Maxima

  • miles
My mechanic tells me Maxima 2011 has a common problem that needs to reprogram the ECM. "service engine light soon keeps appearing" this should be a free service because my car does not need a new mass air flow sensor. Please factory recall this issue. My car is actually in great shape at 49,000 miles. Here are the list of cars affected. Https://www.autocodes.com/P0101_nissan.html I went to bay ridge Nissan dealership and tells me my warrenty does not cover this service and there is no factory recall or bulletin. He wants me to buy a new part ($260 usd) and reprogram the ECM ($175 usd). This is unacceptable.

Maxima

  • 40,400 miles
The front turn signal lamp on the Maxima is 2" below the low beam headlight. 31/2" center to center. When this vehicle is oncoming with the headlamps on, the turn signal is virtually blotted out by the glare of the headlamp. This is a problem on many makes and models of vehicles. This condition is even worse for one that wears eyeglasses and/or has mild cataracts as this causes the oncoming headlights to appear to flare. The front turn signal lamp should never be closer than 6" to the headlamps. Conditions: Vehicle stopped and ready to turn. Worse at night. City street or country road.
