My day couldnt get any worse... To start off I have two annoying problems that happened to me this morning (as you can tell by my topic). This morning as a I was parking my car to go to school, I noticed I can't turn the steering wheel of my car, it was really really tight to turn, so i couldnt even park correctly. So I decided to pull into a Pep Boys parking lot and park there till I get out school, which isnt a very long time. Now at this time I was frustrated because it was 6 in the morning and I didnt feel like dealing with this, so out of frustration I slammed my driver door harder than usual, then when the impact happened my driver side window like fell down, so I am like what the **** now. I go back to see if I can pull my window up and with my luck and turn of events I can't, if I push the window down button and then I push up I hear a clicking noise coming from the window slot thing... I didnt know what to do cuz nothing was opened and I was pissed and I was in a rush, so I left it there stranded with the driver side door down and see if I can talk to one of the Pep Boys guys when I come back. I think for the steering wheel problem I need power steering fluid (I could be wrong) but the window thing I am clueless. I have no idea how my window got like that, I usually close my door pretty normal all the time and out of the chances it happens now? Any suggestions/ideas?

 

To all the sudden lose power steering,i would look at the drive belts,maybe the p/s belt has broke...But check the fluid level first..

The window problem is pretty simple...You need a new window regulator...

 

 

Si senor

window regulator breaks SOOK!

 

you got'sta loooooove the maxima.




or beat the **** out of her until all the problems surface and then fix them.

 

ahahahh and thats the reason for me to get a new clutch!!

 

new clutches are fun. got a ACT HDSS kit on its way.

 

yeah since i read about those exedys blowing up...

gonna get an ACT clutch

 

Knock it off you postwhoring bozos...

 

if the power steering getting stiff happened with no noise first chances are its a belt.
not like it really matters, just pop the dam hood and look the fluid resrvoir and the belt are next to each other, you can check both without even taking a step

 

Ohhh! the window regulator!! I wish I had known about this forum when mine break about 2 years ago, i have no idea and took it to a body shop to fix it and they need to order it and will take 7 days, and labor was 200 bucks and I was like WTF!!! so got one from autozone I strip my door and do it myself, no diagrams and no info, first time stripping my door was a pain in the A** but hey I saved the 200 right? anyways I love my Maxima even with this kind of issues that you get used to it. Good Luck

 

Well I just came back from Pep Boys they said I needed 3 new hoses (forgot which ones, im in a rush will name them later), a new thermostat, and a coolant flush. They also said that antifreeze was leaking or something like that...Does this sound about right just cause my steering was tight? Or did they give me like a whole car diagnosis, cuz I only mentioned my window (which they cant do) and steering wheel problem. Anyways... the price came to about $440 including tax. I said I would come back later and fix it, I tried to look for other places for my window but I dont know where there are Auto glass places. I am gonna check out another place I know to try to get it cheaper, if not I will get it fixed at Pep Boys

Oh almost forgot, when I got my car back my steering was tight at first but on the way home it got loose back to normal...probably temporarily... is this weird?

 

last car I had that problem on it needed a new rack
