2002 Maxima CD radio problems

[Kfocht]

I have a 2002 Maxima GLE, with a factory installed Bose stereo and 6-CD
changer. If I playing a CD and I brake or go over a bump, the left speakers
will short out. The sound will not return until I go over another bump or
accelerate. I've had the car in twice now, and they finally agreed to
replace the stereo. However, in the past two months, I have been give
various excuses as to why they still do not have replacement radio for me!
The latest story I was given, is that there is a problem with this stereo
and there is a backlog of customers waiting for replacement radios. Has
anyone else experienced this problem?

Regards,
Kathy

Kathy,

I have a 96 with a similar problem. When I would make a quick right turn, I
would lose the right channel. This was only an issue for the CD player
(in-dash, not changer) and not the radio or cassette player. One day this
happened and and I realized that the problem was a physical problem. My
thinking was that if (making a right turn) momentum forced something to the
left, trying to force something to the right would fix the problem. Since I
was already mad about this, I beat the right side of the console with my
fist. This solved the problem every time. Sometimes I would get an error
on the player. All I had to do is eject and reinsert. This is not a
recommendation, I am just telling you what worked for me.

Interestingly enough, this was more of a problem when I lived in Texas.
When I moved to PA a few years ago, I had the problem less frequently. I
moved to MA last year and can't remember the last time it happened.

Holy cow! I thought I was the only one! I have an 02 Max with the Bose
and it started doing the same thing. It was not just the CD player
though, but radio and tape as well. I thought it was just a loose speaker
wire, and checked around and couldn't find a single thing wrong. Then
after a few weeks of actually aiming for potholes to get the driver's side
speakers to come on, I took it to the dealer who told me the whole radio
needed to be replaced. It took a few weeks for the radio to come in, but
they replaced it in a few hours. No cost to me.

One strange thing, the new Bose system actually sounds much better than
the old one (and I mean before the speaker problem started). I used to
have to pump up the bass and treble (+2 and +1, respectively), but if I do
that now it's too much bass and treble. Maybe they incorporated a few new
fixes in the fixed model.
