Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My vehicle,a 1999 nissan maxima was experiencing a severe engine misfire condition. i took it to a mechanic and was informed that the ignition coils were defective and would need to be replaced. i was told that the dealer just happened to have plenty in stock as this was a common part failure with this model. i ordered the new and improved parts with a total price of around $ 500.00. i am amazed at what a widespread problem this is with the ignition coils and yet nissan has accepted no responsibility for this defective part. i like nissans but i'm afraid if they don't step up to the plate i will be looking at a honda for my next car purchase. *nm
