1999 Nissan Maxima

MY 1999 NISSAN MAXIMA SE HAD ONE COIL REPLACED IN 2003. THIS YEAR I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AS WELL. MY AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES CONSTANTLY AND MY CLOCK GOES IN AND OUT OF SERVICE. MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR RUNS VERY ROUGH. WHEN IDLING IT SOUNDS LIKE A CHOKING PIECE OF CRAP AND ON THE HILLS THE LIGHT FLASHES. I WAS TOLD I HAD A BAD COIL AGAIN AND TOOK IT FOR A DIAGNOSTIC THAT SAID MULTIPLE MISFIRE AND REPLACE ALL SIX COILS. I HAVE READ COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT ABOUT COILS. WHEN I BOUGHT MY MAXIMA NEW I THOUGHT I WAS BUYING A CAR THAT WAS RELIABLE BUT I AM HEARING THAT COIL REPLACEMENT IS THE RULE NOT THE EXCEPTION. I ALSO HAVE REAR BRAKE NOISE....SINCE YEAR THREE OF OWNING THE CAR. I HAVE REPLACED TWO SETS OF BRAKE PADS AS WELL. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 3 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED, BUCKED, AND NEARLY STALLED. THIS WAS ACCOMPANIED BY VIBRATION IN THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE IGNITION COIL WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL AND THAT THE CALIPERS ON BOTH REAR BRAKES HAD LOCKED UP ON THE WHEEL. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS MADE ON THE CALIPERS.

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

AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THE BRAKES SQUEALED. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THE DEALER PERFORMED A FACTORY INSPECTION. LATER, THE BRAKES FAILED, AND THE RIGHT REAR CALIPERS WERE REPLACED. AFTER A 60,000 MILES FRONT PADS, ROTORS, AND CALIPERS HAD TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE MADE A HUMMING NOISE FROM THE LEFT BRAKE. *AK CONSUMER STATES AFTER VEHICLE WARMED UP BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR, PUMPS BRAKE PEDAL COMES BACK. REPLACED REAR BRAKES AND REPLACE ROTORS. *BF *NM
