2002 Nissan Maxima Engine cooling Problems

“I have a check engine light that codes to a cam position sensor problem. I was going to have my regular mechanic repair it, but then I was told that there was a previous recall on this part. I called Nissan and they said to take it to a certified Nissan dealer and verify it was a cam position sensor code. The dealer verified it was.the dealer said their records showed that part had been replaced once before, but Nissan said the repair would be taken care of. …”

“Had a throttle body cleaning done on my car and as soon as I left the mechanic shop my engine light came on. I have since had to replace the throttle body and still my car will not relearn (and that was done at a Nissan dealer), now they say I need a new computer. I have also lost 75 miles a tank in gasoline sine the fuel system cleaner. The shop will not take responsibility, Nissan will not take responsibility, and the 3 step fuel system cleaner manufacturer will not take responsibility. …”

“In reference to > NHTSA campaign number: 03v455000 component(s): engine and engine cooling I nearly crashed when my car died while merging onto a freeway. My car doesn't start like it used to. Very rough starts, continuously to get the engine to turn. It will die while car is moving. This happens abruptly and suddenly while driving. Rpms idle higher than normal. Engine loss. I used obd scanner to decipher the problem. I looked for recall online and found the one located above. It is identical to my issues.I contacted Nissan and they refused. I could have died. Please help thank you!”

“While driving on they highway my vehicle jerked while I was going roughly 70mph. When that happened it kind of hesitated and then my slip and tcs light came on. Later on that day my vehicle completely stalled while stopped at a intersection. It started back up but started very hard. I arrived at my destination and turned it off for roughly 10 minutes. I tried to start it and it would not start. My vehicle sat for about 2 hours and when I tried it again, it started right up. I researched this problem and found that there was a recall for nissans for the crank position sensor. …”

“Completing tune up on vehicle when oil was found in spark plug tube which could have LED to engine failure/fire. Nissan customer service was notified and failed to correct the issue. Should be seals/gaskets between valve cover and spark plug tube seals. I also discovered that earlier and later models other than 2002 and 2003 models have the seals installed from the manufacturer.”
