My maxima has been running okay for the last couple of months. i recently changed my belts and water pump and today the car would not start leaving me stranded at school so i had to tow it for $45 and still have to wait for the mechanic to tell me what is wrong with it. The car just wont turn. everytime i tried to start it, the car would make a clack sound. it sounds like it is coming from the starter side so i think i probably have to replace the starter. But i am just sick and tired of it. i think i will just get rid of it and get another more reliable maxima. i have a had a good 3yrs with it so i think its time to change and i also want a stick shift so might as well.

 

is your battery fully charged???? hook your battery up to a charger for a while and try again

 

the clack sound you hear is the car trying to start on a low battery your mechanic had to mess up your battery by mybe leaveing the doors open for a long period of time it mostly happens with old batterys you will have to get a new one cuz the one you have now wont hold charge anymore
