Description of the problem	I purchased a 2013 nissan altima 2. 5 s in july of 2012 with 349 miles on it. I have had numerous problems and have returned the vehicle on several occasions for repair and have yet to find a solution to the problem. In the mean time they are only getting worse. The first problem occurred 2 weeks after i purchased it. I got in my car and applied the brake and pushed the button to start the car and the car hesitated, it was almost like the starter had hung up. I wasn't too worried at first and figure it was just a one time fluke, but it wasn't. Nearly five days later it occurred again and atleast one or twice a week there after. After 4 weeks and it having done it about 4 times by then i made and appointment to have it service and a few days later i noticed 2 new noise problems. I was driving with window down one day and heard a loud chiming or jingling noise coming from what sounded like the front driver tire. It pretty much sounded to be a loose nut or screw jingling around somewhere. Then a few days after that's when the brakes started squealing. And it was terrible and very loud, like nails on chalkboard and very embarrassing. So when i bring it to be serviced they tell me that the issue i had when started could not be duplicated and that the brakes where cleaned and the rotors where shaved down and also that they put no squeal on. And for the issue with the jingling noise was that a screw was loose and rattling around on the engine cover. But when i drove the next day the brakes started squealing again so once more 2 weeks later i return it again. And they tell me they have to shave the rear rotors this time. When i leave this time the squealing does not return for 2 weeks. So once more i return it this time they tell me that dirt is caked under my brake pads and all i can do is pretty much pressure wash them every day. That's not quality!
