Consumer Description
I GET IN MY CAR BY OPENING THE DOORS WITH MY INTELLIGENT KEY (IN OTHER WORDS, THE BATTERY ISN'T DEAD). ONCE INSIDE THE CAR, THE KEY LIGHT BLINKS ON EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE KEY IN MY HAND. I CAN'T START THE CAR OR EVEN PRESS THE BRAKE IN, THE CAR WON'T GO INTO ACC MODE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T DETECT THE KEY (AGAIN, I'M ABLE TO LOCK, UNLOCK DOORS, OPEN HOOD AND EVEN SOUND OFF THE ALARM THROUGH THE SAME INTELLIGENT KEY..?) .I PUT THE FOB INTO THE SLOT AND IT FLASHES TO EJECT IT...NOW MY CAR WILL NOT START AND MY WINDOWS ARE STUCK DOWN...I WENT TO GET MY OTHER KEY FOB AND STILL DOESN'T READ THE KEY...NOW MY CAR IS STUCK AND I CAN NOT DRIVE IT...SOOOO WHAT I HAVE TRIED TO DO WAS BEATING ON THE STEERING COLUMN, MAKING IT TILT AND ALL OVER N OVER AND NOTHING... UNPLUGGING THE BATTERY FOR OVER 30 MINUTES IN HOPES OF 'RESTARTING' THE ALARM SYSTEM PUTTING IN THE INTELLIGENT KEY INTO THE SLOT WHERE THE KEY GOES (OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL) ..STILL KEY LIGHT BLINKS INDICATING I NEED A KEY....NOW LOOKING THIS UP THERE ARE ALOT OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM WITH A 09-10 NISSAN MAXIMA AND THE GTR HAS SAME ISSUE AND A RECALL WAS DONE ON THAT...SO CAN WE PLEASE GET A RECALL ON THE 09 NISSAN MAXIMA SO THIS CAN BE SOLVED FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS? *TR
