NHTSA Complaint #10260738 — 1999 NISSAN MAXIMA

I PURCHASED A 1999 NISSAN MAXIMA GLE 4 DOOR AND THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND HAD A "COLD PULL" PERFORMED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE SPARK PLUG ON CYLINDER 5 WAS "TRIGGERING" THE KNOCK SENSOR RESULTING IN THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT TO BE ON. I WENT ON THE INTERNET FOR MORE INFO ABOUT THE KNOCK SENSOR AND THE SPARK PLUGS FOR THIS CAR AND SEEN MORE COMMENTS FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE SAME CAR. COMMENTS STATING THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND THE COILS AND IT WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX FOR THE RECURRING ISSUE. THIS IS THE FIRST CAR I HAVE OWNED AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THE CAR ENSURED THAT THE MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR WAS UP-TO-DATE. FOR THIS CAR TO BE TEN YEARS OLD IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, (KBB VALUE $4500), ASIDE FROM THE SPARK PLUG AND KNOCK SENSOR ISSUE. WILL THERE BE A RECALL TO SERVICE THE THOUSANDS OF 1999 NISSAN MAXIMA'S WITH THIS ISSUE? I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY ANYWHERE FROM $800 - $1,000 TO HAVE ALL OF THE COILS REPLACED AS WELL AS THE SPARK PLUGS, ONLY FOR IT TO BE A TEMPORARY RESOLUTION TO THE RECURRING ISSUE. I AM ON A FIXED INCOME (SS) AND AFTER PAYING FOR MEDICAL EXPENSES, CAR INSURANCE, LIVING COSTS, I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR A TEMPORARY RESOLUTION. PLEASE RECALL THE 1999 NISSAN MAXIMA'S, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL CAR. *TR
