Problems with 2000 Nissan Maxima SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

Problems with vehicle's ignition coils, brake caliper, pads and rotors.*mr the vehicle ignition coil failed at 37000 miles. all six coils were replaced. one week later the left rear brake caliper locked up. all four rotors and brake pads were replaced at 36200 miles. the consumer feels the repairs may have been covered under a service bulletin 624020 for the ignition and service bulletin 618790 for the brakes. the consumer seeks reimbursement for the cost of the repairs. *nm

Front rotors/pads completely wore out. consumer replaced them three times in just 40, 000 miles. *ak rotors resurfaced twice by dealer. once on 11/19/01 at 16252 miles. second was on 04/29/02 at 21510 miles. the third was 10/10/03 at 40000 miles. this repair was by a private motor shop. *ph

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.*ak

I purchased a used 2000 nissan maxima that had 28,000 miles on it almost 3 years ago. i have only put 6,000 miles on the car, but have had problems with the check engine light being on almost continuously since i purchased the vehicle. i took it to my regular mechanic when it had to pass smog inspection. he temporarily fixed the engine light problem, but soon as i accelerated over 50 miles per hour, the light came on again. i have also had problems with the brakes, which had to be completely replaced twice, the ignition (car wouldn't start), and, a problem with the car when downshifting (engine seizes up violently). there is also a suspension problem, as car makes loud noise every time i have to go over speed bumps. my son is ready to get his driver's license, and i will have to get rid of this car at a loss, as i do not feel the car is safe for him to drive. *jb

The vehicles rotors warped prematurely. the dealer has been notified. *nlm

Front brake rotors have been fixed 3 times within 30,000 miles. the car was shaking and vibrating when driving above 55 mph.*ak

Brake rotors warped after 20,000 miles. i have had them replaced 3 times because they were too warped to turn. *la

The front rotors warp about every 12,000 miles. each time, the dealer has either replaced or re-surfaced the rotors. this is a known defect, and nissan hasn't corrected the issue. so far, my rotors have been serviced 4 times, and now coming on number 5. *la

While driving about any mph could step on brakes pedal to stop or to slow down, but brakes will not operate. could feel pedal pulsing. had taken vehicle for repairs before on pads and rotors. currently, same repair needed to be done.*ak
