Description of the problem	In december of 2012 my car started to give me problems with starting. (45000 miles)i push the brake and push to start button, but only the lights come on. I had it towed to the dealer, and they said it is a brake switch problems, and that others have come in with the same problem on the 2007 and 2008 altima. They fix the problem for $268 which was a complete waste of money, because in april 2013 and the same problem happening again.(48000 miles) i had the car towed back to the dealer and they replace the brake switch for me for free this time, and said that it maybe a bigger problem such as the sub harness for the brake light switch. But i will have to pay $125 for the diagnosis charge and i told them to call the corporate office have the altimas recalled and some other "kind words". I read online from various posts that others altimas 2007 and 2008 are having this problem. So for now i am left to pay to fix the problem out my pocket which is a complete headache, because nissan should be fully aware of this problem.
