I have read many horrific stories about peoples ignition coils going bad....I have a feeling my coils are headed for doom soon. I have a 2001 Maxima gle, love the car, but Nissan really needs to do a recall on this. Just because of this and many other problems I've had, I don't think I would ever buy a Nissan again. Go Honda!!

Recently the "check engine soon" light came on. I took it to a Nissan dealership service department. They ran a diagnostic test and said one coil failed but they recommended replacing all six ignition coils, because the other ones will fail one by one soon.
