| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Engine coils - i recently discovered that i have an engine coil problem in my 99 nissan maxima. i found this very disturbing considering when i purchased this car it was one of the leaders when it came to engine performance. what i found even more disturbing was when the dealer informed me that they usually go out around this time, which does not seem to be normal to me. especially given the amount of replacement costs. i spent some time on the internet and discovered this is a reoccuring problem and there is even a petition for it. this makes me rethink my choice of purchasing a nissan for reliability. especially, given that nissan is not standing by their product and ensuring this problem is rectified for the customer at no additional costs. i am a loyal nissan customer and have gotten several individuals to purchase nissan's however this experience is changing my outlook completely. in closing, i would like to mention that when i looked for recall information on nissan's website it was surprising to see the comments "we're our own toughest critics", if this is true why aren't the number of people experiencing my problem being taken care of, why are engine coils a reoccurring issues that the consumer have to bear the expense for? i will be escalating this matter, but wanted to lodge a complaint here as well. i do not think that a human life should be sacrificed in order to catch the eye of a manufacturer when it comes to vehicle performance.*ak |
