I am having issues with my car not starting. I see so many other people are having this same problem. I have had this happen to me several times within a month and a half. I go outside to get in my var and it will not start. I have to get jumps and after several times it will start. All other lights be on the car just won't start. Got a new battery from nissan on thursday oct 8th and still having the same issue as well as a whinning noise coming from under the hood when the cat has not even been driven. We need some help. This is a serious issue that needs to be fixed. People paid alot of money for theses cars not to start. We never know when we are going to be broke down or stranded somewhere
Unable to start vehicle due to faulty break switch. I tried to push the break and start the car. It doesnt start.
Car not even 24 hours old, the car would not start with pushing the starter button, the rmp would be at 3 at idleing. March 2019, engine light came on, and went to the dealer. Sensor in fuel pump had to be replaced, few weeks power train problems. In the middle of intersection of route 45 in greys lake, il. The car would not shift out of first gear and almost dies in the middle of intersection. Shut the car off, the car would run normal for awhile, then the shifting gears and bogging would start all over again. A week latter the engine is making a whinning noise.
I purchased my car in 2016 with only 10 miles on it from me driving off with it. I've replaced the battery twice. Ive had my transmission replaced which they didn't want to replace due to low noises it made if I drove over 10 MPH. They refused to fix my car for three months because the check engine light wouldn't cut on from the noises it made. Now my car cranks but doesn't start. All maintenance is up to date and my car has 55,000 even today! The battery is now and charged. All cables are tight. I have to get it towed to nissan to have it inspected.
