1999 Nissan Maxima from North America - Comments

The main problem was and still is the coils. After finding out what the codes meant, I starting checking the coils according to the procedures in the repair manual. All six checked fine, but the manual only tells you to check between two of the terminals. After comparing the ohm readings of all three terminals, I discovered an open in one of the coils. After installing a new $80 replacement from the dealer the car ran fine. About 3 months later I have the same problem only to find out that all the coils may be defective, and that means another $400 out of pocket, with me doing the labor. I think a recall should have been issued, or at least free replacement coils for any defective ones!

I have three nissans in my driveway, but will look at Toyota for my next purchase.

HI,

I purchased a 1999 maxima gle and had the same problem

however the dealership I bought it from fixed it for free.

They said nissan main headquarters told yhem to fix any

coil problem on the maxima and file it under warranty.

I have bought three Nissan cars. Two of them have the check engine light problem. Now, I have only 2000 Nissan Max. My husband wants to sell it too since the check engine light bothers him. I went to Nissan dealer and get the problem fixed. But it costs me $835 to replace 6 coils. If replace coils could be done for free, please inform me how could I get money back?

I think Nissan cars have too many small problems. Although I liked Nissan cars before, I would like to try other brand cars.
