Consumer Description

AFTER I DROVE CAR FOR 5 MINUTES, I PARKED THE CAR FOR 40 MINUTES. WHEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR, NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR HAS A PUSH BUTTON START AND WHEN I PRESSED IT, NOTHING HAPPENED. NO SOUND, NO STARTER NOISE. NOTHING. I TRIED PUTTING THE KEY IN THE DASH. STILL NOTHING. I GOT THE CAR TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE LOCKING SYSTEM HAD FAILED. $1300 TO FIX IT. I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THE SYSTEM FAILS, THE CAR WILL NOT START. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CAR. IT WILL LEAVE YOUR STRANDED ANYWHERE AND AT ANY TIME. MANY 350Z & 370Z OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX IT. A RECALL SHOULD BE FORCED ON NISSAN! *TR
