Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Defective ignition coils in many/most 2000-2003 nissan maxima's (mine included) is not being reconciled in good faith by nissan. nissan has been aware of this issue for many years -(cars sputter and fail to accelerate creating high-risk situations) but will not assist with cost to repair or replace defective parts (ignition coils). repair work typically costs owners $600-900. i purchased as a "certified" used car but apparently that meant nothing for this specific problem. a petition for a recall per this issue is at the following web address: http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?nis_ign. *jb
