| Description of the problem | My vehicle which appears to have multiple defects is now hesitating on start up and has occurred on several occasions. When i press the engine button, the car just keeps cranking and sometimes, barely or struggling to start. Every now and then, i noticed that there's also a single clicking sound which seems to come from the engine compartment and a drumming/slapping noise when applying the brakes. The vehicle makes to many disturbing noises that nissan for some reason can't seem to identify other than the sounds being normal. |
