| Description of the problem | Norfolk, virginia - my 2010 nissan altima with push button start failed to start. All other electrical seemed fine. I had just previously noticed the abs, vdc and slip warning lit while driving. After checking fuses, key fob batteries, etc. I attempted to pump the brakes several times and it finally started. Drove immediately to the dealer where i was told it was the brake lamp switch and harness which must be replaced at a cost of $550. 00. He seemed to know with out of even looking what the problem was. When i questioned him about such an expensive switch, he only said "this happens a lot with this model." this should be recalled and fixed at nissan's expense. |
