2000 Nissan Maxima Engine Problems

“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.”

“We own a 2000 Nissan Maxima se. We have had multiple issues with it. At around 68,000 miles we had to pay around $1000 to replace all of the ignition coil wires on the car because it would stall and quit running. We took it to wallace Nissan in kingsport tennessee and had it repaired. They told us then that it was a known issue with no official recall from Nissan so we would have to cover the full cost out of pocket. Next we have always had these noises in the front wheels that they keep telling us is from rusted brake dust shields. …”

“I believe, the engine light problem was there since I bought it because after driving couple of months (1000-1500 miles) the light appeared. First, it will come and go after approx 61,000 miles it became permanent. In 2008 I took the vehicle to Nissan dealership bill kay at downers grove il paid approx. $2,000 for fixing the problem but after some time it again came up and started flashing. In 2010 again I took it to maineke auto work shop and got the ignition coils changed, silencer/exhaust changed and paid almost $1,200 but again the same problem of engine light came back. …”

“Ses, tcs, and slip lights on. Engine running roughly. Dx from auto zone on ses is ignition coils. Upon checking internet, this is a very common problem with maximas and can cause engine failure. Requires replacement of all 6 coils. Very costly. Is there a recall? Recommendations state that o2 sensor should also be replaced. Any possibility that the Nissan company will repair for free since this is such a common problem and must be a defect?”

“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 .”
