| Description of the problem | Engine with push button start would not turn over after 3hr stop and a long drive previous to stop. Battery was totally dead, but after repeated attempts to jump start it did turn over. There was no unusual draw on battery during stop either. Stopped at nissan dealer to check the starting system and everything checked out normal. Service tech recalled this problem with my particular year and model, and said a brake switch and sub harness assembly should be replaced, but at $800+ cost i declined offer. Purchased a new battery later and as of this date i have not had a problem, but every time i start it i cross my fingers. |
