1999 Nissan Maxima

I NEED TO REPLACE THE FOLLOWING FOR MY 99 NISSAN MAXIMA SO FAR:- (1) 2 OXYGEN SENSORS. (2) 1 ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (3) 6 IGNITION COILS AND 1 CONDENSER NOW, THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING. MY MAXIMA HAS ONLY 52,000 MILES. ALL THESE REPAIRS RIGHT AFTER 36,000 MILES. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL ALL THESE. HOWEVER, I KNOW NHTSA WON'T RECALL IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO INJURIES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.*AK

I HAVE A 99 NISSAN MAXIMA AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THIS WEEK. THE LOCAL GARAGE DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND FOUND CODES FOR KNOCK SENSOR AND IGNITION SIGNAL. THE LOCAL GARAGE WAS PUZZLED BECAUSE THEY'VE NEVER SEEN A KNOCK SENSOR FAIL BEFORE. CALLED 2 LOCAL NISSAN DEALERS AND BOTH SAY IT'S IGNITION COILS (AND THE KNOCK SENSOR WAS OK) AND UNLESS THE DIAGNOSTIC SAYS WHICH ONE WENT BAD I'D HAVE TO REPLACE THEM ALL FOR $600 TO $800 BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND WONDER WHAT IT WOULD TAKE FOR A RECALL? *NLM

I AM EXPERIENCING AN IGNITION COIL MISFIRE. THE TECHNICIAN, NOT NISSAN, INDICATES NISSAN HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS AND FROM READING COMPLAINTS, I SEE THERE ARE SOME LISTED. WHILE I REALIZE THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, IT IS AN ISSUE FOR ME PERSONALLY BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS NOT CAUSED BY ME BUT IS RATHER A NISSAN MANUFACTURING PROBLEMS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND PAID FOR BY NISSAN. I HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH MY MAXIMA AND WOULD LIKE TO STAY WITH NISSAN BUT IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT, I DON'T BELIEVE I'LL STAY WITH NISSAN WHEN I TRADE VEHICLES. *LA

RECENTLY, ONE IGNITION COIL FAILED. MY NISSAN DEALER TOLD ME THAT SINCE ONE FAILED, ALL OF THEM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WOULD PROBABLY ALL FAIL SOON AFTER THE FIRST ONE FAILED. IF DEALERS CAN'T KEEP REPLACEMENT IGNITION COILS IN STOCK BECAUSE SO MANY OF THEM ARE FAILING ON THE MAXIMA, THEN SHOULDN'T IT BE A RECALL. IT COST ME OVER $800 TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. ALSO, IF I PRESS THE UNLOCK BUTTON TOO MANY TIMES ON MY WIRELESS KEY REMOTE, THE WINDOWS ROLL DOWN PARTIALLY. DOES ANYONE ELSE THINK THAT'S AN ODD AND ANNOYING THING THAT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. HELLO, RECALL! *LA

DEFECTIVE IGNITION COILS. WHEN I BOUGHT MY 99 MAXIMA THE DEALER SUPPOSEDLY "FIXED" THE PROBLEM. BY NOT EVEN A WEEK AFTER I HAD THE CAR THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND RESET THE COMPUTER. THIS WENT ON ABOUT 3-4 TIMES UNTIL THE WARRANTY WAS UP, THEN THEY FOUND THAT THE #6 IGNITION COIL WAS BAD. AFTER THAT WAS REPLACED, A MONTH DID NOT GO BY BEFORE THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN. THIS TIME THE #4 IGNITION COIL WAS BAD. AFTER GETTING THAT ONE REPLACED, LITERALLY NOT EVEN 5 HRS WENT BY BEFORE THE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN...I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER YET. BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM...I SPEND OVER $200 EACH TIME I HAVE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *JB
