Car would not start. I called dealership and was told that there was a known problem with the right battery cable connection and to just tighten it. I had my husband tighten it and it did start. This happened two additional times after this. Thankfully my husband was with me and he was able to jggle the cable and we did get the car started. Recently I was out alone shopping late at night coming from the mall and the car again would not start. Had my brother in law come to my rescue. I brought the car to the dealer ship today today and I was assured that this problem would not happen again. I drove home and then had to go back out for something we needed for dinner and the car again would not start. I had just left the dealership service station. Did some further research on line and found out that the recall parts wont be distributed until 11/29. So what am I suppose to do in the meantime. Also this issue can cause the car to stop suddenly at low speeds and cause accidents not to mention damage to the engine. Why was I told that the issue was resolved when I found out the recall parts were not even available at that time to resolve this issue"?" I dont feel safe driving this car and feel Nissan should replace the vehicle for me. I purchased a new car so that I would not have to worry about getting to my job etc. I had a several used cars that I put alot of money into and decided to go new to give me some piece of mind.
