I have had many problems that is costing me lots of money now to fix. Five years ago, my distributor cap cracked, reason unknown. Driven by old lady. Because it cracked, it caused water to be able to seep in, causing the car to stall out. Don't know why it would have cracked. Another problem it has is when i went to use the cruise control, springs flew out of it. I had never used it before. Another problem is the axles, cv joints and steering kit. Everything went out on my car. One lead to the next. I can't realign my car because my steering kit and tie rods are shot along with my axles and cv joints. Because of these problems, i have had to replace my tires twice from them wearing down. I would fix it but when i got it all priced, it was almost $2000. I can't afford that.
Electrical problems.
Vehicle's electrical system cuts off and the battery stops feeding to the alternator and the car stalledon the highway 5 times.
Alternator replaced.
The inner seal from distributor cap broke. This could have led to a sudden fire without notice.owner is very concerned.
Ongoing problem for a few years,with numerous visits to dealer and cause of problem cannot be found. When driving the car will stop accelerating, jerk and shudder a couple times as if the car is running out of gas, then suddenly start accelerating once again. Also when slowing down at intersections the engine attempts to shut off but cycles back on. This will continue until gas pedal is depressed racing the engine. Took car to dealer 10/30/2000 had a engine analysis done everything was up to manufactors specs including the timing. Cleaned entire fuel system. Two days later 11/01/2000 problem occurred again.
Difficulty starting car.car will not start.
Vehicle caught fire while parked in driveway of home. It was not running at the time, and hadn't been driven in 6 hours, engine cool. No previous incidents or indications that an electrical problem existed. Fire originated between the battery and the air intake/air cleaner assembly inside the engine compartment. Formal fire investigation conducted by farmers insurance concluded the cause and origin to be a "shorted primary wire" [battery cable] running from the positive post of the battery to engine ground. The primary wire had fused itself to side of the battery tray. The battery cables had not been replaced and were oem nissan equipment. While fire was quickly extinguished and contained solely within the engine compartment the vehicle was none the less a total loss. I'm reporting the incident to bring it to someone's attention in hopes that a thorough examination can be performed on this type of failure to prevent future incidents.

Fuel injection went out on car in sept. 1998, all fuel injections were to be replaced according to nissan, and my receipt shows same. Then on 7/23/99 fuel injection went out again. I was told it was #3 and that it was lead to believe it was still one of the orginal ones. I did not pay the first time, since i had a warranty, and my mileage was only 29914. But 10 months later a fuel injection goes again, and i'm told its #3. If all were replaced, why i am i paying for it, with only 32806 in miles? my receipt states we use nissan genuine parts which carry a 12 month or 12,000 mile. But the fuel injections are supposed to be covered for 36000 miles. At least that is what i was told. I feel i have been mislead. I am very disappointed with nissan.
