After about 37000 miles i started to hear a "whirring" or kind of "roaring" noise while driving. i noticed the noise sped up and got a bit louder as i accelerated. i asked a mechanic to check the brakes and those were fine. at the next oil change, i asked the mechanic to ride in the car because the noise had gotten louder. they found one of the front wheel bearings to be worn out. i took the car to a dealer, because the wheel bearings are covered under the power-train warranty until 60000 miles. the dealer found both front wheel bearings "completely worn out" (per their notes on the work order). wheel bearings should not be wearing out this early. *tr

On 12/26/11 i went to do an errand. i parked the car, came back, and the car wouldn't start. all the electrical worked. i had the key with me, yet the car would start. i had the car towed to the capitol nissan in atlanta. they diagnosed it as a faulty steering lock unit. they replaced the part as well as the ignition switch assembly. the mileage at that time was 33,572. i purchased the car in oct 2011. on 12/21/16 i went out to do an errand, returned to my car, and it wouldn't start. i had the car towed to nalley nissan, who bought capitol nissan. the same scenario. all electrical worked. i had the key yet the car wouldn't start. they diagnosed it with a faulty steering lock unit and replaced it. at this time the mileage was 59,125. the first replacement of this unit the car was still under warranty. this recent incident it wasn't.

Car will not start. the intelligent key warning light is on and preventing me from starting the car. *tr
