Electrical System · at 15,000 miles · reported Nov 26, 2007
Gauges (Temperature, gas, speedometer and RPM) all go dead while driving. The error has been occurring since my car was about 6 months old. I have read other nissan customers having the same issue with 2000 year models, however no resolution has come to my attention. The digital odometer also does not register miles as they are added to the vehicle. Seems like a safety issue to me. I really would like to know how fast I'm going. Luckily I haven't gotten a speeding ticket yet. If I do, nissan should pay!
Engine and Engine Cooling · reported Nov 20, 2007
Oxygen sensor ... Cause my engine service light to go on and off ... It self . When the light is on my car burn tons of gas ... Consumption doubled ...
Engine and Engine Cooling · at 52,000 miles · reported Jan 5, 2007
Rough idle prompted me to take the car into a mechanic. After it was hooked up to the computer I was told the o2 sensors were telling my computer to run the gas lean and the computer was telling my o2 sensors to run leaner. At that time my car had only 52,000 miles and I know the o2 sensors are supposed to be good for up to about 80,000. Noting was done and the care continues to have the rough idle as if it wants to die. I have put about $2k into it trying to fix possible problems and feel if it is an o2 sensor problem and the car is under 80,000 miles it is a defect.
Air Bags · at 38,000 miles · reported May 6, 2006
My 2000 maxima is horrible I have the notorious coil problem plus I smashed into a pole and the car's air bags and the seat belts don't work you must hit the brake for the seat belt to lock and you need to really hit something real hard but at that point you may already be dead they need to address these problems ,they can be sued and I AM going to congress with this,they are not sensitive to anyone's lives they should ban nissan company they are crooks huge law suit they can go down.

Multiple times in 2004 (While under warranty) stating rough idle-cannot figure out. Safety checks show no problems. 2 aug 05 code p1320 (Plug #3 cleaned); p 0303/gas cap. Codes cleared $112.00; didn't even get car in gear off dealer's lot check engine light is still on. Svc rep stated was off after work performed must be something else. Kept 2 days, refused to put sr. Tech on my car who has worked on the car. Took to another shop, replaced all 6 ignition coils. New code to replace torque covertor malfunction = transmission. Est from 300-$3,000.00!
