| Description of the problem | My 2010 altima has a push start ignition last month while visiting in pa the brake light, vdc, and slip light came on and remains on. We stopped and then the car failed to restart. We were able to get back home to ny and i took it to my local dealer where they ran a diagnostic test result was a bad brake light switch. Which completes the circuit from the brake to the push start button to allow the car to start. I researched on line and found a few different forums one being nissanclub. Com where i found a number of ppl with the same issue. I contacted nissan customer affairs and got nowhere. I was wondering how many ppl with the same issue are needed for an issue like this to be considered a recall because with that being a damaged part there is no other way to start the car. |
