Just had the identical problem with my son in laws Stratus. Auto Zone said it was the "output speed sendor on the transmission". Went to the dealer for the part. $20.00. Found where it was located and replaced. Works great. The speedometer not working is a clear sign. Make sure you replace the "output" sensor as there is an input that looks similar. Read More...

I think your car is too old for electronic shift technology. You'd best check your fluid level and if it's okay have a service done and filter change. If that doesn't cure it, you'll probably have to have a transmision shop look it over. It might be a sticking valve body, which I suspect is the case, or some other type of "internal leak".

Nissan Maxima vs. Toyota Camry

We traded in our Maxima for our new V6SE. My words of wisdom are to check out the Edmunds Maxima forum and Consumer Reports vehicle history reports for the Nissans. You'll end up with a pretty cool car w/ lots of features - but you'll get to know the Nissan service dept much better than you ever wanted to. I guarantee you'll know everyone by name in less than a year. This ... Read More...

1999 Nissan Maxima SE advice please

Written by: icebladepod on Jul 14, 2003 02:59 PM

Hello, I'm about to enter college, and I think I've decided on the right car. I currently own a 1991 Nissan Maxima SE, and I love it, but it burns more oil then gas, and I really don't trust it on long distance trips. I'm thinking about going for a 1999 Nissan Maxima SE. I know the styling is a little more..."bland" then the current model I have, and looks "generic" among ... Read More...

Mazdas reliability problems stemmed from the AT Ford tranny in the 626 in 94. If you actually check the Mazda6 forums you'll see that ppl are not complaining about much, except Mazda's idiotic option packages in the US - we have much better packages in Canada. And much of the talk revolves at whether they should get the lip or raised spoiler... The Mazda Protege, ... Read More...

Hood Flapping/Bouncing

Written by: johngolden on Apr 16, 2002 04:20 PM

I had a similar hood flutter on my 2002 SE (went in for an oil change on my 208K 1991 Sentra and came out with a Maxima) at high speeds or when driving into strong head winds. Mine was particularly noticeable at the hood's edges. I spoke to my service guy at the dealer and he knew exactly what I was describing. They installed a supplemental hood gasket kit that prevent ...

Nissan Maxima Bose Stereo Buzzes rear deck

Written by: giorgos on Feb 16, 2002 11:23 AM

I own a 1991 Maxima SE. for which I paid a lot of money for the "Bose Sound" (How stupid of me) Well, what I got for my money (about $3,000) because I had to buy all the other options plus the Bose ($980,) was a rear deck that buzzes when the center mounted sub woofer comes into play. That is, when a low bass note is heard, the sub woofer comes alive and the whole rear deck buzzes ... Read More...
