Three problems related to engine have been reported for the 1999 Nissan Maxima. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Engine problem

Failure Date: 06/29/2006

Car began idling very rough when stopped, almost to the point of shaking back and forth. When attempting to accelerate, car seemed like it had almost no power. Same thing happened when climbing hills, to the point where car would almost stop and put driver in danger of being struck from behind by traffic in the same lane. Had to stop driving car and bring to dealer.

2 Engine problem

Failure Date: 02/08/2004

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.

3 Engine problem

Failure Date: 11/21/2003

I had to replace one coil on my 99 Maxima earlier this year. This past Friday I had to replace the other 5. From my research on the internet, this is a frequent problem, yet no recall to date.
