

Replying to: ecd1974 (Apr 07, 2007 7:50 am) You got it. The PCV valve is on the rear valve cover. Its a PITA to get to. I haven't changed mine yet. I need to though, coming up on 40,000mi.

Replying to: supamax (Aug 21, 2005 9:37 am) I have a '97 Maxima also, with the SES light on. I've had it checked and been told it was the 1st bank 2nd O2 sensor. I've also been told that if this one is bad, then there's a posibility that those in the second bank could be bad also but the computer just shows the first error. I haven't fixed mine (it's hard to get to) but I was forced to remove my center muffler. Now my SES light only comes on if I drive further than 400 miles and then it goes back off after a couple of days. I'll get around to fixing this eventually but it doesn't seem to be affecting the cars performance at all.

Replying to: stetson1 (Feb 16, 2007 11:50 am) I have a 97 maxima that acts like this on cold mornings, especially when I'm parked on an incline (car is not flat). I have absolutely no idea why, but just hitting the accelerator a little and reving it up to 3k RPM's usually gets it going. I've used the FI cleaner you add to your gas tank before and it seemed to work for the most part...either that or it was just warmer the next day.

#3638 of 4048 Power Windows by steevo Apr 10, 2007 (9:16 am)
2005 Maxima. The windows go down if you hold down the unlock button. Is there a way to disable this feature? tia!

Replying to: perna (Mar 27, 2007 10:33 am) Do you have an idea how to check the transmission fluid on the Maxima? I cant seem to find a dip stick of some sort. Replies to this message: shadowfox777 (Apr 12, 2007 11:53 am)
#3640 of 4048 Re: sqeaking noise in front end [the1426] by caugn Apr 12, 2007 (10:40 am)
Replying to: the1426 (Apr 01, 2007 12:12 pm) You might also check to make sure the seals on the front struts aren't blown. If they are you are running on the springs only, which could cause the squeak.

Replying to: jorozco (Apr 11, 2007 9:27 pm) There's a transmission dipstick to the right of the engine cover. The dipstick may have a lock you have to disengage but the posted link below should help you. Just go to pg 212 of the pdf.   2004 Maxima Owners Manual
