The car has left me stranded over 20 times this past year from not starting ( I've only had the car a year). All the lights will come on but when I push the start button it won't do anything. It will jump off and might run for weeks but all of a sudden it will fail me again. I have took it to the dealership a couple of times(while it was under warranty) and they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I have also took it to autozone several times (after warranty expired) to find out there wasn't a battery issue. I researched online to find many many many complaints about others doing the same thing with most of them saying its a software problem. I feel this should have been taken care of while the car was still under the factory warranty.

I was driving 65 MPH on the interstate when the car began to lose power. All warning lights came on, the steering became disabled and the car coasted to a stop. White smoke came out from under the hood, it immediately turned black and 60 seconds after the car lost power it was engulfed in flames.

When driver attempted to start vehicle, all warning lights came on, all interior lights and headlamps & running lights came on, and vehicle became totally unresponsive, stranding driver & running down battery due to inability to turn any lights off or turn vehicle off. No controls related to electrical system were controllable. Some examples include: 1. Power door lock switches did not function (no effect from pressing). 2. Power window switches did not function (no effect from pressing). 3. Pressing the vehicle power / ignition button (modern equivalent of starting key switch) did not have any effect, whether short or long duration presses were used, and regardless of delay between key presses. 4. Headlights & running lights were on regardless of the switch position of the headlight control switch. This resulted in the driver being stranded. Because the vehicle's lighting would not turn off, the battery ran down, disabling the vehicle further. Vehicle was towed to a nissan dealer. Nissan serviceman initially refused to write the customer problem description as per the customer description of the problem. Later, customer called back to the dealership to request the customer description include specific and correct information already provided by the customer such as vehicle was "completely unresponsive while all the warning light came [remained turned] on the vehicle. Doors would not lock or unlock.", the dealer reported that the service technician found tsb ntb12-041. Dealer record reads: "reprogrammed [sic] bcm update as per tsb. Vehicle is now operating as designed [sic] after update." vehicle has functioned normally since.
