Maxima

  • Automatic transmission
  • 52,500 miles
I own a 2000 Nissan Maxima. Since the purchase in 2000 we have had several problems with the electrical. Blown fuses, ignition coils replaced, etc. When my power windows stopped working, then my door locks, then my lights I decided to take it to an independant mechanic. Under the driver's seat there are 3 motors, all with wiring. The wiring was run in such a way that wires had been rubbed & pressed against metal partsf of the vehicle, leaving bare wires exposed. So, when you would sit on the seat the wires would touch metal and short out. I feel fortunate that I was not a victim of a fire beneath the seat which I believe would have been the ultimate outcome. I think this should be checked out to see if it is a common problem with this year and make of vehicle. 2000 Nissan Maxima SE. Thank you.
