| Description of the problem | The problem: defective electronic steering column lock (escl) on 12/01/16 i had to have my vehicle towed to a local nissan dealer after it became disabled by what i was advised was the failure of the escl unit. The cost of the repairs totaled $1094. 20. In addition, due to the lateness of the hour i arrived at the dealership, i was without the use of my vehicle that evening through midday of the following day. My own on-line research led me to the discovery that this mechanical failure is a known issue to nissan, and there had been a tsb campaign a few years prior that i had not been notified of or included in by the nissan corp. I have been a loyal nissan consumer for years, and my current vehicle that was affected by this breakdown, is actually my fourth "z" vehicle. I am very disappointed and displeased by how nissan has chosen to handle this issue. |
