Doesn't always do this and some times will run for days without any problems. Have had to dealer and they can't get it to act up. Has anyone experienced this same problem. Fuel pump seems okay and have put in ... Read More

Nissan Maxima 2004 Redesign

• Bought one!

  Written by: choosey on Mar 20, 2003 9:31:05 AM

  The 2004 Maxima SE is a sweet drive, so much so that I bought one with automatic just a few days ago. I've never driven former Maxima's so I can't contribute to that thread. I am a Nissan man thanks to amazingly reliable 1993 Altima (which I traded in). I love the new styling and the interior. Library quiet. I get little lean in corners and am not bothered by torque ...

• 1993 Nissan Maxima GXE Alarm Trouble

  Written by: spencer404 on Jun 23, 2002 9:38:33 AM

  I just bought a used 1993 Maxima GXE automatic, and have been happy with everything, with the exception of the anti-theft system. I didn't even know it had a factory alarm until a policeman rang my bell at 2am and gave me a ticket for it being on for over 4 minutes. I pulled a fuse, but it turned out to be a relay fuse which the guy who installed my ... Read More

When should a timing chain be replaced?

• Timing chains....

  Written by: leadfoot4 on Feb 15, 2002 10:25:02 AM

  I realize that this discussion centers around the Nissan Maxima, but I'll toss this out as food for thought. My wife used to have a 1993 Chevy Caprice with the 350 cu in V-8. The crank seal on the front cover started to leak oil around 45,000 miles. Being a decent mechanic, I pulled the front cover off the engine to fik the leak, and was greatly surprised at the slack ...

• 93 GXE - A variety of weird problems

  Written by: lssomlai on Feb 8, 2002 12:34:11 AM

  I own a 1993 Maxima GXE with 75K miles. I am totally impressed with this car, it's options, and reliability. I have several minor problems that I would like advice on: 1. Noisy rear brakes. Especially when cold I get excessive brake squeal. A Nissan mechanic told me this is normal for maxima's. Is this true? I believe the rear brakes are drum (the brake shoes were fine). 2. Windows going ... Read More

Nissan Maxima Prices Paid and Buying Experience

• Shot at 100K -- hard to believe.

  Written by: mrdetailer on Aug 24, 2001 2:10:20 PM

  Checked Edmunds for a 1993 GXE list trade-in at 4396, retail $6,500. Could it be that the mechanic wants to be the purchaser at auction. I know this may sound like a Condit answer, but the dealer could be a cheat, or completely honest, a very good, careful mechanic, or one who wants to make a good deal for himself. See if you can find an independent Nissan specialist. Have him ... Read More

  Had the same problems you describe on my 1993 nissan maxima. Had it towed 3 times and everytime I took it to the dealer it worked fine. Finally took to a good transmission shop and they checked the transmission and found metal shavings in the transmission fluid and some other indications that made it necessary to have the tranmission rebuilt. I had 105,000 miles on the car. it was repaired about ... Read More
