Description of the problem	I purchased a 2004 nissan maxima, on february 27 2007 with only 24,000 miles. Three months later, the vehicle started to fail. I notice some jerking when i slowed down and then hit the gas, as well as a metal rattling noise (when i give it gas). I took it to the dealer which they stated that they didn't feel it jerk and they didn't hear the rattling noise. The noise has become worse. Now a year later the engine light came on and my car wouldn't start. I took the car to the shop where they diagnose that my ignition coil went bad. (had to replace all six) cost $1000. To this point the car still remains in the shop due to ignition coil. Finally, the rotor went bad which had to be replaced for the amt $380. I have done some research on this vehicle where there have been numerous complaints. I highly believe that an investigation should be place to get this on the recall list.
