| Description of the problem | The car would not start with my smart key. I have had the car for three years and there were no mechanical issues with the car. But after turning it off to go inside, i came back out and it would not start. I had the car towed to nissan dealer and the service tech already new the problem, told me the part was on back order, and that it would take three weeks to fix, on top of the 800+ bill to fix it. This problem is frequent and i feel there should be a recall or at least a reimbursement for service done on the vehicles. |
