| Description of the problem | I have experienced several incidences where when pressing the brake & trying to start the car (by the push start ignition) the car will not turn over. All electrical components in the vehicle will turn on (radio, power windows, air, etc) but the car will not start. I've had the battery tested numerous times and it always passes as a good battery. After doing some research online, i found several forums where others have complained about the same problem with their 2008 nissan altimas. From the sounds of it, it might be a problem with a brake cable. With as many other complaints that i've seen on this, how come there hasn't been a recall issued? |
