Default Ground cable causing ignition coils to melt

Hello,
I've had my nissan sentra SER 2003 for over a year now and recently it began to stutter when accelerating. It would shake the whole car and was sporadic in times that it would happen. Sometimes it would almost slide back into normal acceleration and things would be fine. I let this problem progress over a few weeks and recently I wasn't able to accelerate over 2.5 RPM's without violent shaking. The next day it drove fine and I was able to hit 2.5 with ease.

Took it into the mechanic and they informed me that the ground cable has failed and thus it is melting the ignition coils. Mechanic also stated this is a known issue with this model of car.

Estimated cost of fix is $847.00.

Do you believe this is an accurate diagnosis? Has anyone else experienced these issues.

Thanks
