| Description of the problem | On july 2, 2005 warning lights come on (brake and alternator). Since it was before a long weekend (july 4) we couldn't do too much until july 5. It was impossible to deliver vehicle to any dealer, so we were forced to put it in a local garage. Alternator failed and battery was dead after 24,000 miles and 17 months of driving the vehicle. The problem was fixed by a local mechanic, reimbursment for our expenses are under dispute with nissan. |
