I have made a complaint to attorney general office also.. I bought my nissan brand new august 2017, not even a year old it started having issues , with the push button start and the brakes. I was driving home from work and my car stop. I could not move it this was 2018 where you cant move the car or start it . It was towed to nissan dealer. They stated that it was the brake switch system failure .there should be a recall on this problem with 2017 nissan altimas. Very dangerous!
