| Description of the problem | Parked my car in a store parking lot. When i returned my car failed to start with a failure to recognize my key fob. I replaced the fob battery still won't start. It was getting dark i had to leave my car in the parking lot. Returned the next day. Nothing will start my car. When online to see that this is a common problem with my car. I had my car towed to the dealership. Was told the extended warranty had expired 03/15. I only have 44500 miles on my car. Nissan never notified me that there was a problem. It cost me $964. 00 to get it fixed. And of course this all happen when my husband was out of town. Why was this not a recall? |
