Some Nissan Altima owners report experiencing issues with a low battery, such as having the key stuck in the ignition and being unable to accelerate. This problem may occur if the key is stuck after the engine is shut off, which can sometimes be resolved by wiggling the steering wheel. Additionally, a low battery in the key fob is a common cause that can lead to difficulties in starting the vehicle and trigger warning lights related to the I-Key System Error. Some owners also find that a faulty ignition switch can contribute to key system errors, resulting in the key being stuck. Moreover, if the I-Key System Error light remains on after replacing the key fob batteries, there may be an issue with the antenna system that affects starting the car. To address these concerns, owners are advised to troubleshoot the key fob battery, inspect the ignition switch, and consider potential antenna problems. If these solutions do not resolve the issues, seeking professional assistance from a certified mechanic or contacting a Nissan service center is recommended.
