I have been experiencing problems since Christmas of 08' with my Nissan Maxima. I have taken it in to the dealership numerous times and they keep telling me they can find nothing wrong with the car.
Finally my check engine light comes on while at a stop light, and the engine begins to rev up as if I am pressing the accelerator. Later found out the catalytic convertor is gone.
Has anyone else had this problem? The cost is over 1100.00 to repair.
NO! Under federal law your catalytic converters are covered under an 8 year/ 80,000 mile emissions warranty. You should not be paying for the replacement of those catalytic converters.
I just took my 2005 Maxima SE into the shop today and they told me my Catalytic Converter needs to be replaced along with a CO2 sensor. I was having the same issues. The car would rev up while sitting at a stop light.
It seems this has been an on-going issue with the Maxima, you should see all the posts for the 2001-2002 Maxima; they all have had to replace both the converter, CO2 sensors and coils. I think I may be trading this car in before my 100,000 mile warranty is up.
