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.
#373 of 681 Dilema by out4cat Sep 13, 2008 (10:48 am)
Ok so everyone or almost everyone has some criticism of Nissan for the design of the outgoing 2008 Maxima body style, and I am sure we remember the controversial comments made about the front grill when the car hit the streets in 2004 (looked like bugs bunny's front teeth in the middle of the grille, also reminiscent of prior Oldsmobile models of the 80s). Now the new style comes out and the comments are about how much better looking it is than the older model. Also on this blog, there are a few praising comments about the Acura TL and how wonderful it is and better than the Maxima, I already wrote that the two cars are not fairly compared. So I googled images of the 2009 Acura TL and guess what? the body style and rear end are similar to the outgoing Maxima design, now I am confused. Oh and look at the front end of the new TL, Acura obviously did not learn from the 04 Maxima woes, that is 1 ugly grille. My dilema is that I don't dislike and actually like the outgoing body style of the Maxima and Acura is the one to offer the similar one, even has the strips over the roof line and buttress-like C-pillar. Add to that the controversial front grill and side window design and I think I can get a body style that similarly resembles the outgoing Maxima. And the other question is, what is Acura doing? It is a passe Maxima design, the Avalon also resembles it but I am sure Toyota is working on a new body style, and Acura is just now getting into it, wow what is the world of car design coming to? Acura as always, has a killer interior that far outdoes the outgoing and new Maxima in every way. maybe it is time to switch, you guys take a look and let me know if you see the resemblance that I see. Thanks..

Replying to: rkurlander (Sep 13, 2008 7:20 am) If they continue to not fix your car, you car could qualify for the lemon law ruling:   While the details vary by state, here's a common ruling: New Motor Vehicles Warranties Act provides specifically that a defective car may qualify under the lemon law if: 1) the car was presented for repair four or more times for the same defect and the defect continues; OR 2) the car was out of service for warranty related repairs for a total of 20 or more days during any one year period of the warranty.   Even high end cars have a fair percentage of returns....when I was searching for a used 07 or 08 Lexus, I found over a dozen "lemon law" buy-backs from Lexus with most dealing with annoying rattles and shakes to the cars that the Lexus owners could not tolerate. So, Lexus bought the car back and it was being re-sold by a 3rd party.   Good luck and sorry to hear about your unfortunate luck with the car!
