1999 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"Still love the car, just afraid it's going to start bleeding money now"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car has been great up until the last few months. It looks like I'm having the same issue that a lot of other people are having, bad ignition coils. I took it to the dealer (who has been pretty good actually) and he said he can't diagnose which coil of the 6 it could be. I don't understand how that's possible. He's telling me that it will require replacing 1 coil, driving the car for an hour and checking to see if that was the "bad one." If not, repeating the process until the faulty coil is discovered. Gotta be an easier way right? I tried to click on that online petition link, but it seems to no longer exist. Is Nissan ever going to do anyting about this?
