Mechanic try starting through the battery. Would not start. The steering column was the issue. The warrenty for this part was for 6 years. I never recieved notification for the warrenty. Nissan america said it was my responsiblity to look it up on line. The repair cost me $1263. 58. I was only asking for the part price which was $898. 63. Why would a part be on warrenty for 6 years and then break down 9 months later and they are not responsible for the part failure. |
