| I'm very disappointed in my girlfriend's purchase of a 99 maxima gle. the car runs very rough and almost stalls everytime you brake. after researching this i have found 1000's of complaints about this issue. apparently the coil packs go bad frequently. this is a problem for stopping and acceleration into oncoming traffic. very,very dangerous. there really should be some action by nissan to correct this problem.asap anything info you have on this problem would be helpful to us. thank you *tr | |||

| 9/02 - within a 90 mile drive:tachometer, speedometer and temperature gauge shut off while i was driving at high speeds. air bag light was also flashing. then they would either turn back on by themselves or while i was standing still the speedometer would be stuck at 100mph. further into the drive engine would shut off by itself losing brakes and power steering driving at speeds 0-40mph. first we repaced the battery then took it to nissan where they found internal failure dash circuit board which was replaced along with the left side seat air bag harness. 1/03 - battery and brake lights came on. the car began sputtering and every other warning light was lit. then the car would drive fine and did not shut off. the alternator was replaced this time. 7/6/03 - speedometer,tachometer and odometer shut off for entire 2 1/2 hour trip. today 7/7 everything is fine (so far).*ak | |||

| When applying brakes to come to a stop,vehicle will surge forward. engine revs and rpm's go up all the way. only way to stop vehicle is to press on brakes very hard and throw vehicle in neutral. then, engine stops revving and rpm's go down. this happens only at slow speeds when trying to come to a stop. vehicle taken to dealer 4 times, could not remedy.*ak consumer states this occurs infrequently. *slc | |||

| At cold startup, engine oil light usually flashes, and engine makes loud sound like it doesn't have oil pressure. this goes away after a few seconds. nissan advised to always use nissan oil filters, which i do, and problem has existed since car was new. when car is fully warm and in drive at a standstill with lights on and a/c off, car idle will drop to about 500 rpm, causing annoying vibration. dealer says no problems found. resume on cruise control has failed intermittently about 1 of every 20 times. resume feature will not work, and you must reset the cruise to the preferred speed. dealer says no problems found. door locks/keyless entry have failed several times. power locks have locked and instantly unlocked when pressing lock button on keyless remote; also, locks have unlocked and then locked when pressing unlock button and had to manually unlock each door. dealer says no problems found. this is the 8th nissan vehicle my family has owned and the first i have personally bought new; i do not expect this from a new nissan car and do not expect the dealer should ignore my complaints. | |||
