Consumer Description

LUCKILY IN THE DRIVEWAY AFTER LOADING CAR FOR FOOD BANK DELIVERY, I TRIED TO START BUT NO LIGHT ASKING TO PRESS FOOT ON BRAKE TO START CAME ON WAS MY FIRST CLUE SOMETHING WAS WRONG. KEY LOCKS/UNLOCKS/OPEN TRUNK/ALARM WORKS BUT WILL NOT START ENGINE. "KEY WARNING LIGHT" COMES ON. TRIED BOTH KEYS BUT NOTHING. DISCONNECTED/RECONNECTED BATTERY WITHOUT SUCCESS. STEERING WHEEL IS UNLOCKED. INSERT FOB TO TRY & START MANUALLY BUT NOTHING. MY NEIGHBOR IS A LOCAL MECHANIC & CAME OVER TO HELP. STUMPED HIM SO I GUESS I WILL BE CALLING TO GET A TOW TO DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING AFTER UNLOADING FOOD BANK DONATIONS! AFTER READING SEVERAL HUNDRED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE IN JUST A MATTER OF FEW MINUTES, I AM SURE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND NISSAN UNSATISFIED CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS. STEP UP NISSAN & DO THE RIGHT THING. I DO NOT HAVE $1000 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. WE ALSO HAVE AN ALTIMA SO WONDERING WHEN THAT WILL GO TOO. NO MORE NISSANS FOR US!
