Ignition Coils and TSB

I just all 6 of my ignition coils replaced on my 2000 SE at my Nisssan dealer because I am too busy to buy them seperately and install them myself. It cost just over to $500 to do the whole job, but id didn't bother me because I got a good deal on the car when I bought it used back in March.

The car had just over 34,000 miles on it and was bought originally in January 2000 - so the work was not covered under the 3/36K warranty.

Is it worth writing to Nissan to complain to them that I had to sink this kind of money into the ignition coils when there is a TSB out there about replacing them. I have been a fairly loyal Nissan owner with a 1995 Maxima and a 1998 Altima, so I don't know if that would help. I am not looking for them to refund me the entire amount, but I figured if I could anything from them it would be nice.

I guess what I am asking is if there is a TSB for a known issue is it worth *****ing about to get some leverage back.

Thanks for any ideas...

There is a TSB on your coils, it should have been taken care of under the powertrain warranty I believe. My Engine runs a lot better after My Coils were replaced
