| Description of the problem | My car was parked at work and i went to start it when i was leaving to go home and it failed to start for two days, called nissan they could not tell me what was wrong with it. They would not even had a tow truck come and tow the car. I had to have car towed thru my insurance company to nissan dealership and they said it was the steering wheel lock. $1,300 later. I was stranded at work late at night. The internet searches show this has been a common problem for the 370z owners since 2009. I feel nissan should have a mandatory recall for a part that is likely to fail at any time and leave the driver stranded. I am terrified to turn my car off not a good feeling. Please help! And would appreciate being compensated for something that is not my fault. |
