1999 NISSAN MAXIMA Electrical Systemignitionanti Theftcontrol Module Problems

CONSUMER CANNOT START VEHICLE WITH KEY, THE KEY WILL NOT TURN IGNITION SWITCH, . CONSUMER CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER HAD TO RECODE KEY. *JB

WHEN LEAVING THE GROCERY STORE MY CAR WOULD NOT START. THE FAILURE RESULTED IN MY WALKING HOME AND LOSS OF INCOME. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A SHOP AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS IGNITION SYSTEM IMMOBLIZED BECAUSE OF THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM. APPARENTLY, THE KEY CODE HAS A PROBLEM AND ALL KEYS AND CAR NEED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. NOW, CAR HAS TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AS ONLY NISSAN CAN FIX. AND NISSAN IS CHARGING ME FOR THEIR DEFECTIVENESS!! SO, END RESULT COUNT ON TWO TOWING BILLS, MECHANIC CHARGE, NISSAN DEALERSHIP CHARGE AND DELIVERY OF CAR BACK TO SHOP. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS QUITE COMMON. NOW HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO ACCOUNT FOR WHEN MY CAR WILL NOT START AGAIN? DOES NOT STRIKE ME AS A DEPENDABLE CAR. AND, I DO NOT HAVE A CELL PHONE, SO WHAT TIME...

WENT INTO OUR LOCKED GARAGE, AND CAR WOULDN'T START. LOCAL REPAIR GUY SAID THE COMPUTER HAD LOCKED OUT OUR KEYS, THINKING THAT CAR WAS BEING STOLEN. HE SAID THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE ENCOUNTERING THIS... SO IT WAS TOWED TO NISSAN.*AK NISSAN CONFIRMED THE NATS SYSTEM HAD LOCKED OUT THE KEYS, AND CHARGED US MONEY TO RE-PROGRAM THE COMPUTER AND OUR ORIGIONAL KEYS... NOTHING WAS REPLACED, BUT NOW IT WORKS! THIS IS CRAZY! EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM NISSAN DID NOT COVER IT EITHER. WE PAY BECAUSE THEIR COMPUTER PROGRAM HAS A GLITCH?

CAR CRANKS BUT WILL NOT START/CATCH. SECURITY INDICATOR LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED INDICATING VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING. APPPARENTLY THE IGNITION KEY HAS DEPROGRAMMED AND NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED.*AK

CONSUMER COULD GET INSIDE OF VEHICLE WITH KEY, BUT COULD NOT START VEHICLE THROUGH IGNITION SWITCH. ELECTRONIC DEVISE WOULD NOT READ KEY, AND COMPUTER HAD LOST THE COMBINATION. *AK DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE KEY. *SLC
