i know of the suspension 1, but has nissan given out any more recalls?

 

there was one earlier on the accelerator pedal/stopper...something

 

what does that entail?

 

Some 2k2 Maximas required the rubber accelerator stop to be replaced

 

how do u know if this needs to be done or not?

 

They tell you the VIN numbers that are affected, as well as the manufacturing dates.....

Hope this helps..

Later...

2002 Maxima Odometer Replacement

2002 Maxima Accelerator Pedal Stop






2002 Maxima Odometer Replacement

Applies to 2002 Maxima (A33) - Only GLE w/Traction Control System (TCS), the following Vehicle Identification Number Range: JN1DA31A*2T001240 - 308138.

The number of vehicles potentially affected is approximately 850.
Please review the disclaimer located at the bottom of this page for more instruction.

Reason for Recall
Some 2002 model year Nissan Maxima vehicles contain odometers that are recording the distance traveled in kilometers instead of miles. As a result, the current odometer reading on these vehicles indicate a higher number than the actual miles traveled. To correct this condition, Nissan has initiated a Voluntary Service Campaign to replace the odometer with one showing the correct mileage.

What Nissan Will Do
Nissan will determine if your odometer is reading accurately in miles. This free inspection should take about one hour to complete. However, your dealer may require your Maxima for a longer period depending on his/her work schedule.If your odometer is recording the distance traveled in kilometers instead of miles, your odometer will be replaced with one that records the distance traveled in miles. Since your Nissan dealer is unable to re-calibrate the odometer, a replacement odometer must be ordered from Nissan and this will require that your vehicle be kept overnight at the dealership. If this is the case, your dealer can arrange alternate transportation for you until the replacement odometer is installed. If it is necessary to replace your odometer, the replacement odometer will display a lower number than the current reading. The replacement odometer will be accurately recalibrated in accordance with Federal law, and will reflect the correct vehicle mileage in miles.

What You Should Do
Contact your Nissan dealer and schedule an appointment to have your vehicle inspected. Even if you have not noticed a difference in your mileage, Nissan strongly recommends that you schedule an appointment and have this free of charge inspection and repair, if necessary, performed. Please bring this notice with you to your service appointment.

If the dealer fails, or is unable to make the necessary repairs free of charge, you may contact the National Consumer Affairs Office, Nissan North America, Inc. at P.O. Box 191, Gardena, California 90248-0191. The toll free number is 1-800-NISSAN1 (1-800-647-7261). If you reside in Hawaii, please call 1-808-836-0888.

2002 Maxima Accelerator Pedal Stop

Applies to 2002 Maxima (A33), the following Vehicle Identification Number Range:
JN1DA31**2T 000011 to 001804
JN1DA31**2T 200011 to 204465
JN1DA31**2T 300014 to 308328
JN1DA31**2T 400011 to 419097.

The number of vehicles potentially affected is approximately 30,592.
Please review the disclaimer located at the bottom of this page for more instruction.

Reason for Recall
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic throttle control system. Under usual driving conditions, the stopper for the accelerator pedal will prevent excessive movement of the accelerator position sensor. However, if the driver pushes the pedal to the stopper with overly excessive force while at the same time pushing it to the right, the pedal may "over travel" due to the design of the stopper. This could cause the engine malfunction indicator lamp to come on and the engine speed to be severely limited. If this occurs unexpectedly, it could lead to a crash.

What Nissan Will Do
In order to prevent this incident from occurring, your Nissan dealer will replace the accelerator pedal stopper with a new one. This free service should take about thirty minutes to complete, but your Nissan dealer may require your vehicle for a longer period of time based upon their work schedule.

What You Should Do
As a precaution until a new pedal stopper is installed, do not forcefully push the accelerator pedal all the way down to the stopper. Contact your Nissan dealer at your earliest convenience in order to arrange an appointment to have your vehicle repaired. Please bring this notice with you when you keep your service appointment. Instructions have been sent to your Nissan dealer.

If the dealer fails, or is unable to make the necessary repairs free of charge, you may contact the National Consumer Affairs Office, Nissan North America, Inc. at P.O.

BTW, add those to the control arm recall. That makes 3. BTW, I find it very sad for us 2K2 users that there are NO recalls listed for the Altimas or earlier year Maximas. We got hosed, Tommy, we got hosed.

 

I believe that there is now an airbag recall for the Altima. Would you prefer that Nissan did not notify you if something was wrong? BTW the 3 recalls would only apply to a very small number of Maximas. Only 1 applies to my car.

 

What on earth are you talking about man? I was commenting that we have 3 recalls, whereas on the Nissan site the 01 and 00 Maxs have none. Yes, I know about the Altima airbag deal. And YES of course I want to be notified about recalls. What are you commenting on? Seriously!

 

Dude you've got to chill. Do you really think you've been jobbed in some way because there are 3 recalls on the Max?.. Only 850 GLEs are affected with the odo recall. Initially you said that there are no recalls for the Altima then you say that you knew about the airbag recall. Seriously what are you talking about?

 

I said there are no recalls listed. The control arm one isn't listed either, and it exists. My point was that I have had to bring in my Max twice now for recall work and I've only had it a month. Not so good.

 

Agreed that twice in a month is too much, but if the transverse link recall really tightens the steering wheel play over bumps, I'll consider the trip to the dealer worthwhile. I noticed from day one that the steering felt loose, but attributed it to the stiff suspension. Hope your ownership experience improves.
