As so many before me and I am sure many more to follow .... The ignition coils on my 2000 maxima se has failed due to a recognized defective part. So before someone loses power and safety systems fail, this problem needs to be addressed with a recall of all defective ignition coils in nissan cars and trucks.
2000 Nissan Maxima electrical complaints

My nissan 2000 has similar problems which others have,ignition coils and oxygen sensor. My car has only 48000 miles on it. All six coil has been replaced by nissan dealer and it cost me $500. Manufacturer transmission warranty does not cover even though it is part of transmission. Nissan should recall this problem and reimburse consumer money.
When starting the vehicle it would shake/hesitate, and stall. Vehicle was taken to a repair shop, and mechanic determined that the ignition coil needed to be replaced. The dealer was not notified.

On three separate occasions while driving (various speed) the engine check light would illuminate, then, the vehicle would commence to run/drive roughly. Vehicle been at the dealer on three separate occasions, and had the ignition coil replaced, but problem recurred.
Hi, I am a happy owner of a 2000 nissan maxima gle. The vehicle has 53,000 miles on it and recently has a problem. The "service engine soon" light on the dashboard just came on recently. *ak I researched this issue on the internet and found out quite a few other nissan maxima owners are having this problem ... This is what I discoverd ... The ignition coils are failing. The parts themselves were free under a "goodwill parts" policy nissan has. According to the work order, 3 parts numbered 22448-31u01 "coil assy-ignit" and 3 parts numbered 22448-31u06 were replaced. Many maxima owners have heard the response from nissan dealers that this is a known problem with the vehicle ignition coils. They also received the response that nissan agreed to a no charge replacement under good will. See car forums at http://www.carsforums.com/showthread.php?t=7803 question & request: ------------------- can nissan please provide the details of how I go about getting this problem resolved under "goodwill" and have the ignition coils replaced to resolve the "service engine soon" light. This should be covered under nissan's factory standard 60k power train warranty. Thank you, satnam bains
The vehicle started shaking uncontrollably and then stalled. The driver was able to restart the vehicle and drove to the dealer. The mechanic informed the driver that the ignition coil needed to be replaced. Please provide further details. *jb.......ignition coils and spark plugs were replaced a tcost of $638.00.
The service engine light illuminated on the dashboard and the vehicle lost power. When the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, it was determined that the ignition coil was defective.
In october 2004, on the first cool day of the fall season in houston, texas, my 2000 nissan maxima gle began to misfire, but the problem corrected itself after a few miles of driving. A month later, on another cool day in november, the problem recurred. This time, the event illuminated the service engine soon lamp. The vehicle has continued to misfire intermittently (but frequently) ever since. When I took the vehicle to my local nissan dealer for diagnosis, the service adviser pulled two trouble codes (p0306 and p1320) and told me the faults indicated replacement of all six ignition coils (per recommendation of tsb no. 01-059). The dealer wants $75 for each coil, and approximately $200 in labor to install them. Upon further research, I discovered the prevalence of the problem with other '00-'01 maxima owners. I have owned and maintained my vehicle since it had 4000 miles on the odometer, and this is the first major problem that it has experienced in 72,000 miles.
I own a 2000 nissan maxima se with 49,000 miles that has been well maintained and cared for. A week ago my "service engine soon" light came on, which was just 3 weeks after having my car serviced for a 45,000 tune up and a drive train leak repaired. I researched the source of a "service engine soon" light on the internet and found lots of information about a common problem in the make, model and approximate model of my car. Trouble with the six ignition coils was sited by many owners and detailed in the service bulletin ntbo1059. Repair of the problem seemed to depend on the number of coils replaced but typically cost $700. I took my car to a nissan dealership where they did a diagnostic test and told me that my car had experienced multiple misfires and that I needed to replace all 6 coils! The technician explained that the design of the current coils allows them to get overheated and burn out. It cost me $700 to replace all six and I absolutely will never purchase another nissan. Up until this point, me and my family had been devoted purchasers of nissan cars. Never again.
Shortly after my car reached 36,000 miles the check engine light came on, and I had to repair an ignition coil, less than a month after replacing coil, check engine light has come on again, for another coil.
Ignition coil failed on my 2000 nissan maxima. $350.00 worth of work. Was told this is very common and nissan has since issued new part because the old were failing at such a high rate.
I have a 2000 nissan maxima that I have spend almost $1000 to have repaired recently. The check engine light came on about a month ago and it was flashing. Took it in and one of the ignition coils was bad, throttle body needed repair, rail system needed repair, spark plugs replaced also. The car only has 44,000 miles on it and is pretty well maintained. It ended up costing me $500 for those repairs. This past weekend the check engine light came on again and I took it to nissan this morning. This time it is the 02 sensor - something to do with the oxygen intake. Not really sure what this is but is costing me another $300!! I was told that if I did not get this fixed that I would ruin the new spark plugs and would use more gas that necessary. The dealer told me this morning that it is very unusual to see these types of problems so soon. Nissan needs to get their act together!! I really like my maxima and even considered getting the new one - which look nice. But not anymore.
Ignition coils faulty. Thousands having to be replaced at cost to consumer of +$1000.00 nissan refuses to recall but the problem is so widespread that they have a national backorder on replacement parts. Diagnostic error code p1320.
I have 2000 nissan maxima se, current mileage 51000. I kept my maxima well maintained with regular service and premium oil but got service engine light on recently. After checking found out that all the 6 ignition coils need to replaced. That cost me $650.00. I checked with dealer and found out this is happening to other 2000 maxima too. Looks like this defect is for particular type of engine they had in 2000 maxima. I would like nissan to take action and recall those maxima.
