Consumer Description

SAFETY DEFECT WITH THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP OR SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT AS IT RELATES TO THE REAR OXYGEN SENSORS IN THE 2000 NISSAN MAXIMA. FAILURE TO REPLACE OXYGEN SENSORS COULD ULTIMATELY RESULT IN FURTHER VEHICLE FAILURE AND POSSIBLE INJURY. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE VEHICLE AND NOT DUE TO THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE OWNER FOR THE UPKEEP OF THE CAR. SAFETY DEFECT IS A COMMON PROBLEM TO 2000-2002 NISSAN MAXIMAS BASED ON SEVERAL TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUED BY NISSAN, AND BASED ON MY OWN LITERATURE SEARCH OVER THE INTERNET, HOWEVER, NISSAN HAS NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL. THE TOTAL COST TO REPLACE THE REAR OXYGEN SENSORS AND REPROGRAM THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WAS $363.21. *LA
