Consumer Description

OUR 2007 NISSAN VERSA HAS A IGNITION STARTING PROBLEM. IT IS A BRAND NEW CAR AND WILL NOT START. YOU HAVE TO CRANK IT TO GET IT TO START. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ACROSS NORTH AMERICA ON THIS PROBLEM. THE SALES MANAGER AT ORLANDO NISSAN TOLD ME I WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND I ALREADY KNOW OTHERS HAVE FAILED AT GETTING THIS PROBLEM FIXED NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS IS A MATERIAL DEFECT AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY WIFE AND SEVEN YEAR OLD. IT ALSO HAS A LOUD CLICKING IN THE CAR WHEN YOU TURN THE WHEEL HARD TO THE LEFT. THERE IS NO FIX AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS WILL SURELY STRING THIS OUT AND COST US TIME AWAY FROM WORK AND HOME AND REPLACE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE NOT CAUSING IT JUST TO LOOK PROACTIVE. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THAT AND WOULD LIKE THE DEPARTMENT TO CONSIDER INVESTIGATING THIS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE FOR AN UNSAFE ENGINE. *TR
