Three of four original equipment window regulators have failed in the car. The dealer indicated that it was a known problem with the model year. The dealer indicated that the high pressure fuel line was not a very good design as well. They indicated that the heat from the motor caused the rubber to break down, and that's why strong fuel odors could be detected when using the defrost on cold mornings.
1994 Nissan Maxima fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle blew a fuel injector . Vehicle was leaking gasoline. Vehicle is currently at the dealership.*ak when the customer started to drive, the RPM became erratic with no power on acceleration before this, check the engine light was on. There was strong smell of gas because the injector solnoid failed and burnt out the injector resulting in fuel/gas leak. The injector is defective.
While driving there was a smell of gas in the vehicle. Vehicle was taken to a repair shop, and fuel filter was replaced. The manfacturer was contacted concernig recall 95v24400/ fuel tank assembly: filler:neck. But, this vehicle was not included undr recall due to VIN.
In discussions with the dealer and nissan, ethanol in the fuel is hinted at as a cause of the failures to the fuel hoses as well as 4 of 6 fuel injectors. The injectors have failed one by one, starting at 47k miles with the latest at 67k miles. I am sure the last two will also fail.
Fuel leakage at injector seals (3 places) resulted in engine compartment fire.
Fuel leak @/on the rubber hose where the fuel line connects to the ejector rail. Detected leak when air temperature dropped to less than 40f and engine was started. Gasoline spot 6" dia 1/4"deep left on carport concrete. Fuel leak is on the rubber hose where the fuel line connects @ the injector rail. (left side of engine) leaks when ignition activates fuel pump and continues until hose is warmed to make flexible and seal break in hose. This gas leaks onto electrical wiring and "hot" engine parts. As this happens only on start-up with cold weather, could go unnoticed until igniting or accident.
