Maxima SE 2002 Problems
Ok... Having a few problems with my Maxima.
1) It doesn't pull like it used to... Doesn't shift when it normally would shift and sometimes takes 5-7 stomps to get it to shift gears.
2) The brake light turns on randomly under coasting and driving and goes away when I tap on the breaks fast... then comes back 10 seconds later.
3) It feels like my ****ing car FLOATS now when going 100-120mph... Its a really gay feeling... Feels like I'm on water and bobbing around like a moron, also not very safe.
4) Wind noise... It's getting worse... Its ****ing me off badly.
5) Road noise is also getting worse, even my Ford Escort 95 with 140k miles is quieter.
6) Installed an OBX Strut Bar and now the left windshield sprayer doesn't work, no matter how I move the bar it doesn't fix it... Any other way of fixing it?

maybe 1-3 and 5 have to do with your accident?
i think #4 might just be in your head since you noticed all of this other stuff going on.
#6, your fault. you know the cause and the effect so go back and try to correct it

jeez...thats alot of proglems. But if you had an accident, the car never FULLY recovers so that could be the problem. Sorry to hear about probs with ur max. Road noise, wind noise, maybe ur just paying more attention to it. Same with the floating. I dunno about the rest. Take out the strut?

I've removed and reinstalled the bar 28 times in the last few days... No matter which position or how I do it it cuts off the sprayer... Any way to replace with lines that are thicker or reroute them somewhere else (like more to the left)?
Also... When going in reverse the car makes a low growling noise... I don't know if this is normal.
Anyone with an Auto 2k2 live in Southern California and would let me listen to the car while they drive?

In the last 2 months I've "test-drove" about... 26 cars... And the 6SPD 2K2 I "test drove" 4 times in one week 
I don't think they'll let me drive another for a while.
OH YA! I'm going to Orange tommorow, I can test drive one there... Haven't terrorized those dealers yet.
