2005 Nissan Maxima Engine

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20MPH THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTERWARDS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE ENGINE WAS DIFFICULT TO START AFTER SITTING FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED. ALTHOUGH THE CODE INDICATED THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR FAILED, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOT ALERTED.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA ON FEB. 12 2005. SINCE MY PURCHASE I HAVE HAD TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SOON AFTER THE PURCHASE. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS THAT THE THROTTLE WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOW ON 01/16/06 THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE VEHICLE HAS THROWN A ROD. MY CAR IS NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD YET, BRAND NEW WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON IT. I WILL BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR 2-3 WEEKS. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL NISSAN OWNER FOR OVER 13 YRS. I HAVE PURCHASED NOTHING BUT NISSAN VEHICLES SINCE MOVING TO TEXAS. I AM SO UPSET THAT I CAN'T EVEN PUT IT TO WORDS, I WILL NEVER,EVER, BUY ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT DUE TO ALL THE HARD ACHES I HAVE GONE THROUGH WITH THE PURCHASE OF MY NEW VEHICLE. I CAN'T EVEN ENJOY THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT SPENDS HALF THE TIME IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I WANT TO GET OUT FROM UNDER MY LEASE, UNSURE IF I CAN EVEN DO THAT. THEN TRYING TO CONTACT YOUR COMPANY HAS BEEN A LIVING NIGHTMARE. I COULD CRY RIGHT NOW. YOU WANT A COMPLAINT YOU GOT A BIG ONE. NOW, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT! I NEED SOMEONE IN CHARGE TO CONTACT ME ASAP. I WILL CONTACT MY NEWS STATION, LOCAL RADIO STATION WHATEVER IT TAKES AND LET EVERYONE IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF TX. KNOW HOW I HAVE BEEN TREATED BY NISSAN MOTORS. *JB

THE VEHICLE WILL CRANK, BUT WOULD NOT START. WHILE DRIVING HOME THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. VEHICLE WAS INCHED INTO A PARKING LOT. TOWED THE NEXT DAY. THE IPDM MODULE WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. THE MODULE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER.*AK...A BRAND NEW DESIGN, AND CONSUMER BELIEVED THERE WAS A MAJOR FLAW IN DESIGN TO HAVE NO AUXILLIARY POWER OR WARNING WHEN THIS SHOULD OCCUR. *AK
