POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
WE ARE CURRENTLY WAITING FOR A # 6 COIL FOR OUR 2000 MAXIMA, THIS PART IS ON BACK ORDER FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND THERE ARE NO AVAILABLE PARTS IN THE U.S. SINCE THIS PART IS ON HOLD FOR OTHER CUSTOMERS AT OTHER DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS PART IS FAILING ON A LOT OF NEW CARS(UNDER THREE YEARS OLD) THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED. WE'VE ALSO EXPERIENCED A FAILURE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND SINCE OUR CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME, WE HAD IT FIXED AT THE MANUFACTURERS EXPENSE. INSTEAD OF RECEIVING A NEW ONE WE RECEIVED A "REBUILT" ONE. HOW DO YOU HAVE A "REBUILT" TRANSMISSION ON HAND FOR A BRAND NEW CAR IS A QUESTION I'VE NEVER HAD ANSWERED FROM THE MAUFACTURER. *AK