I have a 2000 maxima with now over 100,000 miles on it. When I was way under that I had misfiring problems which turned out to be the coils. All 6 were replaced. Not even a week later they were replaced again. I am now at 119,000 miles and my car is sputtering and stalling upon starting up. I have read the same problem with somone else and they had to replace their coils. My car is no longer under waranty. So I hope dearly that it's not the coils again. Which I'm sure it is. Nissan needed to have recalled this car a long time ago. It is simply rediculous that the consumer should have to pay for nissan's mistakes. If nissan will not fix my car if it is the coils this time I will never buy another nissan again and I currently have 2 of them.
My 2000 maxima (42,000 miles) now requires a complete replacement of all 6 ignition coils at a cost of over $600. This came as a huge shock to me for a so called bullet proof car. I have read numerous other instances (online and on this site as well as a few mechanics) of this occurring to fairly new maximas. I would like to file a formal complaint.
I drive a well maintained 2000 nissan maxima se that is regularly serviced by the dealer. I brought the car into the dealer at 59,600 miles due to difficulty starting the vehicle, and a "sputtering" and stalling issue. Their diagnosis was to replace all 6 ignition coils - because 1 was likely bad, they couldn't tell which one, and that once one goes the others follow suit. This cost me $800. Upon reviewing my records after the repair, I found that they had previously replaced the same 6 ignition coils at 30,000 miles in responce to a "check engine" light that had come on. Ignition coils typically last the lifetime of a car, and all of mine have been replaced twice on a well maintained vehicle that is under 60,000 miles. I believe this is a manufacturers defect and should be recalled. If you check the following internet link, you will see statements from hundreds of 2000 maxima owners who had the same problem with low mileage: http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?nis_ign.
On thursday september 16, 2004 I took my car to a certifed nissan delearship service department for the third time in less than two years to correct a problem with my ignition coils. There seems to be no service department in greenville south carolina that can say why the coils are going bad. I found out there my invesitgation on carstates.com that over 250 people who owns 2000 nissan maximas and have had problems with their ignition coils. I would never buy another nissan or anything related to nissan. I have saved all of the old parts that were taken off of my car. When I notifed nissan corporation of my complaint in 2003 they said that no one complained of this issue. I was upset and I thought that I had the only nissan with this problem. I would just like to find all of those people with the 2000 maximas and pool together to sue nissan corporation. When these coils go bad, it is very unsave and it will eventually cause a death because your car will completely stop in the middle of driving, especially when it is cold outside.
2000 nissan maximas front engine mount froze and burnt up the computer as a result of the defect in the part. The dealer stated this has happen to multiple maximas and there is no way to prevent it from happening. The cost of repair was $1500 for due to a damaged computer. Horrible electrical burning smell in the cabin that could have caused a fire.
This is a complaint on the nissan company manufactures and dealerships. They have manufactured cars (maxima 2000) which have faulty iginition coils (6). They are very much aware of this issue, and have done nothing about making this a recall. There are thousands of people calling about this issue and being told "you're out of luck". The price for the correction and replacement of the ignition coils starts at $800. And there is no way to single out which coil is in need of replacement, and if you are lucky and can single it out, 2 months later another one will go out. So in the end you find it cheaper to get all 6 removed. This is a burden on maxima 2000 owners all over the country. There are petitions all over and online asking to start a recall.
Ignion coli faliure, common on 2000 maxima.
The check engine light came on and I was told I had a error code 1320 and that 1 of the ignition coils was bad but that they are not able to pinpoint which coil was bad so they had to change all six coils at a cost of $499. I went on the federal safety agency website and noticed that many people are having problems with their ignition coil and have filed complaints. I called nissan and spoke to a rep wich told me that since I have a 2000 nissan maxima the car is out of warranty and this problem is not covered.
Ignition coils failed after 60,000 miles. Nissan was of no help. Previously had three maximas.....but will certainly switch to toyota on next purchase. The cost to repair was about $800
I have 43,000 original miles on my 2000 maxima and have had to replace the ignition modules (1 per cylinder) twice.
Problems with vehicle's ignition coils. *mr *sc the repair cost the consumer $740.00 dollars.
Problems with ignition coils on vehicle.*mr the vehicle's ignition coil failed which caused the service engine soon light to illuminate on the dash. Although the vehicle only had 14000 miles on it the warranty expired four months ago.
"service engine" light came on.dealer(maroone nissan) stated ignition coils needed replacing.car had 14,000 miles on it,but was 4 months over warranty.dealer offered no charge for coils,but $200 for labor.I declined since car was running fine.the initial incident was may,2003. Since that time light has gone off and on several times.I have tried to contact marrone's service manager(chris garell) several times and calls were not returned.I then called nissan's main nummber-spoke to "marcell".explained problem to him-he said I'll get back to you.he never did.on june 18 ,I wrote a personal letter to nissan's ceo.no response.I noted on your website that 31 failures like mine occured.I feel that nissan should replace these coils,no charge,since this is obviously a manufacturing defect.this company does not have the courtesy to discuss this problem with me.that really bothers me!
Ignition coils failed at 30,000 miles. Spoke with dealer who advised it is happening on similar vehicles. Engine misfiring, loss of power. Dealer wanted me to replace all ignition coils and pay $700 for it. My extended bumper-to-bumper warranty refused to cover, because there was no "check engine" light present, hence, no computer codes generated by the car computer.
Problems with vehicle's ignition coils, brake caliper, pads and rotors.*mr the vehicle ignition coil failed at 37000 miles. All six coils were replaced. One week later the left rear brake caliper locked up. All four rotors and brake pads were replaced at 36200 miles. The consumer feels the repairs may have been covered under a service bulletin 624020 for the ignition and service bulletin 618790 for the brakes. The consumer seeks reimbursement for the cost of the repairs.
