| Description of the problem | I have a 2009 nissan 370z that after 3 days sitting in my garage wouldn't start without warning because the steering wheel lock failed. I was lucky that the issue didn't happen while i was out of town. The car had absolutely no power and had to be towed to the nissan dealership. The bill to have it fixed was $1051. 01 with labor. I have a case open with nissan to try to get it covered since this part is out of warranty. |
