| Description of the problem | Went to start the car and nothing happened. After several attempts the orange "key" light appeared on the dash. Figured i needs to change the battery in the fob so i did... Still nothing! Googled the issue and found this is a known problem with this vehicle and that the warranty had been extended on this part. Called the closest dealer who informed me my extended warranty expired in 2/09/15 and the repair was no longer covered. Are they serious? I was never notified of this issue. Nissan should be ashamed. Will never buy another one... |
