Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: In late october my "check engine" light came on. i took my vehicle to foreign automotive and they ran a scan of my engine. the feed back showed that the code showed that my ignition coil(s) were going out and needed to be replaced. the owner of the business did a search for service recalls or service bulletins on 2000 nissan maxima's and found a service bulletin dated september 6, 2001 that showed that the ignition coils installed in certain vins were faulty and needed to be replaced. the owner of the shop called nissan and asked if they were paying for the coils and they indicated they were not going to pay for the coils or the service. the shop re-set my "check engine" light and i told them i would get the coils replaced later in the year. within a couple of days my "check engine" light came back on and my engine started "knocking". i decided to get the coils replaced. when the shop ordered the coils, two of the 6 were on back order because of the number of failures of these coils.*ak
