Problems with the car starting. First problem car died just after starting. Odometer trip and a @ b had been set back to zero and car stereo presets all erased. Next morning car would not start. Waited an hour, car started. Took in they adjusted the idle. The car was fine otherwise. This was just over one month ago. Yesterday went to leave work car wouldn't start. No power then I got the radio to work. They got the car started, then shut off to see if the problem was still there. It was. Wouldn't start. Called towing, but after banging on my steering wheel, car would start. I drove to Nissan who now after 9 hours three technicians can find nothing wrong and they say you can come pick up your vehicle. Unless they witness the problem there is nothing they can do. Said next time leave it alone and call them and they will have it towed. This Nissan has only been service through the dealer.
