| Description of the problem | On friday 14, 2014 approximately8:33 p. M. I was driving down n. Tyron st in charlotte, nc in traffic when my car shut down automatically due to the key not being detected. The key was in the car with me and then a lady miss hitting me in the rear by a inch; due to my car just cutting off indicating my key was not in the car. I tried to start the car again and it would not start back up when i press the start key and the brake at the same time time; it will say the key is not being detected. When i press the automatic start button on the key, the car would start up but when i press the start button and the brake together it cut off and the say thing comes up on the dashboard. Then once it did cut on when i tried to put the car in drive the cuts off and says the key is not being detected. This a safety issues and very dangerous, if the lady behind me was not paying attention it would of been a bad accident. I don't trust my car and i am afraid to drive it again. When i called nissan they didn't know anything and did not assist me until the following wednesday 19,2014 and i have been without a car since. No customer service or concern about their customers well-being at all. It been 12 recalls on my vehicle, i have not received any notification of any of them by capital nissan of wilmington or the regional office. |
