Engine Turns Over, Won't Start
2004 Nissan Maxima
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Nissan dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2004-2006 Nissan Maxima has widespread transmission problems. It starts with the vehicle jerking when shifting, & progresses to full-blown transmission failure.
Maxima owners report spending $3,000 to replace the transmission, typically around when the odometer hits 100,000 miles.
There's a class action lawsuit filed in late 2011, & it is still in the "discovery" stage. Apparently, these things take time ... far too much time.

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
During late winter months, I was stopped because my taillights were out. My headlights, interior lights and navigation system were on. Took it in for oil change and asked the mechanic to look at taillights. He said there was a blown fuse. Replaced the fuse and all was good for the next couple of days. Taillights went out again. I brought it back to the shop. One of the mechanics said he knew someone else with the same problem. There is a short in the electrical system. As it was now getting into Spring and I was not driving at night and was contemplating an new car, I let it ride. Finances did not allow for that.
In early July, check engine light was on. Brought the car in. No one saw anything wrong. Next day the car ran for about 5 miles and then stopping for a light, the car stopped. When I turned off the radio and restarted, I had no problem. I can feel that when I am not pumping the gas pedal, the car sputters and again, at lights, stalls out. It cannot be the battery as the radio, headlights etc. work fine. This is a serious electrical problem. As I am reading this I see that many other people are having the same problem. What can be done???
