general problems of the 1998 Nissan Maxima

Tl- the contact owns a 1998 Nissan Maxima. The contact stated that while driving approximately 10 mph, smoke started to emit from the engine compartment. The vehicle was merged over to the side of the road where the contact noticed the presence of fire coming from the alternator. The contact was able to extinguish the fire. The vehicle was towed to the contact¿s residence. The dealer was contacted and indicated that the vehicle was not included in recall NHTSA campaign id number: 02v171000 (electrical system). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000. Pam.

I wish to receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket cost of repair and installation of new parts for the vehicle¿s alternator having caught on fire. On or about November 24, 2014, my request was submitted to Nissan of north per Nissan manufacturer¿s recall instructions. The recall issued in 2001 was still open on the vehicle by VIN number. All pertinent documentation was provided by fax and phone to the Nissan safety complaint unit. As instructed by the investigating agent, the vehicle was taken to the local Nissan dealership for inspection and reimbursement. It has been five weeks (since December 23, 2014) of delay and broken promises, and I have not yet received reimbursement. (the vehicle failed to start and began to smoke; after being towed to the garage, the alternator caught fire as an attempt was made to start the vehicle. ) please provide reimbursement of repair costs.

I failed state inspection because my engine core support is rotted. I am not the only person here who has complained about this happening in this model car.
