Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At about 30,000 my 1999 maxima gle started to misfire randomly. i was told by a dealer that there was no test that could isolate a bad ignition coil and that all six coils would have to be replaced at a cost of about $900. i did nothing for a while, but when the problem became worse i contacted my local merchant tire dealer and asked if they could replace the coils with new coils bought be me from an auto parts dealer. merchant tire agreed to make the replacement for $130. i purchased replacement coils from brightauto.com for a total cost of $364.63. the replacement coils are identified by nissan at nissanhelp.com as 22448-31u11, rh coil (#89057915) and 22448-31u16, lh coil (#89057914). i have had no problem since the replacement. *nm
