| About 2 weeks ago my 2003 nissan maxima's engine just shut off while driving. over the next two days this happened 3 more times. upon taking my maxima to be repaired the mechanic informed me of the recall for this exact problem. the mechanic told me the problem was with sensors for the cam, per the computer diagnostics. he then informed me that i should take it to a nissan dealer as this was a recall situation that nissan should fix for free. upon taking the maxima to gurnee nissan in gurnee illinois, i was charged $65 dollars for diagnostics, quoted over $500 for the repairs and vehemently told there is no recall on the 2003 maximas. i then contact nissan, after finding the recall notice on their website and a number to call for assistance. for the last two weeks i have been unable to drive my car and have received no assistance from nissan. while i can find the recall on their website, provided the nissan recall number from the nissan website, they contended first it was no longer under warranty, then it was not a good vin, then the vin was good but was outside the range for the recall, then it was in the range, but did not qualify and finally today i was told, your vin is not in the range, but i don't know what the range of vins are. *tr | |||

| Electrical problems; during warranty period and i had to take the car to the dealership numerous times because the driver' s and front passenger's seats quit working and required electrical repairs. the power sun roof also quit working and required electrical repairs during the warranty period. my car was no longer covered by warranty, and power windows have now quit working. i had so many different electrical problems since purchasing the car that i could not help but to think they wereall connected to the same common problem, and it made me wonder what will happen next. also, during the 2nd year of the warranty period, the battery went completely dead for no apparent reason, and it was not covered by warranty, however, they towed my car to the dealership , early in the morning, and yet had to keep the car over night. i didn't know if repairs to wiring were performed or not, but they didn't admit to any underlying electrical problem, yet they couldn't explain why the battery became dead, or why it required more than 24 hours to replace a dead battery. were these coccurence's commenly reported for this model year. *ak | |||
