Description of the problem | Drove my car to the store that was approximately 2 miles away from my home. On the way there, the car was operating in good working condition, as usual. The key indicator light on the dashboard lit up but then quickly disappeared. After going into the store, i got back into my car and tried to start it up with the push start button, but nothing happened. Since the key indicator light had gone off previously, i though the battery on my key was running out, so i inserted it in the key port, which indicated the key still had power to in. I tried to start the car again but nothing happened. The car was completely dead. I then called a family member to bring my spare key to see if that worked, but the same results happened. I then called a tow truck, who almost wasn't able to move my car onto the truck because it was completely locked up, and towed my car to the nissan dealer. It was there that they told me that the steering lock went out and could not function without it. |
