| Description of the problem | My brake switch went out in september. At any given time my car wouldn't start. When i press the brake peddle my brake light wouldn't come on. This happened over and over again. This is very dangerous because someone could run into the back of the car at any given time. I travel up and down the road a good bit. Having this problem is very dangerous for me. Now, a few months my car want start again. The dealership thinks its the steering column this time. My car don't even have 70,000 miles on it. This doesn't make since to me. I've been told by several people that nissan is aware of this problem. I've been told that the problem exist in most all 2009 altima's. Why would nissan risk the well being of their customers. It's sad that when i give them the year and make of my car they know exactly what the problem is without even checking them out. There should be a recall on these parts. These parts. Why is nissan willing to cheat their customers and why are they willing to put our lives as well as the lives of other drivers at risk. |
