What is your question?
B4 buying the car I had it inspected there were no electrical issues I even drove it for 3 days before I made the purchase although it had 166,00miles it felt & looked like it only had 166miles about 4 months later i go to start it & no power. Like I didnt have the fob everything was dead no clicking sounds nothing tried jumping it & it melted my sister's cables as well as cooked my nieghbors little jump pack. Called mechanic he came over said it was alternator he put his jump pack on & stated it put it on flatbed next day I pick it up all good(at least I thought) 3-4days later I was driving put ac on car lost power & died nothing would jump it but heavy duty pack It started he did some quick tests & said it looked good brought it back to mechanic where he said it looked fine long story short im now on 3rd alternator another starter, replaced pcm & bought a 700$ pack No codes it seems to die more on hot days &; in traffic the brake lights & traction control lights come on &dies..
What makes this problem better or worse?
Worse when its hot sitting at a light stall when it turns green
How long has your 2012 Nissan Maxima had this problem?
Couple months runs great 4-5 days then gotta jump it for 2 days straight

Hi - I am Dave, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. Your concern is difficult to guess at. Especially because so much has already been "tried". Any one of the things done already could make things even more difficult to figure out. Replacing a PCM is something I would almost never suggest...you can cause more problems than you solve. A failed alternator will never prevent a car from starting. Period. It may prevent a battery from being charged - but not prevent the car from starting. A known good battery in the vehicle should always start the vehicle, regardless of how the charging system is doing. You really need a professional technician near you to experience your concerns, learn all the history, and figure out what is going on hands on with your vehicle. I do not see any other solution. https://repairpal.com/auto-repair-near-me Click the link to find some shops near you who can help out!
