2000 NISSAN MAXIMA Vehicle Speed Control Problems

2000 NISSAN MAXIMA SE. WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY OR SECONDARY ROAD THE VEHICLE STARTS TO BUCK. SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE (TCS) TRACTION CONTROL AND SLIP LIGHTS ILLUMINATE. THIS CAUSES ME TO SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND DECELERATE IN HI SPEED TRAFFIC ALMOST LEADING TO REAR END COLLISIONS. I HAVE TRIED TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM BY RESETTING THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY OVERNIGHT AND SPEAKING TO MECHANICS. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. AT TIMES THE TCS WILL ACTIVATE ( SOMETIMES STALL ) WHILE I AM PULLING INTO TRAFFIC OR MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY ( RPM'S GO TO 2000 MAXIMUM WHEN THIS HAPPENS ) CAUSING CONCERN TO MYSELF OR OTHER MOTORIST. THE VEHICLE HAS 190K AND I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE 01/26/2018. THE VEHICLE OPERATED PERFECTLY UNTIL 07/2018. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE BEEN UNEMPLOYED SINCE 04/2018 AND CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE CAR PUT...

THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING AND THEN DIED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. HAD TO EXIT OFF THE ROAD FAST AS THE CAR COASTED DOWN TO PREVENT OTHER CARS FROM HITTING THE CAR. IN DANGER OF OTHER CARS RUNNING OVER CAR WHILE OUR CAR MALFUNCTION. TOOK CAR TO SHOP AND WAS TOLD A 2 DOLLAR O-RING ON THE AUTO CONTROL VALVE HAD ALLOWED AIR LEAKAGE AND THIS IN TURNED CAUSED FAILURE OF THE ECM ELECTRON CONTROL MODULE. BOTH AUTO CONTROL VALVE AND ECM NEEDS REPLACING WHERE THE CAR CAN BE SAFELY DRIVEN. THE FACT OF THIS FAILURE DID NOT BRING IN THE ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT TILL AFTER THE EVENT AND FACT IT WILL COST OVER $2000 DOLLARS TO REPAIR A CAR THAT IS NOT WORK MUCH MORE $3000 ARE JUST FACTS. NISSAN NEEDS TO AT LEAST SEND OUT TO THEIR CUSTOMERS THAT OWNS OF THIS MODEL AND MAKE COULD HAVE THIS...

I CHECKED MY OIL AND TRANSMISSION FLUID ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AFTER BUYING THE CAR AND RIGHT WHEN I SHUT THE HOOD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON AND STAYED ON OBVIOUSLY VERY TEMPERAMENTAL. ABOUT A WEEK LATER WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE ENGINE FELT A LITTLE WEIRD THEN WHEN I STARTED DRIVING RIGHT AWAY THE CAR LOST POWER SHUT DOWN AND ALL THE LIGHT POPPED ON I HAD MY 2 YEAR OLD AND 3 YEAR OLD AND FIANCE IN THE CAR AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I ALMOST GOT HIT TRYING TO STEER IT OUT OF TRAFFIC INTO A MCDONALD'S. CALLED THE DEALER AND HE JUST LEFT US SITTING THERE IN THE HEAT. CALLED THE TOW TRUCK AND I WAS TRYING TO RESTART THE CAR BUT IT WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT STAY ON. SO I WAIT AND WAIT AND DECIDE TO TRY...

WE WERE DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AND HAD ABOUT 5 FEET TO GO BEFORE THE CAR WAS PARKED. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN FURTHER. SUDDENLY THE CAR ENGINE REVVED AND THE CAR TOOK OFF. I PRESSED HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, NOT THE GAS PEDAL, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP. I TURNED THE WHEEL TO AVOID HITTING THE BUILDING IN FRONT OF ME, BUT HIT THE ADJACENT RESTAURANT INSTEAD. THE CAR CRASHED INTO THE RESTAURANT WALL AND SENT A LARGE REFRIGERATOR CRASHING TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM. FORTUNATELY, NO RESTAURANT PERSONNEL WERE IN THE PATH OF THE REFRIGERATOR AT THE TIME. SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE RESTAURANT AND TO THE CAR. MY HUSBAND WHO HAD ALREADY TAKEN OFF HIS SEAT BELT, AS WE WERE NEARLY STOPPED, HIT THE WINDSHIELD WITH HIS HEAD. HE IS IN THE HOSPITAL. I BADLY BRUISED MY...

I HAVE THE SAME ENGINE IGNITION COIL PROBLEM AS LISTED THROUGHOUT YOUR SITE AND THE INTERNET BY THOUSANDS OF OTHER 2000 NISSAN MAXIMA OWNERS. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, THE CAR IS BARELY RUNNING BECAUSE OF THESE FAULTY IGNITION COILS WHICH THE DEALER RECOMMEND I HAVE REPLACED FOR OVER $1000. NISSAN REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS DEFECT WITH A RECALL. SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN. FIRST THEY TOLD IT WAS THE SPARK PLUGS WHICH I HAD REPLACED. THEN IT WAS THESE COILS, THE CAR JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE DAILY. STALLING, BARELY ACCELERATING, CAN'T TAKE IT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE IT BARELY MOVES. ACCELERATOR FAILS OFTEN, SOMETIMES THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL DOWN. THE FUMES COMING FROM THE CAR INDICATE THAT GAS IS BEING WASTED. ALSO GETTING TERRIBLE GAS MILEAGE. PLEASE HELP. *NM

WHILE SITTING AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT CONSUMER HAD TO DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO MAKE THE VEHICLE MOVE. WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED HARD VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND LURCHED FORWARD. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED MORE THAT FIVE TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS.*AK

VEHICLE HAS STALLED 3 TIMES WHEN COMING TO A STOP. WAS TAKEN TO DEALER TWICE. IAC VALVE WAS REPLACED, DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM.*AK

WHILE ACCELERATING INTO TRAFFIC VEHICLE HESITATES. VEHICLE WILL SHUTDOWN WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.*AK

WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. CONSUMER HAD TO STOP TO ALLOW TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT AGAIN, AND SOMETIMES ENGINE WILL STALL WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, CONSUMER COULD STEP ON BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR CONSUMER TO KEEP CONTROL OF VEHICLE.*AK *SLC
