| Description of the problem | Dealer says it's the steering wheel lock issue. Warranty expired and now they're asking 1,200 to fix the issue for parts and labor. This is ridiculous. Apparently it's a common issue for all 2009 and 2010 z's and they're only recalling some 2010 models. I need this recalled because of the obvious defective part that was installed in the car. Unless i can get this fixed at no cost i will not purchase another nissan. Ever. They already have awful brakes and rotors and now this? Shame |
