1992 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"A powerful quality machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
-Engine makes "Ticking" noise
-Window actuator failed
-Air Bag lamp illuminated
General comments?
The ticking noise started out as just an annoyance when the car was started, then as time went by it started sounding like a Diesel and the noise didn't go away when it was warmed up. After a noticable loss of power I finally had it looked at. Becasue the VTC's had failed, it burnt the lifters which were causing the noise. $1200 repair to the engine. Nissan has come out with a retro-fit to fix the "ticking noise", fix it before it becomes really expensive!
-Shut the driver side door, window fill into the door..$100.
-Air bag lamp... still blinking.
