| Description of the problem | 2009 nissan altima bought brand new. Under 36,000 the motor was changed out, around 70,000 miles the transmission was replaced. Good times. Friday 5/22/15 went to friends house and went to leave and car would not start. Checked battery and fuses and then noticed a yellow key flashing in gauge cluster. I called the dealer and told them what i saw. Dealer told me there was no way i was going to get the car to start and that it needed to be towed to the dealer. Called tow truck and was towed from helmet ca, to ontario ca 60+ miles in the rain with my windows down. I could not roll the windows up or do anything else besides unlock and lock the doors. Nissan has extended the warranty for this problem but still denies that there is a problem. I was 3 months late for this warranty and i have been denied coverage for repairs that will cost more than a $1000 dollars. Nissan knows there is a problem and will not recall this problem witch is wide spread. Just google it and they will see. Want to get the news involved. Tired of being stranded by nissan. Nissan step up to the plate and take care of your customers!!! |
