1999 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I can't say that this car is as good as my previous car, but it is a close second. I was very happy with my car up until now. I only have 26,000 miles on the car and already the ignition coils have gone. I didn't even know what an ignition coil was, but I found out fast and almost $700.00 later. Seems that 3 of the coils were bad and the other three were weak. I try to take care of my car by giving it the best gas (even though it is an expense to me), I take it for oil changes when it is scheduled and I have already taken it for a tune up (about 2 years ago). I really don't feel that we should be paying for this coil problem.
I too have spoken to the service manager of my service department. He told me that there was nothing he could do. I just spoke with the car's consumer affairs. I asked them why there isn't a recall for this problem or at least compensation to the clients. Again, the answer, "There is nothing I can do". There must be something we can do, if we are in great numbers! It's ashame that they didn't correct this problem sooner. I really love that car!!!
