| Description of the problem | I was on my way to pickup my wife and the for sone reason the steering wheel became locked . I thought that it was a mistake or something got stuck in the car. I press on the button to start ,nothing and try to turned the steering wheel ,still nothing. I got out of the car and back in ,nothing ,so i did this for 30 minutes until finally gave up. I had to rush to get our other car to pick her up. Luckily, traffic was okay. I have contacted nissan to see if they can do anything ,still waiting to hear from them. I contacted them at this same day. The vehicle was stationary in the parking lot of our apartment. |
