| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Our 2000 maxima about 1 month ago started running rough for a short period of time on and off every 2 weeks. this week the engine service light came on. after researching the problem on the internet i discovered that many other maxima owners have had this problem. the ignition coil are going bad. a nissan design flaw. i have only 46900 miles on my car. this should not happen. my nissan dealer wants $105.00 per ignition coil plus installation. over $800.00 i told him i will never pay that price. i have taken it to midas. they will purchase the coils and install them at a much less labor cost. i will never by another nissan as i feel they had a defective parts doomed to fail. i am penalized for not driving more miles before the warranty expired. i can order on line these coils for $65.00 each from another nissan dealer. what makes me aggravated my local dealer in clearwater florida offers me no discount on parts or break on the labor knowing that this is a wide spread problem with this car. nissan should at least reimburse me for part of this repair or offer a discount on these parts. the sad part about it i have read about other owners of this car who have had to replace these parts more than once. that is unacceptable. *nm |
