Exhaust system sensors needed to be replaced due to erratic operation of the electrical coiling of the ignition. The mixture of the exhaust would be affected along with the catalytic converter spewing a liquid from tail pipes.

problem #4

Maxima 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles
Ignition coils have failed and been replaced and now ABS/tcs indicator lights flash on and off; dealer told me ABS was not operational if the light was on, but ABS is operational based on self-test on the road. Based on the number of electrical/ignition complaints, it is clearly an electrical problem that Nissan and/or the dealer is not addressing.

Maxima

Brought in initially and ECM was reset. Two days later failed again. On return for service fuel injector #6 was replaced. Two days later failure occurred again. Engine service light is on. Feel this is a safety concern because I have no idea if a major problem has occurred or the sensor is just not working properly.
