1999 Nissan Maxima

I HAVE A 99 NISSAN MAXIMA SE AND I WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS WEBSITE BEFORE PURCHASING. AFTER READING THE MULTIPLE AND CONSISTENT COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE FLASHING "AIRBAG" AND "CHECK ENGINE SOON" LIGHTS, I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. THE DEFECTS REPORTED ARE THE SAME ON EACH INDIVIDUAL 99 MAXIMA LISTED. MY VEHICLE HAS 90,000 MILES ON IT, NO WRECKS, REGULAR MAINTANENCE AS RECOMMENDED AND HAVE SPENT WAY TOO MUCH MONEY ON REPAIRS FOR SENSORS, CYLINDER FAILURE AND NOW THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION! THE SERVICE FOLKS WANT $600.00 TO FIX THAT. I HAVE READ THE TECHNICAL NOTICES THAT WENT OUT AND OBVIOUSLY THE DEFECTS WERE NOT CORRECTED ON THE CARS WHOSE OWNERS ARE FILING THE COMPLAINTS NOW. I ALSO HAVE A 1993 MAXIMA WITH 217,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE NOW SPENT MORE MONEY IN REPAIRS ON THE 1999 THAT I HAVE HAD FOR 2 YEARS THAN I EVER DID ON THE 1993 IN THE ENTIRE 13 YEARS I HAVE OWNED IT! THE 1999 MODEL OBVIOUSLY HAS SOME SERIOUS FAILURES. AGAIN, REVIEW THE TECHNICAL NOTICES! NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND DO THE RIGHT THING. IF NOT A RECALL, THEN AT THE VERY LEAST TAKE CARE OF THE ONES HERE WHO HAVE TAKEN THEIR TIME, ENERGY AND MONEY AND FIX THE DEFECTS AT NISSAN'S EXPENSE. IF NOT THEN I'M WITH THE GUY WHOSE NEXT PURCHASE WILL BE A HONDA OR A TOYOTA! *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE ENTIRE AIR BAG SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED 5/30/2006 - THE BRAKES MADE NOISE IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE TCS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE A/C DIDN'T SEEM COLD ENOUGH TO THE CONSUMER.*NM

I HAVE A 1999 NISSAN MAXIMA AND HAVE HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. CHECKED THE CODE AND CAME BACK WITH CYLINDER 1 MISFIRE. DEALER WANTED $1,000 TO "TRY AND FIX THE PROBLEM". I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. AS I WAS GETTING ON THE FREEWAY LOST MOST POWER OUT OF THE CAR AND COULDN'T SPEED UP TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. FORTUNATELY NOBODY WAS HURT HOWEVER IF THE DEALER WOULD HAVE FIXED THEIR FAULTY PART I AM 100% POSITIVE THERE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHEN THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, THEY DID RESET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER, AND THEY SUGGESTED CHANGING THE IGNITION SWITCH.*AK

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
