Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I drive a 2000 nissan maxima that currently has 48000 miles on it. i developed an engine ping at 45000 miles and took it to the dealer for sevice. they replaced all 6 coil packs and air something or other at a cost of $1300.00. i have driven it 5000 more miles and i once again have an engine ping. i took it back to the dealer a second time to which they told me i was a quart low on oil and that would cause a ping. they did an oil & filter change. i was pleased as i drove away and heard no engine ping, however about 30 miles later it came back. their theory of being 1 quart low on oil is not correct. i decided to research this problem on the net, and see that this is a very common problem with nissan's. this is not a cheap fix and i think nissan should have to recall this as it should not be a consumer fix.
