| Description of the problem | My daughter drove the car to her hospital in nj and when she returned a few hours later to drive back to her home on li the car would not start. The remote opened the doors but the brake pedal was hard and car would not start when she pushed the start button. I was told the problem is a faulty escl. Apparently this is a common problem with the 2009 altima's. I called nissan and was assigned a case number. Don't know if it will help. Dealer quoted almost $700 just for the part, said the problem is so common he keeps the part in stock. |
