2 Fuel Injection problem of the 2000 Nissan Maxima

Failure Date: 08/01/2006

I have the same engine ignition coil problem as listed throughout your site and the internet by thousands of other 2000 Nissan Maxima owners. The service engine light is on, the car is barely running because of these faulty ignition coils which the dealer recommend I have replaced for over $1000. Nissan refuses to address this defect with a recall. Something needs to happen. First they told it was the spark plugs which I had replaced. Then it was these coils, the car just keeps getting worse daily. Stalling, barely accelerating, can't take it on the highway because it barely moves. Accelerator fails often, sometimes there is no response from pushing the gas pedal down. The fumes coming from the car indicate that gas is being wasted. Also getting terrible gas mileage. Please help.
