I also have had a starting problem, it cranks but doesn't start. Had it back to Nissan for the past 15 months, still not fixed. Can anyone help? Obviously Nissan can't.
Very roomy, bad starter.
Yes, my daughter's Tiida sometimes does not start easily. Hard to work out as it does it infrequently. It will start after a few goes and it does it when it's hot. She's had the battery replaced but this made no difference. The car is an August 2006 model and started giving this problem towards the end of 2008. We've had it checked by Nissan, but when in the workshop it started every time.
My son has had the same problem. Have had it back to Nissan & originally they said a new key needed to be cut, but then said it was the battery? The car cranks over but won't start. Sometimes this happens once, sometimes twice before kicking over. One time it happened numerous times, has been going on for roughly 1 year so unlikely to be the battery on it's way out, but not really sure??
I've seen this as well, the Tiida won't start but it'll kick over. So the battery is NOT at fault here, or the fuel (there's plenty), but I think it's the ECU losing its marbles. Because I have a temporary fix, just unhook the battery and then reconnect it. And like magic it starts and you're off and running again, however the car will fail to start some days down the track and you have to repeat the process weekly or so.
