Consumer Description

MY MAXIMA STARTED SPUTTERING AND ACTED AS IF IT WAS GOING TO DIE. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. AT ABOUT 3500RPM THE CAR BRICK WALLED AND DECELERATED. FIRST I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO BLEW OUT ALL MY HOSES. THAT WORKED FOR A COUPLE MONTHS. THEN THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND WAS ACTING UP AGAIN. REPLACED THE 2 FRONT OXYGEN SENSORS. WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK. WENT BACK TO THE MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR AND REPLACED THE FUEL FILTER. RAN GOOD FOR A FEW WEEKS AND STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK TO MECHANIC AND HAD TO HAVE THE FIRST OF 6 IGNITION COILS REPLACED. RUNNING FINE, OCCASIONALLY SPUTTERS, BUT MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WON'T GO AWAY. TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPT. SAID THAT THE 2000 MODEL DOES NOT HAVE AN ECM SOFTWARE UPDATE! *TR
