| Description of the problem | The vehicle has a push button start/stop. When the car is turned off the vehicle can be left in gear and the audible warning indicators are confusing and inconsistent. As i was walking away from the car it would not remote lock. I looked back and it was rolling across the parking lot. Any number of times i have left it in neutral by mistake. The audible warning system is terrible, inconsistent and this is dangerous. I called the dealer and was told there is no fix and you have to put the car in neutral and nissan said they don't accept redesign suggestions over the phone. I had to jump in the car with a bad back and hip to stop it as it rolled across the parking lot. Very dangerous. Audible door open and lights on warnings are inconsistent as is the key recognition system. I would not have bought this car if i knew it had such a dangerous flaw and bad electronics. My phone message has not been returned. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
