 My 1999 nissan maxima se had one coil replaced in 2003. this year i replaced the alternator as well. my airbag light flashes constantly and my clock goes in and out of service. my service engine soon light came on and the car runs very rough. when idling it sounds like a choking piece of crap and on the hills the light flashes. i was told i had a bad coil again and took it for a diagnostic that said multiple misfire and replace all six coils. i have read complaint after complaint about coils. when i bought my maxima new i thought i was buying a car that was reliable but i am hearing that coil replacement is the rule not the exception. i also have rear brake noise....since year three of owning the car. i have replaced two sets of brake pads as well. *tr
