| I bought a nissan maxima 1999 for my daughter only to find out that she got in her car one morning after just having her vehicle at a mechanic for a check up/service. they told her the car was fine. she then proceeded down the road to the freeway, stopped for gas and the car would not start. panicked by the 'area' of town she was in i had a tow truck from aaa dispatched to meet her as soon as possible. the vehicle was towed back to the mechanic and we were told that the key to the vehicle had become deprogrammed. i proceeded to call the dealership and they refused to help me unless i had the vehicle towed to them. a scam alert to ensure that you must use a dealership at high cost. my fear is that should my daughter be headed through the arizona desert in 120 heat and this same situation would have come up without the ability to contact someone, her (or anyone else's) life could have been in danger. i find this key malfunctioning to be a sever safety hazard and that more people should know that they could endanger their lives if the key malfunctions and they are not near a dealership. i believe a safety recall on this vehicle should be considered. i have another nissan fx45 that i do not want to drive for fear that the key could malfunction in a similar manner leaving me stranded as well. *tr | |||

| Several times, as i have been driving down the road, the power locks (on every door) in my car suddenly unlock. at other times, only the front two doors unlock. immediately before this occurs, i can hear the power controls on each door make an electrical noise as if an electrical malfunction is occurring. all four of my power windows also intermittently malfunction and refuse to roll down (while at other times they work perfectly). the lock defect creates a dangerous situation as my children who are riding in the can then exit the car. *nm | |||
