| Description of the problem | This is problem #1: (i had so far 4/5 major problems) purchased 2004 nissan maxima brand new. Within 2 months of driving this car, the thermostat kept registering at h, pinned at h. When i took it to the dealership in huntington, ny, they could not find the problem. Was told, when it pinns at hot again, bring the car in. Well, when i driving to work and the thermostat was pinned at hot again, i called the dealership to tell them and the receptionist said i could not bring my car in, it was not an emergency. I informed her that i don't know what type of problem this can be and what if my engine ceases? She said there was nothing i can do, and i can come in next week. I drove there anyway, and had to grab a mechanic to see that my car thermostat was indeed pinned at hot. It turned out to be a "electrical" problem and they had to replace the entire thermostat, and dash board. Also, while all my problems were going on, my trunk pops open when i reverse every now and then. Of course, the wonderful mechanics at the service dept in huntington could not duplicate the problem.. What a surprise?? *nm |
