I bought used 2004 Nissan Maxima car at north shore auto mall on 9/18/14,the service tech. Drove car up to front of dealership w/car still running he test drove car w/me( didn't think anything about it at the time) I got in and we went for a test drive, car was great. Got back to dealer, gave the balance. Once I left dealer, while driving on highway the car started to skip & felt like it was going to stall, I pulled over to right lane, put hazards on w/traffic behind me, the car stalled, I almost caused a collision, cars were beeping, swerving out of the way, I couldn't get any acceleration with it in drive, so I put it in neutral & after 3 try's it started up w/much hesitation. I was scared for my life & others on the road, I took side streets to make it home & when I stopped at stop sign it stalled again, I repeated the same steps as above w/hazards on the whole ride home. Now I know why the service tech. Took test ride w/me. I had a friend with me as my witness. This car wont pass inspection , the check engine light will not turn off, I called dealer he said make an appt, I said I only have 7 days for inspection sticker, he said, he has nothing to do with service and to call them. I called on Monday the 22nd &1st,available appt. Wasn't til 9/25/14, my 7 days were up on that Thursday. He said he'll call me around noon, I waited til Friday 5pm, he nor anyone in serv. Called to update me & let me know car will be there over the weekend. What do I do & whats the time limit on fixing my car w/o any communication to me. Im sooooo upset at the lack of professionalism and ethics, im afraid if I say something derogatory, they will sabotage my car. Please help me. . !!!!.

While picking my new, used Maxima 2004 from dealer, pulling out of the lot and waiting for clearance to get on highway, I proceeded to turn onto hw & it stalled & alternator light came on & "check engine" it hasn't shut off yet, I felt like I was in a horrible nightmare. . I thought I was going to get hit because cars were coming, I quickly put hazards on, and put it in neutral and tried to start it, it was trying to turn over as I was pumping the gas pedal like a jack hammer, I finally floored it & it started not without whiplash to my neck, my chest hit the steering wheel because it jerked sooooo hard into gear !!!. I put it in drive and was so nervous because cars were honking & swearing at me. . . I was totally shocked and greatly disappointed that I almost caused multiple car collision. I called mgr at dealership when I got home & he said " just call service and make an appt. I said I just left your lot w/new plates and told him what had just happened, he said " I have nothing to do w/service, so call them in the a. M. & make an appt. " didnt even apologize. I got anxiety because I'm 47 yrs old and had quite a few cars and I know when a car jerks, goes from drive to 5th gear with powerful jerking motion all the time, skipping & stalling while in drive, most likely a bad transmission, its obviously not safe to drive, I just bought it 9/18/14 & I cant drive it, it won't pass inspection in 7 days. Check engine light still on, looks like 7 days is not happening my appt is 9/25/14 supposed to be under warranty. Instead of being excited about car I'm so angry & I feel like once they had my money, they could care less about me or my family or drivers on road. Thankfully no-one got hurt, its been parked since 9/21/14, they said they did 21 pt insp, yaa right !! sure they did, how can they knowingly let me drive off lot. . With no regard for public safety. Is this legal ??.

1n4ba41ex4c896406 starting it up takes 2-3x with putting the gas pedal all the way to the floor, then it jerks into gear. While driving it just stalls out which is very scary & dangerous and it goes from drive to 5th gear no 1-4, and it hesitates & when driving up to a red light for example, then it starts to conk out. Also no pick up from an idle position, I just bought it 9/17/14 and called dealer and he told him it wont pass inspection "check engine light on" constant. It feels like transmission isn't in proper gear (5th) just stalls while driving. Everyone behind me leans on the horn and yells at me when it stalls out in drive. Im afraid to drive it. The dealer (north shore auto mall, lynn MA 01905, mgr name kevin, real jerk !!) said they did a 21 point inspection, but thats bs, they would have caught that seeing that they are in the business and knew they sold me a car w/bad transmission/alternator. Now they dont want to know me. Please give me some resources that you know of to remedy the problem. I could go on & on about the treatment I had to endure but that wont help hopefully you can regards susan dallesandro 857-237-7661 suzydell@gmail. Com ".

I bought my car new in July of 2003 with less than 14 miles on it. I have maintained my car myself (when I can) since a napa repair shop put the wrong transmission fluid in it and completely ruined my tranny. I change my oil regularly and keep up to date with other scheduled maintenance. I now have approximately 144k miles on my car and I have a obd code of p0420. In addition to the check engine light, my brake light stays on even after releasing the emergency brake. One thing I have notice is that I have to add oil every so often because it goes low. I thought it was because the car is approaching 9 years, but now with the obd code, I know that there is an issue with one or both of the front catalytic converters. Please correct these issues before someone gets injured.

Tranmission skipped @ 65,518 wich I was told was out of the powertrain warranty paid $4,000. 00 on 12/08/08 for what I thought was a new tranmission. Found out later Nissan uses re-built trani. Right after the initional trani was put in I continued to have the same problem. . . Took it a few times back but all I got was the run around. . . They stated it might be the motor mount, that got fixed still the problem was there. The car went thru diagnostic reading from 2009 thru 2012 but since the engine light was not on it would not give any diagnosis codes. . . . Until April of this year my transmission skipped again @ approx. 113,500. 00 while being tested by a Nissan mechanic.

My 2004 Nissan Maxima was stalled on the road twice in the middle of the road while driving around June 2008 with a mileage of 54,500. Before the stalls happened, the vehicle jerked when shifting from first to second gear and vs versa. At the time of the stalling, the check engine light went on. I brought it back to Nissan dealer, thinking it is still within the power train warranty. The dealer however told me the warranty does not cover this problem. It costs me over $600. 00. The report said that camshaft position sensor is malfunctioning.
