NHTSA Complaint #10225815 — 2000 NISSAN MAXIMA

ON MARCH 5, 2008, THE IDLE AIR CONTROL WENT OUT ON THIS VEHICLE. THE PART WAS REPLACED WITH A GENUINE PART FROM NISSAN. WITHIN 30 DAYS OF REPLACING THE PART, THE ELECTRONIC MOTOR MOUNT WIRING SHORTED OUT, WHICH CAUSED THE NEW PART TO BURN, AS WELL AS THE COMPUTER. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, IN WHICH THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND FAILED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OTHER CUSTOMERS AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. EVERYTIME THIS PART BURNS OUT, IT WILL COST $2000.00 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE PART AND YOU WILL STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IS CONCEALING A PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND SOME RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN FOUND. THE CONSUMERS ARE BEING DECEIVED BY NOT BEING INFORMED OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THEY PURCHASE THE 2000 SERIES OF NISSAN MAXIMA. *TR
