2000 Nissan Maxima GLE review from North America

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Most Nissan Maxima from year 95-00 have ignition coil problem. This year car uses distributorless and was a first designed by Nissan. Instead of using a single coil with distributor, it uses each individual ignition coil for each individual cynlinder. The coils have a flaw design that caused one or more engine misfire after you have driven ~50K on it. Nissan knew this problem, but did not offer a recall, rather re-designed the replacement coils more reliable. New Maxima is using this new design coil. Replace these coils are not cheap (over $700 parts and labor) for 95-00 Maxima owner, most dealer recommended to replace all six coils even only one cynlinder found misfire. There is Nissan Maxima Group in groups.google.com where you can find sources of how to read ECM code and replace new coils your self. It may save you hundreds of dollars.
