| Description of the problem | I went out to start my car and it wouldn't start. Luckily it was in my parking spot. It kept showing a yellow box with a key inside of it. The push start button kept showing the word lock. I thought it wouldn't start because it was really cold outside so i went back in the house for about an hour and tried to start it back up. It still didn't start up. I got the vehicle towed to the dealership and one of the guys there told me that the warranty expired do i would have to pay $950 plus tax. It is really upsetting that nissan isn't doing anything to help with this problem. |
