From my observation of other Maxima's, especially the darker colored ones, this appears to be a common problem.
I have a 2K Maxima and my muffler assembly is leaking exhaust gas. There is small crack/hole right where the pipe is welded to the muffler on the engine side. This pipe is part of the muffler assembly and I don't feel like replacing the whole thing right now. I bought this exhaust patch in a form of a cream or greaze for $2 in AutoZone and it's supposed to dry up and weld the crack for good. Anyone had any experience with these cream patches at all? Is it going to work?
Patches tend not to work because vibrations loosen them up. You could probably cobble something together with patch material and clamps, etc. but it's a short term fix and not so safe, since you don't want gases leaking into your car's interior. You can't smell CO.
If you didn't have a mechanic check it out, and it didn't come with a 30 day warranty, chalk it up to a learning experience, fix what's wrong and enjoy your car.

I do appreciate your response. I took the car to Autozone today and they were great - ran the diagnostics and came up with the codes P0325 and P0138 (02 sensor and knock sensor). The person at Autozone said he thought the 02 sensor probably was the reason for the knock sensor code and once the 02 sensor was fixed, the other code would go away too. He reset the engine light and so far it hasn't come back on. Not sure if a bad tank of gas or loose gas cap could give a diagnostic code of 02 sensor, but I'll wait to see if the light comes back on and if it does, I'll get it fixed. Thanks.

O2 sensors can be getting shabby, but not fail entirely, so resetting it seems to be the way I would go for while. Monitor things, and if needed replace the sensor. My 2000 has three O2's, hope you can ID the one that is bad.
Enjoy the car, hopefully you'll have a good one.

I don't believe it has anything to do with the linkage, but the selenoid that wont let you shift out of park unless your foot is on the brake. It's hard to diagnose it because it only happens once in awhile. Do selenoids do this? Anyone have any advise?
Well, my wife has been driving that car for the past three years (since I got a new car). :P she has not complained about this problem at all. She might be lucky all this time.
The transmission will begin to downshift when driving at cruising speed.
The only brake interlock I'm familiar with is when you have brake lights out, you have to overide the park selection using the key in the transmission. Mine's an 01, your 95 may be different. :confuse:
Also I try to read the codes in the ECM and now the engine light is blinking in intervals from 1 to 5.
HELP ME PLEASE I AM DESPERATE! :sick:
thanks
