Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / March 2008'97 starter noise
My 1997 Maxima recently started making a noise when I start it up. It doesn't always happen and it's unpredictable. After the car starts and I release the key there's sometimes a half-second or a second of a high pitched whirring noise. I guess it's a problem with the bendix releasing or something. I took it to the Nissan dealer and sure enough, they couldn't get it to make the noise. They said that in any case there's nothing for them to oil or whatever and that the only thing they could do would be to replace the starter (for $400). Is replacing the starter the only solution? Do I need to do it soon? I'd rather put it off but I don't want to be stranded somewhere. > My 1997 Maxima recently started making a noise when I start it up.

Fortunately you can greatly improve or fix the problem. Remove the starter and take apart/clean the bendix part of the starter. Regrease it and it will work much better. There is more info linked on www.maxima.org. Dave > > My 1997 Maxima recently started making a noise when I start it up. It > > doesn't always happen and it's unpredictable.
