I have an 2004 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SE and I have notice when the weather starts to turn cold the Cd player skips unbareably. When the car warmed up, it usually would start playing fine but now it doesn't. I have brand new cd's and it still skips. I have cleaned it and it still skips. I even tried calling the dealership to see if there was ever a recall on the cd player for the issue and they told me no and of course its not under warranty any more so that gave me the option of buying and replacing it for 430.00! So if you have had the similar problem or have fixed yours PLEASE let me know i'm a college student and 400.00 don't come easy!

| Need help from the group on this surprising diagnosis. The car has 94,000 miles on it and I purchased it used from a Toyota dealer about 1 year ago. The service engine light came on after about 6 months of driving it but the car was running fine otherwise. I took it to the local Nissan dealer for diagnosis and they say both catalyst converters and 2 oxygen sensors are gone for a total of $2865. Is this normal for the 2001 Maxima SE? What causes this ...hard driving? Also, when I asked the Nissan dealer if they could just replace the 2 oxygen sensors and then clear the codes they said...well there are really 4 oxygen sensors that we would have to replace (the number went form 2 to 4 ?? I don't get it). Please help if you can. | |

Replying to: dx1hf (Jan 12, 2009 6:27 am) The Check engine light comes on very easily on these. Disconnect the battery cable and leave it overnight. It will reset the computer. Filling the gas on a hot day and not closing the cap properly can also cause this. |

I just bought a used 2007 Maxima SL with 76,500 miles. The oil has been changed every 7500 miles per manual. Tires were just changed at 71K. The owner tells me the brakes were done at 50K. The air filter was changed per factory specs. My question is does the CVT fluid and radiator coolant need to be changed anytime soon. Also, does any other maintenance need to be done. Thanks for any reply.

I seem to have the faulty ignition coil problem with my 2001 Maxima. My mechanic said that I should bring it to Nissan since they can figure out which coil it is so I would not have to replace all 6. I called Nissan and they said I should replace all 6 because if one is bad they are all going to go bad, etc. After some internet research and fidning this thread I see this is an ongoing problem with this car. My husband wants to change the coils himself but I am not sure which ones to purchase or where to purchase them from? Can anyone help me with this? Also, is there a step by step guide he could follow? He is pretty good with cars but has never done a coil replacement before. Thanks for any help you could give me! |

Try rockauto.com, they have the parts you are looking for. The coil cost from $52 to $66 each depending on if it is the front or rear coil(3 front, 3 rear). I have ordered several items for my 07 Prius, and I am now looking to order other parts for my 07 Maxima. Their prices are very reasonable.
