NHTSA Complaint #10171543 — 1997 NISSAN MAXIMA

THEY TOLD ME WHEN I WAS PURCHASING THE 1997 NISSAN MAXIMA THAT IT HAS BEEN THROUGH THERE INSPECTION. AS SOON AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR HOME AND WAS AT A STOP THE ENGINE TURN OFF. IT TOOK ME TWO TIMES TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN TO START UP. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED THE DEALER AND SPOKE TO HIM ABOUT THE CAR TOOK IT IN TO GET IT REPAIRED. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR IS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP ENGINE JUST TURNS OFF. IT TOOK ME FIVE TIMES TO PLAY AROUND WITH THE IGNITION TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. IN THE GLOVER COMPARTMENT I HAVE FOUND THE ENCLOSED COPY OF THE REPAIR INVOICE FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNER THAT STATES HE WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAVE KNOW WITH THE ENGINE. THEY NEVER MENTION TO ME THAT THE CAR WAS HAVING ANY PROBLEMS. I BOUGHT THE CAR AS IS PAID CASH. I TRIED TO RETURN THE CAR AND GET MY MONEY BACK. BUT THE DEALER SHIP SAID NO. I PURCHASED THIS CAR AT THE PLANET NISSAN 5850 CENTENNIAL CENTER BLVD. LAS VEGAS NV 89149. (702)876-8000. I'M VERY UPSET THAT THEY SOLD ME A LEMON OF A CAR THAT I PURCHASED AND THAT I HAVE BEEN PAYING OUT OF POCKET TO FIX . *NM
