I would've done a search if I had the option. But anyway how many of you had your coils replaced under warranty? I'm at 42K, it should be covered under powertrain right?

 

Had mine done at 20k. Not sure where it sits on the warranty issue. However, its a known defect...I would expect some slack from the dealership.

 

My coils were replaced at around 10 miles. The coils in my wife's 2K GXE were replaced at around 40K miles. Both were covered under warranty.

 

Thanks the replies. I was wondering if I'll have any engine damage from driving around with defective engine coils (I'm assuming it's that. My SES light came on today after getting my rear brake pads replaced). I don't have the time to go into the dealer anytime soon.

 

what's the sympton for bad coils??? i'd do a search but i can't.

 

can someone please varify it's under warranty?

 

Misfire, rough idle, slow revs, SES light blinking and/or solid on.

You'll know - it will feel like a spark plug wire came loose.

 

Obviously detonation is not good for your engine. But it takes awhile before detonation causes serious damage.

I'd recommend that you not stress your engine until you can get your coils replaced. Avoid such things as accelerating under WOT, carrying heavy loads, driving up Pike's Peak, etc. Also, run high test gasoline exclusively . . . preferably Chevron Supreme with Techron. If you're already doing that, spike your gasoline with Techron Concentrate. It's the only gas additive that's unofficially approved by Nissan. And it will help.
