I am looking at $1400 to replace 6 ignition coils, this is preposterous, this is a known problem that should have been corrected. My car has less that 60,000 miles on it, and I have babied it and made sure only the best has been used on it. There are thousands of people complaining about this, and the problem remains. I am finishing this and writing a letter to my congressman and senators. I bought this car on Nissan's reputation and knowing that they allow this to exist, I will never buy another Nissan, period.
