2012 Z won't start
 
I tried to get into my car this afternoon and when I tried starting it, it just made this rapid clicking sound and then turned off. My cousin and his friend tried finding out what's wrong with it but the batteries not dead. They think it's the starter. I live in the Houston area if anyone can help me it'll be much appreciated

2012? send it to Nissan for warranty work. Absolutely no reason it should be doing that already.

+1000

Even if it is a battery or a starter, Nissan should repair/replace it for free under warranty.

It's under warranty; take it to the dealer. Sounds like low voltage - either a bad battery or corroded connection.

To check a battery properly, you need to do it under load. Not many DIYers have the equipment but most places that sell batteries will test them for free.

Take it to the dealership for a new free battery. Not sure if it is covered. They could always blame user error. Good luck.
