| Description of the problem | My car would not start leaving me and my child stranded. The car was parked in front of my house over night. When i was ready to leave for work in the morning it would not start. I thought it was the battery but it wasnt. I had it checked at a near by auto store. I had to have the car towed to the mechanic. Who contacted the dealership and it was confirmed the faulty break switch. This is unsafe for me and my family leaving me scared to drive thinking it can happen again and leave us stranded again or a scary accident. Please recall the faulty break switch in 2009 nissan altima and reimburse me my money for repairs. I am a single parent. Thank you. |
