Consumer Description

DEFECTIVE IGNITION COILS. WHEN I BOUGHT MY 99 MAXIMA THE DEALER SUPPOSEDLY "FIXED" THE PROBLEM. BY NOT EVEN A WEEK AFTER I HAD THE CAR THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND RESET THE COMPUTER. THIS WENT ON ABOUT 3-4 TIMES UNTIL THE WARRANTY WAS UP, THEN THEY FOUND THAT THE #6 IGNITION COIL WAS BAD. AFTER THAT WAS REPLACED, A MONTH DID NOT GO BY BEFORE THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN. THIS TIME THE #4 IGNITION COIL WAS BAD. AFTER GETTING THAT ONE REPLACED, LITERALLY NOT EVEN 5 HRS WENT BY BEFORE THE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN...I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER YET. BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM...I SPEND OVER $200 EACH TIME I HAVE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *JB
