I have a 1999 Nissan Maxima with the check engine light on. Took it to the dealer and they told me that all 3 O2 sensors were bad, and they could be replaced for approximately $700. A week later check engine light is back on, and now they are telling me that it is the #3 cylinder misfiring, and they recommend replacing all 6 ignition coils for approximately $1200. I understand that there have been many complaints about the ignition coils, and really do not have the money to pay them again for something that I feel should be replaced by them anyway.
Car still has check engine light on after replacing ignition coils and knock sensor.
: the contact stated the air bag light illuminated intermittently. The dealership determined the entire air bag system needed to be replaced. Updated 5/30/2006 - the brakes made noise in the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle pulled to the right. The check engine light illuminated. The tcs light illuminated. The a/c didn't seem cold enough to the consumer.
I have a 1999 Nissan Maxima and have had the check engine light on. Checked the code and came back with cylinder 1 misfire. Dealer wanted $1,000 to "try and fix the problem". I don't have that kind of money. As I was getting on the freeway lost most power out of the car and couldn't speed up to avoid an accident. Fortunately nobody was hurt however if the dealer would have fixed their faulty part I am 100% positive there would not have been an accident.
