| Description of the problem | My car was parked in a business lot when this occurred. There was no indication of anything being wrong with the car. However when i went to start the car it would not start. It was not an issue with the key fob. It was an issue with the sterling lock system in the car. An issue that nissan said was made faulty. So as a result, i could not start my car and was stranded. So i had to call a cab to get home and have my car towed. I understand that things go wrong with cars and sometimes it is because people put off necessary repairs. However there was no sign this was going to happen and nissan knows it's a problem with the product they put out. I thank god i wasn't out in the middle of nowhere when this happened. It could have been a really ugly situation like some other people have been put in. |
