I purchased this car from carmax with a full understanding that it was properly serviced. My car has been in the shop 4 times in the last 3 months, for my check engine light and overheating. Saturday morning I went outside to crank my car so it can warm and it wouldn't start. This is ridiculous, paying almost $400 a month for a car I barely drive.

While driving car lights would dim when turning car shut off while driving. No warning ,no codes , no safety lights to use. Couldn't move car because steering locked plus no power. Would not start towed car to dealer. They can't find the issues. Car is unsafe to drive shutting off and no emergency lights to warn other drivers. Because all power goes. I tried to pull over but lights continued to dim. If it had been daylight wouldn't have noticed. I'm

I had the fuel pump change because the car would not start. I was told by the mechanic that it has to do with an electrical problem because somehow its not getting power to start my car.

First this car only has 11,000 miles on. We got the battery change on it last year. But some reason the battery keeps on dying on us. Saturday may 7th the car was working fine and we stop to go food shopping come back out and the car would not start. We had this check out last year and they said nothing was wrong with the car. But there is something going with this car to act up this way.

I keep getting a key id incorrect or key id undetectable when I try to start the car. I have replaced the battery in the key fob and the same issues arise. I have to open and close the car door at least 10 times before I can get the car to start. This could be a safety hazard as I might get stranded somewhere if I shut the car off and it doesn't start. I am getting really tired of this issue and hopefully a recall or some type of fix will come from nissan. This issues always happens when the vehicle is in park and you try to start the vehicle.

Since the first week we owned the car, occasionally the screen(back up cam, radio...) doesn't start, or fails within first mile of driving- maybe 10 times since purchase date. On july 29, 2015- morning- car upon start, no screen and no dashboard. Restarted twice and then fine. At 9:30 p.m. Same day-- close to home, side mirror failure warning showed on dash- and a subsequent failure of systems- including but not limited to- GPS, screen, turn signals, headlights,hazard lights, all dash information. I pulled into parking garage and attempted to open window to use key fob for gate and had no operating windows, including sunroof or locks. Put car in park and could not get it into another gear.trapped in car for 15 min. With car running- passenger door then unlocked. Aaa called. Car ran for 3 hrs. Aaa disabled the electrical operating the fuel pump. Car towed to cochran in pittsburgh. Since a restart resets the computer, no code on diagnostic would be found. Cochran considers the situation resolved. Nissan has a case # and several recorded (by nissan) conversations have occurred with regional rep. And that rep. Will not send written findings of investigation (check the I key)as it is internal information and I will pay all diagnostic fees associated. Rep has no technical knowledge and has no explanation of what an I key is or how or for what it should be checked. There is a directive from nissan regarding this problem as told to me by wright nissan, but again nothing will be done without the code from diagnostic computer. This can't happen again- but it will and it could be catastrophic-the intermittent, random, systematic failure will happen- the extent and order of events unknown - leaving us an uncertain outcome and no plan for response in the given situation. We suspect the problem is the bcm as alerted by the internet research, the aaa driver and the cochran tech.
