Consumer Description

I DRIVE A 2000 NISSAN MAXIMA THAT CURRENTLY HAS 48000 MILES ON IT. I DEVELOPED AN ENGINE PING AT 45000 MILES AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR SEVICE. THEY REPLACED ALL 6 COIL PACKS AND AIR SOMETHING OR OTHER AT A COST OF $1300.00. I HAVE DRIVEN IT 5000 MORE MILES AND I ONCE AGAIN HAVE AN ENGINE PING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER A SECOND TIME TO WHICH THEY TOLD ME I WAS A QUART LOW ON OIL AND THAT WOULD CAUSE A PING. THEY DID AN OIL & FILTER CHANGE. I WAS PLEASED AS I DROVE AWAY AND HEARD NO ENGINE PING, HOWEVER ABOUT 30 MILES LATER IT CAME BACK. THEIR THEORY OF BEING 1 QUART LOW ON OIL IS NOT CORRECT. I DECIDED TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM ON THE NET, AND SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN'S. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP FIX AND I THINK NISSAN SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THIS AS IT SHOULD NOT BE A CONSUMER FIX.
