The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Periodically my vehicle fails to start on the first try, it just won't turn over, but on the second try it is fine. Yesterday the vehicle would not turn over at all. It is not a battery issue as the wipers/lights come on. I had the vehicle towed to the dealer and they indicated they have had a few complaints regarding the same issue. The vehicle is actually 'flooded'" I went out an hour after my first attempt at starting the car and it still did not start. Not sure how a fuel injected vehicle that does not use the accelerator to start, gets flooded? this makes me nervous I'm going to get stranded somewhere with a vehicle that periodically will flood and not start??" the dealer did not fix or replace anything. Not very comforting.

I have a 2005 Nissan Altima with a faulty ignition. My grandson, who was a salesman at the dealership where I purchased my vehicle in 2005, took the car in to be checked because my key kept getting stuck in the ignition. I was told that the service department couldn't find a problem. The problem has continued to occur repeatedly and is getting worse. My key was stuck in the ignition for 5 days the last time it happened. I will just use the last occurrence date as the 'incident date' because it took the longest time to get the key out.

I purchased a 2005 Nissan Altima on 2005, since I purchased the car every now a then, when I put the key in the ignition it will not turn, I try turn the key it turn and started the car. On 10/18/06 I tried to start the car when I put the key in the ignition it did not turn, the key goes in but the wheel is stock and it will not turn. I seen several complaints from customer with the same problem in the internet. I need my car so I have to tow my car to the dealer and see what happens. I think that the ignition has a defect and the company should be responsible for any fixing.

Since I got the vehicle I had problems with it. The vehicle does not want to turn on, the key does not turn I have to jiggle with it so it can turn on. The brakes are making a lot of noise at least that is what I think the noise is.for the time I have had the vehicle there is no reason for it to be doing what it is doing I don't want a car like this that is the reason I got a new vehicle to have no problems and that is all its given me.
