I have a Nissan Maxima 2001 and have 98,000 miles on it. I am planning to change the spark plugs but not sure if I should replace the coils. What's recommended? The guy in the part store said if the car is running ok then you don't have to change them. Read More...

Hello all, I recently bought a used 2001 Nissan Maxima SE with ~50,000 miles on it. The car is in great shape except for one thing. There is a humming noise coming from the passenger rear area.

I have a 2008 Nissan Maxima. I just got some work done to it and the sunroof didn't slide open and close, but it would go up and down. I opened it, then closed it, then held the close button down for about 5 seconds and I'll be damned if it started sliding open and close. It worked!!! Thanks for the post. Read More...

Just letting you all know that, in the final analysis, this $2865 repair quoted by the dealer was nowhere near justified. To the guys that suggested putting in two oxygen sensors in bank 1...you were correct.
