| We have a 1991 nissan maxima. on tuesday, dec. 13, 2004 it burned up under the hood and melted everything to a crisp. the fire department said they were not sure if it was the fuel injector that caused it to ignite. we were on our way to school, and it smelled like gas fumes, then it quelled down, about 10 minutes later it started to smoke. we opened the trunk first to get a rag and then the hood turned black, and in 1 minute. it started to blaze. none of the body of the car was damaged except the hood, and everything under it melted to a crisp. could this be a defect please give me a guess. thanks for your time. *ak | |||

| I have noticed on countless nissan maximas (early 90 models) that two or fewer brake lights out of four actually light when brakes are pressed which is obviously caused by an electrical problem because the other rear lights dim out.*ak | |||

| This an intermittent problem. the engine will start to shudder and lose power as if it is starving for air or gas. continue driving will make the problem worse until the vehicle stalls completely. further attempts on restarting will result in the engine shuddering, running for a minute or so and then shutting down. if the vehicle is left for a while (a few hours)., it will start up perfectly and run for a while (from a few miles to hundreds of miles) until the problem occurs again. the vehicle has been to the dealer over 9 times (costing >$2000), and numerous replacement of parts to no avail. | |||
