general problems of the 2000 Nissan Maxima

Car was in motion when it lost power and stalled the dashboard has no light and battery is charged than when driving the car it drains and shuts off .

The car started accelerating and then died while driving down the road. Had to exit off the road fast as the car coasted down to prevent other cars from hitting the car. In danger of other cars running over car while our car malfunction. Took car to shop and was told a 2 dollar o-ring on the auto control valve had allowed air leakage and this in turned caused failure of the ecm electron control module. Both auto control valve and ecm needs replacing where the car can be safely driven. The fact of this failure did not bring in the engine service light till after the event and fact it will cost over $2000 dollars to repair a car that is not work much more $3000 are just facts. Nissan needs to at least send out to their customers that owns of this model and make could have this condition than can happen and exist and cause erratic behavior of the car if not check by Nissan. A $2 dollar part causing a $2000 dollar repair.

Car ran rough and stalled, took it to shop and they had to replace all the coils at a cost of almost $1,000. This happened at 65,000 miles. Looking on this site there are 115 complaints about this problem. My question is how many people need to report a potential dangerous problem before it gets a recall?.

Service engine light came on. Took to precision tune who diagnosed the problem to be the 6 coils which needed to all be replaced per a Nissan tech report stating they were defective. $1300. 00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gp.

Since I owned this car I have multiple issues. The check engine light is constantly on. I took the vehicle to a mechanic and I was told the code was indicating the coils were bad. Also, I have experienced the slip and tcs light come on. The vehicle shakes and loses power. On top that I can't get the car to pass inspection. My radio also has a electrical problems, it went dark. I feel we should all file a class action law suit.

Awareness needs to be made on the 2000 Nissan Maxima, the car will have a ecu breakdown resulting in the car to shut off at any given time. A trouble code of p0505 will trigger off in the car resulting in an insane repair cost. Numerous cars are affected and Nissan refuses to perform a recall on this car. Its a matter of time before one of these Nissans shuts down at the wrong time resulting in someone's death. There are pages upon pages of posts with this problem.

My 2000 Nissan Maxima has been experience problems with the "check engine soon" light. A dealer hooked it up to a computer and indicated a code of p1320 - faulty coil - misfire on cylinder 4. He told me in his experience with 2000 Nissan Maximas he can replace one, but customer will be back because the coils are defective and other will eventually go. I feel since they are defective cylinders, Nissan should recall the parts.

I have a 2000 Nissan Maxima and the slip / tcs / check engine light turns on then it starts to shake n looses power. Engine light blinks at times. . I replace all coils and spark plus with dealer and they tell me the I need to replace the engine coli harness which is around $1,000. . They say that these cars have the same problems. . I have in hand of many stories of people with the same problem. And in all the stories everyone is mad because there is no recall on this problem?.

I am contacting the NHTSA in regards to TSB # ntb01-076b affecting 2000-2001 Maximas involving the egi harness breakage. I have attempted to contact Nissan's home division via e-mail on 3 seperate occasions with no response/reply back from their headquarters. This problem was identified on my vehicle last year causing the vehicle to overheat under normal conditions. Upon taking it into the dealership, I was informed that it was a known manufacturing problem and many harnesses have been replaced, but at the cost of the consumer ranging from $1,500-3,000 (depending on the dealership). I have now personally had my car overheat and shutdown on three seperate occasions, the most recent nearly being a severe accident if not due to the attention of the drivers involved. Next time this happens to an effected Nissan the outcome may not be so minor. Please investigate this TSB with Nissan headquarters, being they are unwilling to make any efforts to reply back to the consumer. Thank you for your time and concerns, lonnie beberniss 5839 westmont rd milton, FL 32583 850-626-0853 l. Beberniss@mchsi. Com.

Had problems with engine ping 1 year after purchase. Was told by dealership to use better grade of gas and some pinging is normal. Pinging persisted and right after warranty expired, pinging got so bad the car was undriveable. All 6 coils and knock sensors needed to be replaced. Cost me $1500. Nissan won't cover any of it even though the problem obviously existed while vehicle was in warranty. Despite efforts to have the vehicle serviced, Nissan was negligent in refusing to perform the necessary repairs and stalling until the warranty had expired.
