Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 99 nissan maxima se and i wish i had known about this website before purchasing. after reading the multiple and consistent complaints regarding the flashing "airbag" and "check engine soon" lights, i can't believe there has not been a recall. the defects reported are the same on each individual 99 maxima listed. my vehicle has 90,000 miles on it, no wrecks, regular maintanence as recommended and have spent way too much money on repairs for sensors, cylinder failure and now the airbag malfunction! the service folks want $600.00 to fix that. i have read the technical notices that went out and obviously the defects were not corrected on the cars whose owners are filing the complaints now. i also have a 1993 maxima with 217,000 miles on it. i have now spent more money in repairs on the 1999 that i have had for 2 years than i ever did on the 1993 in the entire 13 years i have owned it! the 1999 model obviously has some serious failures. again, review the technical notices! nissan needs to step up to the plate and do the right thing. if not a recall, then at the very least take care of the ones here who have taken their time, energy and money and fix the defects at nissan's expense. if not then i'm with the guy whose next purchase will be a honda or a toyota! *nm
