| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2013 nissan from bill seidle's nissan in miami florida. When i purchased the car they told me the mileage was around 30 mpg with an average of around 26 mpg. Months after i bought the car i mentioned to the dealer that the car's computer was saying around 20 mpg and they told me that i needed it to track the mpg myself because the computer from the car is not accurate. I tracked the miles and the results were 20 mpg. I took that car in to the dealer, i was told that they checked the car and there was nothing wrong with the car and that is the mileage that i was going to get. I also have a problem with the electronic key that on multiple times "no key detected" message comes up and it takes me a while for the car to start. Eventually it turned out the battery was not good and it was changed. About a month later the same problem continued and i took the car to the dealer and they told me they could not duplicate the problem so they could not do anything about it. This problems continues to occur and sometimes when the cars turns on the message stays on for a while. This problem does not occur all the time there is no consistency. I now take pictures when the problem occurs and are taking the car back to the dealer. I'm concern about the safety of the car. |
