| Gauges (temperature, gas, speedometer and rpm) all go dead while driving. the error has been occurring since my car was about 6 months old. i have read other nissan customers having the same issue with 2000 year models, however no resolution has come to my attention. the digital odometer also does not register miles as they are added to the vehicle. seems like a safety issue to me. i really would like to know how fast i'm going. luckily i haven't gotten a speeding ticket yet. if i do, nissan should pay! *tr | |||

| Rough idle prompted me to take the car into a mechanic. after it was hooked up to the computer i was told the o2 sensors were telling my computer to run the gas lean and the computer was telling my o2 sensors to run leaner. at that time my car had only 52,000 miles and i know the o2 sensors are supposed to be good for up to about 80,000. noting was done and the care continues to have the rough idle as if it wants to die. i have put about $2k into it trying to fix possible problems and feel if it is an o2 sensor problem and the car is under 80,000 miles it is a defect. *nm | |||

| On first cool day (mid-50s) of november (in houston, tx), the engine on my 2000 nissan maxima gle began shuddering occasionally and the service engine soon lamp lit. i took vehicle to my local nissan dealer for diagnosis. the service advisor recommended replacement of all six ignition coils at a cost of $660 (including labor, parts, and sales tax), which i declined. my further research on the internet revealed that this is a frequent problem among 2000-01 maximas, and that nissan has issued tsb ntb01-059 which addresses the issue.*ak | |||

| (1) i was experiencing power loss with my 2000 nissan maxima to the extent that when i accelerated the engine bogged down and placed me in an unsafe condition. (2) the service engine light came on and i took the car to my dealer for a diagnostic. i was informed that there was intermittent ignition coil failure but it was undetermined as to which coils and was advised to replace all 6. (3) i have since read many complaints regarding the very same failure to the extent that nissan has begun using an upgraded coil. this leads me to believe that the original equipment is defective. i note that no recall has been instituted on the ignition coils and respectfully request an investigation into this safety issue that proves very costly to repair. *jb | |||

| My first problem is with the instrument panel on the dashboard. when driving at low or hi gh speed the entire cluster would stop working for a few minutes or hours, and the car would lose power, and suddenly it would start working again. the sudden loss of power almost cause a terrible accident on turnpike. i took it to the dealer, and tha circuit board was replaced. my latest problem is the security/door lock system. my doors keep unlocking on their own as i'm driving ( child on board). i've done some research and this are very common problems among xterra owners.*ak | |||

| Car hesitation and running rough. service engine came on and car dropped off at nissan dealer for service. dealer called and said the (6)coils need replacing. the car has 68000 miles on it now. the coils had been replaced in 2001 when the car had 30,000 miles on it. i read there service booklet and no where does it say to have the coils replaced every 30,000miles. when the dealer replaced the coils at 30,000miles he said that nissan had some defective coils and they did the under warranty but this time it costs me $611.65 as they said they are not covered under warranty any longer. after checking edmunds web site and several others it appears every 2000 maxima has to have the coils replaced every 30,000miles or so as there are numerous complaints about the same problem i have.*ak | |||

| My wife was driving her 2000 nissan quest, when the car continued to idle at about 1200 rpms and would not come down when she let up on the gas pedal. the van had to be towed to our mechanic, and the mechanic stated the idle air motor was stuck and needed to be replaced. the mechanic also stated the speed of the car at 1200 rpm's was about 40 mph, and trying to stop the car was very hard. my wife was very lucky she was not in an accident and was very lucky she was able to pull the van over and stop. furthermore, on your complaint form i am unable to put down the vehicle was a nissan quest, as that model is not one of the options under the vehicle information.*ak | |||
