Trouble Spots for the Maxima

Here are some known problems that can happen to the 4th gen max. I don't know if this has been posted before or not.


Automatic transmission: The original automatic-transmission (model F04) shift solenoids allowed slipping and premature wear. (1997)

Brake noise: Rear brakes rattle on rough road. (1995)

Brake noise: Groaning from the rear brakes is caused by the parking brakes not fully releasing, requiring new brake cables and pads. (1995-99)

Brake noise: Groaning from rear brakes at slow speeds may be due to binding parking brake cable. 1995-99)

Clutch: The clutch may slip when accelerating hard in 4th or 5th gear due to a problem with the friction material. (1995)

Engine knock: Spark knock or ping may result from a defective onboard computer. (1995-97)

Engine noise: Noise from the front of the engine may be caused by excessive play in the timing chain for which a new tensioner and chain guide are required. (1995-96)

Hard starting: Hard starting, stalling, or stumbling under load could be caused by corrosion of the coolant sensor. (1995-96)

Hard starting: If the engine does not start on the first attempt, the engine may crank very slowly on the second attempt because of a problem with the engine-control computer. (1995)

Rough idle: Several problems (no-start, no A/C, rough running, etc.) can be traced to broken wires in the engine compartment where the harness bends near the right strut tower. (1995-97)

Rough idle: Rough running engine accompanied by check engine light may require revised powertrain control module. (1997)

Don't forget the knock sensor, thermostat, STARTER, there are many more common problems with our fourth gens. I never experienced any of the above.

apparently we have a saturday night thread flamer, how special. Besides, you must post nothing short of a dissertation. If anyone has any idea of what you are talking about, they will put it in your face that it is already known.
