problem #1

Sep 142012

Altima 3.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 148,234 miles

wont start until all dash lights go off

September of 2012 i had a problem with my car starting so i took it to 5 different mechanics plus nissan dealership and they can never find the problem. so in march 2013 a nissan dealership in columbia, sc got my car and said it was the IPDM module and cam and crank sensor. well that really didnt fix the problem because you have to see guess if the car will start or not. Now it is september of 2013 and it is back at the nissan dealership. So my whole complaint is, they need to find people who can fix nissan cars, not part changers. I believe it is a defect in the anti theft system which is causing all these problems. The answer i always get is maybe you need to trade the car in. thats fine i would if someones willing to pay the payment for me. I called the main office and not getting no where. So i have done some research on the internet and see this problem alot with nissian, but no one can ever figure out the problem.
