From the Associated Press

Nissan Motor Co. has begun recalling more than 130,000 vehicles globally because of a defect with the ignition key system.

The vehicles being recalled include 70,000 Murano SUVs and 10,000 Maxima sedans that were sold in North America.

The recalls involve only models using Nissan’s “intelligent keys” with integrated circuit chips inside, which enable drivers to open their car doors with their keys still inside their pockets by just pressing on the handle.

The cars sometimes don’t start properly, Nissan said.
