| Description of the problem | After stopping at the store my car no longer would start. I live in texas where it is hot, this is a danger to be stuck and no way to fix it. The key light popped on. Apparently after research it is noted nissan is aware of the electronic steering lock problem. If there are so many issues why not recall the part instead of leaving motorist stranded. If the part malfunctions there is no way to move the car. I'm not sure where it is ok to charge 1200 dollars knowing your part is defective. This problem has left me stranded 3 different times. |
