VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
IN THE PAST FOUR WEEKS WE HAVE REPLACED THREE OUT OF THE FOUR POWER WINDOW REGULATORS ON OUR 1993 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE POWER WINDOWS, ESPECIALLY IN THE REAR, GET VERY LITTLE USE. IT HAS COST OVER $500 IN PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE THESE PARTS. INOPERABLE POWER WINDOW REGULATORS CAUSE A THREAT TO THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND ITS PASSENGERS.*AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
UPON PLACING MY DAUGHTERS CARSEAT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BACKSEAT THE SEATBELT FELL COMPLETELY APART. THEREFORE THAT MAKES ME THINK SOMETHING IS FAULTY WITH IT. IF IT CAME APART THAT EASILY FROM ME TRYING TO BUCKLE IN THE CARSEAT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SOMEONE HIT ME. MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE KILLED IF THIS HAD HAPPEN IN A COLLISION. I F MY CAR DID THIS HOW MANY OTHERS WILL IT HAPPEN TO AND WILL ANY CHILDREN HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE. I ONLY WANT FOR MY FAMILY TO BE SAFE AND THEREFORE I TRY TO DO THE RIGHT THING BY PLACING MY DAUGHTER IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BACK SEAT.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:INJECTORS
TWO OF THE SIX FUEL INJECTORS APPEAR WET AND SMELL OF GASOLINE. I BELIEVE THEY ARE LEAKING A SMALL AMOUNT OF GAS. THE CAR ACCELERATES POORLY. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 95I006000 COVERED 686,649 NISSAN MAXIMAS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JUL 1984 THROUGH JUL 1989. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND WAS TOLD THIS SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN DID NOT COVER MY 1984 NISSAN MAXIMA. THEY COULD NOT ANSWER ME WHY MY FUEL INJECTORS WERE CONSIDERED SAFE BUT THE FUEL INJECTORS OF MAXIMAS BUILT IN THE FIVE YEARS AFTER MY CAR WAS BUILT WERE POSSIBLY UNSAFE. MY FUEL INJECTORS ARE LEAKING. I AM REQUESTING THAT A NISSAN DEALER REPLACE MY MAXIMA'S FUEL INJECTORS AND RELATED HOSES. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT FROM THE 686,649 NISSAN MAXIMAS THAT WERE AFFECTED BY THIS SAFETY CAMPAIGN. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HOLDING 1ST GEAR UNTIL 5000-6000 RPMS. RIDES FINE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION REQUIRING REPLACEMENT, INCLUDING NEW RADIATOR & LABOR AT A COST OF $3,600. DEALER FAILED TO MENTION THE TSBS ASSOCIATED WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. PERHAPS, ADDRESSING THE ISSUES OUTLINED IN THE TSB WOULD MITIGATE THE PROBLEM I.E., A/T SOLENOID REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE. NISSAN POWERTRAIN WARRANTY IS 5 YEAR OR 60K. AUTO HAS 52K ORIGINAL HIGHWAY MILES. CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE TO REQUEST LIBERAL INTERPRETATION OF WARRANTY POLICY IN LIGHT OF THE LOW MILEAGE. *AK
