| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2000 nissan maxima se. it has 50k miles on it presently. in july 2003 the check engine light came on with 35k miles on it. i took the car to the local dealer for repair. the dealer stated that one of the six iginition coils went bad. it was replaced at no charge. on 05/11/05 on my way home from work the check engine light came on. i took the the car to the same local dealer that i did in 2003. the local dealer said i had the same problem of an iginition coil gone bad. i was asked to pay a $89.95 up front fee to diagnose the problem. i informed the dealer that when i originally purchased the car i also paid for an extended warranty. i was told by the service department that it was a good thing that i had purchased the extended warranty because the iginition coils go bad on the maxima model frequently. the service department told me that once the old ignition coils are replaced they do not go bad anymore. i only have an extended warranty until 85k. after that, if any of my other iginition coils go bad it will be out of pocket expense. if the problem is as bad as the dealer's service department stated, then i feel nissan should recall the iginition coils and replace them all. |
