Consumer Description

7/6/06 SMELLED STRANGE ODOR 30 MINUTES LATER MY 2001 NISSAN MAXIMA LOST TOTAL POWER IN THE FAST LANE, ALL GAUGES WENT TO ZERO, HEARD A HISSING SOUND AS I DODGED TRUCKS GOING BY AT 80 MPH AS I COASTED TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. I OPENED THE HOOD AND THE BATTERY WAS SQUIRTING FLUID OUT OF ALL THE VENT CAPS. I CALLED THE NEAREST DEALER IN WILKES-BARRE, PA AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE CAR FOR A WEEK! I MADE THE DECISION TO TOW IT TO BRENNER NISSAN IN MECHANICSBURG,PA(90 MILES, $346 TOW BILL). THEY MADE AN INITIAL INSPECTION 7/7 AND DETERMINED I HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM! I HAVE GATHERED INFORMATION ON NISSAN MAXIMA PROBLEMS AND WILL MEET WITH THE DEALER 7/10 TO DETERMINE HOW THIS PROBLEM WILL BE DIAGNOSED WITHOUT INCURRING $1000'S IN SERVICE CHARGES. THEY SEEMED UNWILLING TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND THEN SEE WHAT ELSE WAS BROKE. *JB
