“In january 2009 I purchased a brand new 2009 Nissan Maxima. In april my interior lights, steering wheel and seat and the heat on my drivers side seat stopped working. I took my car in to the Nissan dealer for repairs, I was told that there was and electrical problem and that they had repaired it. Two weeks later the same thing happened to me when I went to georgia, when I got back to maryland I took my car into the Nissan dealer for repairs again and was told that they could not find anything wrong with my car. …”
