general problems of the 2003 Nissan Maxima

Car stalls at lights and just stops running while driving down the street. The stalling problem has been going on for years but the car stalling while driving down the road is fairly new. Stalls at ligfhts, stalls while in motion.

I no there was a volunteer recall on a couple different parts of this car , yet looking at the VIN number doesnt show a recall now. I bought my 5th gen Maxima and since then ive had to replace the camshaft sensors in it now 3 times an even gotten new connectors installed to fix the problem. Ive had my car just suddenly die in traffic as im driving or soon as you try to accelorate it dies and is hard to restart. . Its frustrating to love the car and cant ever seem to get it right. , it always seems to have a problem. I monitor Nissan's website to see if they have any TSB's when I have an issuse an normally I find theres something from few years back that had a recall for it.

Takata recall driver and passenger windows were both down on 11/9/17 around 8am in the morning. Both driver and passenger window were all the way down. I did leave the doors unlocked or windows down when I went to sleep. The car was stationary on a regular street parked over night.

Normal maintenance performed on vehicle - oil change, tire replacement - car was on a lift. Mechanic recommended that I "think" about getting rid of the car as the frame of the vehicle is very very rusted and while not "unsafe" yet, is becoming unsafe. I understand from consumers reports that the 2004 Nissan Maxima has a recall for frame rust and stability and repairs are covered by manufacturer but not the 2003. I have not contacted the manufacturer as of yet to see if this would fall under their recall. The quality of the metal on this car is very poor (I had to replace an oil pan due to rust which I have never had to do on any other vehicle I have ever owned). The rear panels of the car are rusting through as well. Otherwise car has been extremely reliable (one owner) and I don't want to get rid of it yet.

I recently had a diagnostic done on my vehicle because I had been having issues with my car engine would get a little hot, it would also cut off on me while driving without notice, I had a couple diagnosis done and all pointed to my camshaft sensor, in was in the national data base as a recall, but base in north american Nissan my VIN# is eligible for that campaign thus will not help fix an issue I've already had to repair more than once. They've told me because I haven't had my car service by them the whole time I've owned my vehicle they would not help. I am very upset that this is the result I got after contacting north american Nissan directly and they wouldn't do anything. Based on the recall issue could be very dangerous and cause an accident in which I have been very lucky when ever I am driving, no cars end up crashing into me from behind.

Our 2003 Nissan Maxima has been totaled. We no longer have it, but our son was in a major fatal car accident on a major city street 2006, to we ourself do not know exactly what was the cause, our son fell asleep. No drugs or alcohol involved. Courts stated speeding without investigated proof. Our son is incarcerated for 36 years.
