I had a car with push button start and a CVT. After putting the first 50 miles on the car, the brake light switch died. Nissan, in their ultimate wisdom, used the brake light switch to tell the computer if you are pressing the brake when starting the car. Well, no brake light switch, no starting the engine. Had to get it towed back to the dealership to get fixed.
Modern Nissan is pretty hit-and-miss. Their CVT transmissions have a bad reputation too. I have a new Acura with push button start and a manual transmission and all the electronics work correctly with no issues.

I now have a real key and a manual transmission.
Jokes on you, some manual cars also require the brake to be pressed to start them.
Yes, I had an older manual car that had this. But it was a mechanical release of the ignition lock connected to the brake pedal.
Clutch pedal as well, so you have 2x as many switches to go bad and strand you if you don’t know how to bypass.
You know I think your mistake here was buying a Nissan, not a car with push button start
Nissan had probably the most reliable motors through the 80s, 90s and early aughts, then the Renault thing happened . . . so yeah you’re right.

Same with my Subaru. Staying away from the questionable brands like Nissan and Kia is the key. Never had an issue with my push start or CVT.

*Modern Nissan.
I genuinely believe the K24 is the second best engine ever made, even better than the 22RE.
Clearly the CVT is the real villain here.
On a Nissan CVT? absolutely.
I’m like 2 weeks late here, but yes. Nothing scarier than hitting the gas and feeling the belt slip inside of the transmission
Jatco CVTs are in more cars than Nissans unfortunately
Jatco is owned by Nissan.
Better that than having people ram into you because you have no brake lights
