| Description of the problem | Brake light switch: due to how brake light switch was originally constructed car fails to turn on. Issue has been consisting for almost a year. Must press brake paddle several times, firmly. Via internet research seems to be an issue constant with nissan altimas. Is it a safety issue? Obviously. Brake lights are of most importance, and i believe nissan should be held accountable for its faulty defects instead of having owners pay over $500 for an issue nissan knew was only a matter of time to happen. |
