| Description of the problem | I have a new 2013 nissan altima sl v6 i have had several problems with this new car. Blind side warning, and traction control light stayed on one time. My car wouldn't start up several times after walking up to the car and pressing the button on the door. The key wouldn't unlock the doors, it wouldn't auto start the car. I had to wait to get in my car, i actually had to stick my key in the door to get in the car. When i did finally get in the car and try to start it nothing happened, it said no key this is dangerous i am a female god forbids somebody tries to rape or kill me and i am not able to get away in my new car that i pay all this money for every month. The dashboard says: key not detected or no key, or incorrect key id. My car has been in and out of the shop and they still doesn't know what's wrong. I've recently went to a different dealer hoping they can work on my car and get me the results i'm looking for... I completely hate this car because it has been n the shop more times than my last car. All they kept saying was more computer problems. I got my car 12/2012 and my car has been in the shop over 20 times with lots of issues. I'm still within my 36000 warranty. I also hear a clicking noise in the front tire. Dealership replaced some bolts and greased it as well. They said it needed grease.. The noise has came back about 2 weeks later!! Its time consuming to keep going back to the dealership to get repairs!! But i have to do it. I had the recall for air bags but it still didn't register an adult who sat in the front seat who weighed about 103 lbs. So his air bag wouldn't deploy if we got in an accident. That isn't safe at all.. Pls fix and change that feature for the sake of smaller adults. Nissan shouldn't restrict the weight of a front seat passenger.. All these problems.... I will be opening up a lemon law case!! This is ridiculous!!!! |
