| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On thursday, march 16, 2006 at approximately 10:15am i went out to my driveway and started my 1998 nissan maxima. upon starting there was a terrible grinding noise. i turned the car off and restated it at which time the car began smoking. i drove the car directly to my independent service station (approximately 1/4 mile ) for them to check the vehicle. upon opening the hood, we observed fire, which was extinguished. further observation confirmed that the alternator had caught fire and the service station made the repairs. the old parts are available for inspection. as there is a recall on some 1998 nissan maxima's for this problem i can't understand why this matter is being taken so lightly. the next time this occurs, the results could be tragic. *nm |
