Consumer Description

MY VEHICLE WHICH APPEARS TO HAVE MULTIPLE DEFECTS IS NOW HESITATING ON START UP AND HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WHEN I PRESS THE ENGINE BUTTON, THE CAR JUST KEEPS CRANKING AND SOMETIMES, BARELY OR STRUGGLING TO START. EVERY NOW AND THEN, I NOTICED THAT THERE'S ALSO A SINGLE CLICKING SOUND WHICH SEEMS TO COME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND A DRUMMING/SLAPPING NOISE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE MAKES TO MANY DISTURBING NOISES THAT NISSAN FOR SOME REASON CAN'T SEEM TO IDENTIFY OTHER THAN THE SOUNDS BEING NORMAL. *TR
