Intermittently ignition will not start. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

Cold morning, car would not start even after temperature outside reached 45 degrees. Dealer indicated that the problem was a faulty crank angle position sensor and replaced it under warranty. This was the third time the car would not start during "cold weather", first time they're we're able to make a diagnosis. Hope they we're correct this time!

On different occasions, 08/07/03 being the latest, my car has stalled, or shown poor accelleration while driving. It has happened while driving over 65 mph, soon after starting the car and putting it into drive, and a small time period after driving it. On one occasion I exited out of a parking lot onto a busy two-way traffic road, to cross to the other side and it stalled while there was oncoming traffic. I was very reluctant that the traffic speed wasn't high, for they may not have had the time to slow down. I have taken my car in several different times to my dealer, and other car maintenance shops, and they say that they can't find the problem, and in order to fix the problem, they must duplicate it. But the problem that comes from that is, it doesn't happen on a recurring basis. It can happen hours apart to 2 months apart. It gives no warning, and it goes back to running normal as if nothing has ever happened. The first time it happened was approximately 3 months after.

Car would not start after sitting overnight. I had the car towed to the dealer who had no solution. They used a cold start and told me not to let the gas go below 1/4 tank and not to park on an incline. Two incidents happened in November 2002. In April 2003, the car would not start again after sitting one day and night. I took my car to another Nissan dealer who gave me the same answer. Anyone with a similiar problem?

I depressed the clutch then the brake, the brake peddle seemed stiff like something was preventing from going down.

This evening I went out to start the car. The temp. Was about 32 degrees. The car would not start. Since this has happened before, I did what the service dept. At the dealer suggested and pushed the gas to the floor and tried again with no luck. I was told before that this could be a problem with the air being cold. Why would they sell a car where it snows if it won't start. My wife is expecting a baby in 8 weeks and we need a reliable car. The dealer does not seem anxious to help solve the problem. Today is Jan. 6, 2003 and I cannot register below as 2003 because it is not offered on the drop down box. Therefore I am registering as 2002.

Went out in the morning and the car would not start. Tried all day to get it to start and finally had it towed to the dealer. The next day the car started without problem and the dealer says they could do nothing as long as the car started. We were told it could be the air temp., which was about 40 degrees the morning that the car wouldn't start. If we would have dreamed of having problems with this car we would have never bought it!!

On 06-09-02 and 09-23-02 engine would turn over but would not start.

Airbag warning light goes off - dealer orders new airbag module and combination must be replaced. Has happened at 600 mile and again at 3700 miles, still not repaired- parts are on nation wide back order - major safety factor: Ignition noise and static in radio from coils.
