Hey Marc what was the problem? I also have the same issue but I am getting a cylinder misfire code (P0302). Are you on the nycmaximas forums? Hit me up on there if you are. I am grimmax.
shit man i have an 02 maxima and it sounds just like that i do an oil change and it calms down for a sec then right back to that if you got yours fix and no the problem let me now
I'm suprised you're not having transmission issues. That's another common problem. I hope you take Nissan to small claims court and win. I drive a 4th Gen (1995-1999) maxima. It's been a great car and I've been a fan of Nissan ever since. Not anymore. I'll keep my Maxima and will NOT be inconveniencing myself with any of their new products.
That's the noise of Renault's efforts in cutting costs for Nissan. Why spend more for a quality part when that cost can be passed to the customer. More than likely that noise is the timiing chain tensioner. The reason they go bad is because whoever Nissan decided to pay to supply their tensioners used a very thin and cheap plastic on the shoes of the tensioner. As the chain slides across it it wears it down easily.
2day when u buy a Nissan, ur buying a Renault's lack of quality.
Maxima used to be one of the most trouble-free cars. Not anymore!! Not since RENAULT partnered with Nissan in 1999. The 4th gen maxims ( 1995-1999) where the last of the stellar reliable ones. Google "Renault reliability". Renaults do not build their cars to last without problems. The Renault Alliance had black dots in CR in nearly every category. Same as with the Eagle Premier which was basically a Renault.
me too i have the same problem like you . may you late me know when you know how to fix it ? thank you
