Maxima 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,000 miles
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. 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.
