#364 of 681 2009 Maxima Problems by rkurlander Sep 13, 2008 (7:20 am)
I have a nice new shiny $35,000 Maxima with 800 miles sitting in the garage with a "check engine" light. This has been going on for three weeks with three trips to dealer service with no resolution. They run a bunch of checks, replace gas cap, re-set light, and a few days later the light is on again. At this point I have major buyers remorse. On Monday I'm going to contact Nissan and request a refund so I can buy a reliable car. Yes, I know, good luck with that.

Replying to: rkurlander (Sep 13, 2008 7:20 am) One of the things I wrote when I joined this blog was to look out for first year production vehicles from Nissan, I learned that lesson the hard way with my 04 Max. Good luck in trying to get Nissan to even consider helping you, their customer service sucks, much less will they work on a refund. I endured 3 years of shakes, rattles, and squeaks with Nissan customer service just telling me to take it in for service, I wish you better luck than me. Are you using high octane fuel? that may help, also change the brand of the gas and try out different ones. Run the car hard and blow out some deposits that may be affecting engine breathing and/or fuel flow. Again good luck, I hope it is in a nice color so that at least it looks good in your garage or driveway...

Replying to: out4cat (Sep 13, 2008 7:33 am) Yes, it's a very nice color. Perhaps I'll park it in driveway and use it as a $35,000 planter. Replies to this message: out4cat (Sep 13, 2008 8:37 am) out4cat (Sep 13, 2008 8:42 am)

(I would file a complaint with Nissan Customer Service because that dealer took your 100.00 bucks)   Yeah I'm giving them 2 weeks to send my money by mail then after that I'm filing a complaint with nissan.   How would I go about doing this? I've searched online and found nothing...anyone have a link?   For the guy with the $35000 planter, I would file a complaint with the better business bureau against that dealership!

Replying to: rkurlander (Sep 13, 2008 7:20 am) Have you asked them the code it is throwing out? Take it to Auto Zone today and have them plug it in and they will tell you what is up. They do not charge for the service.   What octane/brand of gas are you using?

Replying to: rkurlander (Sep 13, 2008 7:55 am) That is one expensive planter, I am sure that the problem will be solved, sorry it may take a few trips and research to get it done. I had a Pontiac and an Altima a few years ago on which the check-engine light would come on and by running the engine hard the light would turn off. Emissions is one big cause of check-engine lights coming on.

Replying to: carcass29 (Sep 13, 2008 8:06 am) You can file your complaint on-line via the Nissanusa.com website or by phone with their 800 number. Don't know how much good it will do. In the old days, Nissan would fire Managers for getting complaints, these days I think not. Either way, try it and see what happens.

Replying to: carcass29 (Sep 13, 2008 8:06 am) You should have paid by credit card. That way you could have protested the charge with your credit card company when they jerked you around.

Replying to: rkurlander (Sep 13, 2008 7:55 am) Hey you now have 2 of us asking you about the octane of the fuel you use, that may very well solve your problem. High octane runs hotter clears build up and reduces emissions just in case that is causing the light to come on. Amoco/BP 93 octane is what I recommend although I have heard of some gasolines with even higher octane ratings.
