This sounds like you may need to change your spark plugs. I am not sure of your fuel of choice, but 93 which is a high octane should work better, and dont for get to warm the engine before driving.

Sounds as if you need the electrical portion of the ignition switch. The contacts inside are most likely worn out.

First check the fuse, then the power window switch, then the power window motor. More than likely it's the power window switch.

SOURCE: my nissan navara keeps loosing

sounds like the bearings in your fuel pump are going. These bearing are undoubtedly not replaceable without replacing the entire fuel pump.

Fix: replace fuel pump.
Difficulty of fix: moderately advanced. You have to jack up car, drain the tank at the fuel tank drain
and then disconnect fuel lines (3), unbolt the (always rusty) bolts holding the tank, then go at the fuel pump replacement procedure, remembering to replace the fuel pump gasket.

If your car has a hatch in the top of the tank for fuel pump replacement (Hondas do), then use that access to get to the part - otherwise pull the gas tank and replace it that way, While you're in there, replace fuel filter(s) and strainer too (as a matter of course).

If the problem were clogged fuel filter, you'd experience loss of power going uphill, and it would not be able to made to "come back" by mashing on the gas pedal.

Drives with not the same power cause the ECM goes into limp mode, you need to have the ECM scanned for codes and problem rectified.

Year-old battery dead. Jump started fine, but security light stayed on solid while driving. Shut car off & battery dead again.

Sounds like there's a problem in the charging system. It could be as simple as a loose fanbelt, or as major as a bad alternator. I have a very similar car, 2004 Infiniti I35, same engine/alternator, and my alternator went bad in November. Replacement is a pain, the book calls for removal of the AC compressor, though my mechanic pulled the radiator instead.

Maxima - terrible vibrations in low speed

A bad tire, a loose wheel, a loose tie rod end, a bent rim, (tire balance at higher speeds), a piece of rust or whatever caught between the rim and brake rotor, or between the brake rotor and hub. Have you done anything to it prior to this starting?

I had this issue and it was one of my winter tires about to blow out, showing signs of weakness.. hopefully this helps!

Power Steering Problem

Suggestion - Sounds like a problen that the dealer should address asap. One of those sudden jerks can be strong or long enough to put you on you roof or in a head-on collision. I'm sorry to have to decline remedy but pleased to give this reccommendation. Be safe and good luck
