What owners wrote
Consumer turned off engine and noticed smoke, the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was determined that the wire on the electronic motor mount wiring caught on fire and burned.
I have had a continuous problem with my 2001 nissan maxima cold start sensor and the dealer says no recall has been issued. Has anyone else reported this problem? Also, I was never sent a recall for the suspension, control arm: lower arm. Is it to late to have this replaced? Why was I not contacted or why dealer didn't notify me? What can I do because my front end is making noises?
