One problem related to ignition coils failure has been reported for the 1998 Nissan Maxima. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 1998 Nissan Maxima has been misfiring. It turns out that I have bad ignition coils. This is a problem that shouldn't be happening, especially at 80k miles. It's especially frustrating because this is a very costly problem. I did some research, and this is an extremely typical problem for this model. Judging by the frequency of complaints on this issue there should without a doubt be a recall.
