Starter problems of the 2010 Nissan Altima

Key fob is inserted in slot and all lights and guages will light up, windows go up and down, doors will lock and unlock, but when brake depressed and start push button is pressed car will not start. Battery less that 6 months old (just replaced in attempt to fix problem). Brake switch just replaced in additional attempt to fix problem. Nissan dealer in st. Louis lists this as a recall for 2010 models, dealer in marion, IL says it is not. Marion dealer replaced two parts [24167-zx00j harness -sub] and [25320-jn00a switch assy-stop lamp] at cost to customer of $567. For parts and labor. Car still would not start. Dealer stated that on "TSB" they "found similar concerns" and additional parts need to be installed listed in procedure," and "confirmed power is switching at bcm but not engaging starter need to replace bcm and diag further - quoted customer $569. 35 to replace bcm to fix other concern" (capitalization per dealer). I declined. Car was stationary in dealer shop. I have tried to speak with corporate Nissan, but have not had any satisfaction. My personal mechanic (has masters degree in auto mechanics) says it is a recall problem with recall listed on internet in March, April and may. Date given below is repair attempt at dealer. ## VIN passed ## Nissan Altima 2010 ##.

I have numerous starting problems and the vdc,abs, and slip light come on while driving. Sometimes it can take 4 or 5 tries until the vehicle starts with the push button start. The battery,alternator and starter have been checked and found to be in good working order. This is a safety issue as the numerous lights that come on while driving present a problem especially if the abs system light comes on while driving.

Takata recal. We purchased vehicle used. Our 2nd Altima. Had problems about 6 months after getting the car. It wouldn't start. Brakes wouldn't even compress. Replaced battery and worked for a few weeks. Same issue continued. Cabin lights would come on, new battery but still not starting. Had starter replaced and worked for a while again. Same issue again. Get stuck in random places. Some days it starts, others it doesn't. Calling for a jum start doesn't work either. Unreliable and unstable. Called dealership, mossy Nissan. They wants over $200 just for diagnostic and then could be a number of problems. Also said break harness/switch seems to be a common problem. Vdc lights also come on at random times while driving. There seems to be a common issue with these models. Nissan should handle all repair expenses. Car was stationary at all times it wouldn't start. This week is wouldn't start 3 times. Last week it was 5 times. The whole month was 17 times out of 31 days. Please recall.

If I have to pump the brakes to get the car started, will I soon have to pump the brakes to stop?????? vehicle not recognize the key. Happened several times prior to 6/15/2013. Just thought the key needed to be charged. But on this date I pull up at a hotel, checked in and went to move the car and it wouldn't start. Sat for an hour or two. Replaced battery a few weeks prior so it wasn't that. Had to be towed to a pepboys. Too late for a dealership, a Saturday evening, and I was over 5 hours from home. The car was dropped off across from the bays therefore they were unable to connect the diagnostic machine. After setting for a couple more hours it finally crank. They said it was the starter, as of today I have not replaced the starter. In August it did it again twice while my 16 yr was driving it to school. A couple of times in September. I took it to the dealer on 10/14/2013, their diagnosis were: replace brake sw, sub harness, and tie straps. And now almost on a daily basis want start without pumping the brakes. I'm the only one that drives the car now because I'm afraid of the brakes eventually giving out.
