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?
Why would Nissan do anything about it? It's a 8 year old car for Christs sake!
I would go to Advance Auto Parts and buy some non-Nissan ignition coils for the car, a new set of six. I realize this is a sizable amount of money, but it will be a good investment as you can probably get some that are better than the factory coils and have a longer warranty. Also, they will be cheaper than buying coils through the dealer, not to mention it will be less aggravating to replace all six at once and not wait on the next one or two to fail.
It should still be like new at 8 years!!!
How do you figure it should still be like new at 8 years... an average person puts 10 to 11 thousand miles on a car in a year. That's 88 thousand miles... A car will start to show it's wear around that time. Get over it, fix it or sell it.
