We have a 1991 nissan maxima. On tuesday, dec. 13, 2004 it burned up under the hood and melted everything to a crisp. The fire department said they were not sure if it was the fuel injector that caused it to ignite. We were on our way to school, and it smelled like gas fumes, then it quelled down, about 10 minutes later it started to smoke. We opened the trunk first to get a rag and then the hood turned black, and in 1 minute. It started to blaze. None of the body of the car was damaged except the hood, and everything under it melted to a crisp. Could this be a defect please give me a guess. Thanks for your time. *ak

Power steering hose split...Replaced part...Currently experiencing very loud noise and "burnt" smell coming from power steering pump...When fluid in pump is replaced, the color of the fluid becomes black in no time; also experiencing strong gas fumes inside car esp. When heat or a/c is turned on; front seat belts do not function properly...Either too tight or too loose...Seat belt light & chime goes on and off all the time; driver's seat has broken...Had it repaired; driver's side windows will not go down; sunroof leaks when it rains; hood latch does not allow hood to close properly, while the hydrolics under the hood will not keep the hood up when opened...Hood slammed down onto service tech's arm and onto anothers head; sometimes vibrates loud when braking; high-pitch clitter-clatter coming from rt-frt wheel; odometer will not work after several attempts to fix; battery acid drip damage on starter; transmission dis-mounted, had replaced, but currently experiencing oil leakage @ main seal; cv joints, ball bearings, axle, clutch assembly, all replaced at least 3-4 times. Ok...If that's not enough, i don't know what is...I am hoping for some recall info on the fuel leakage and seatbelt issues! I have no fundage left for anymore repairs. My 10 year old son is a frequent passenger in this vehicle...I am seeking any info on how to make this car more safe for us on the roads...Until i can afford to purchase another car. (also, car alarm goes off every time doors are locked; and headlights will not brighten, they stay on dim...When switch is clicked at column, headlights completely go out!). *ak
