Consumer Description

I HAVE A 99 NISSAN MAXIMA AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THIS WEEK. THE LOCAL GARAGE DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND FOUND CODES FOR KNOCK SENSOR AND IGNITION SIGNAL. THE LOCAL GARAGE WAS PUZZLED BECAUSE THEY'VE NEVER SEEN A KNOCK SENSOR FAIL BEFORE. CALLED 2 LOCAL NISSAN DEALERS AND BOTH SAY IT'S IGNITION COILS (AND THE KNOCK SENSOR WAS OK) AND UNLESS THE DIAGNOSTIC SAYS WHICH ONE WENT BAD I'D HAVE TO REPLACE THEM ALL FOR $600 TO $800 BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND WONDER WHAT IT WOULD TAKE FOR A RECALL? *NLM
