2010 nissan altima. The automatic push button ignition would not start the engine. It cranked several times then did nothing when pushed. Waited 15-20 minutes and then it started right up. Upon starting the car was taken to the dealership. The mechanic was unable to determine the failure because no error codes registered. They checked further but couldn't find the cause and told me it would have to totally break…

The occurrence is approximately 10 percent of the time and occurs at any speed, even on the highway at 65 mph. This error has persisted throughout the life of the vehicle (purchased new in 2010), but the dealerships we visited insist that the system complies with their…
