| Description of the problem | Not too long ago my car would not start in several ocassions i had my children with me ages 4 & 7 in the heat stranded because my car would not recognize my key... I have contacted nissan consumers affairs at one point their was a recall but has expire in 2015 .. Now its june 2016 and my car just started doing this i made 1yr with my pre owned car still makin payments not once was i notified about this recall.. I just felt scared and this vehicle is not safe for me and my children. It could leave us stranded any time and its june i cannot risk it in this heat.... This is a safety issue... Nissan did state to me that their was a recall and their sorry but it has expired and im responsible for the part... This is a manufacture issue they knew their vechicles had a safety issue when they made them i believe they are responsible for this costly matter... I am a single mom of 2 still making payments on a car that wont unlock and read my key i need help please someone..... This part is $680+ labor=$1150!!!! I believe nissan is responsible for this issue ... |
