problem #1

Nov 102003

Maxima 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles
Recently, one ignition coil failed. My Nissan dealer told me that since one failed, all of them would need to be replaced because they would probably all fail soon after the first one failed. If dealers can't keep replacement ignition coils in stock because so many of them are failing on the Maxima, then shouldn't it be a recall. It cost me over $800 to have them replaced. Also, if I press the unlock button too many times on my wireless key remote, the windows roll down partially. Does anyone else think that's an odd and annoying thing that shouldn't be happening. Hello, recall!
