| Description of the problem | When i press on the brake to start the engine, it will not start and the light on the dash comes and says press the brake to start. The switch does not recognize that i am pressing the brake. This is an intermittent problem that may happen everyday for a week and then may not happen again for 3 weeks. If you press the brake in and press the buttons under the brake pedal, it helps to recognize the pedal is pressed. I have checked several on line forums where many car owners have posted the same exact problem with altimas of similar year models 2007 to 2010. *js |
