My wife’s Infiniti died on us last night when we ran out to get burritos, today, it started, but died again after I got home. There is something going on with the keyless start. Starter clicks, lights flash, but no start. I checked battery connections and they are good. No loss of power, as the clock and other items did not reset. This is the curse of a modern car. I am going to get in the Sunchaser, turn the key, and go buy some damn tires. No computer involved; just me and my manual transmission 1980s Toyota that NEVER lets me down.

*Looks at his Accent* You can still get modern cars with few computer-y gubbins! I think mine has like...an ECU....and maybe one other module...?

Only problem I had similar to that with my pathfinder was that the battery died. But mine a 2014 and just changed the battery last week. Cold winters are hard on batteries

My wife’s Infiniti behaved similarly last fall. I was all set to take it in to the dealer, but in the week before I could get it in it died completely. Dead battery.

Ah, modern technology. Where everything is fucking electronic and having to turn something off and back on again every time it glitches is considered an acceptable fix.
