Description of the problem	The steering lock unit cause the car not to start. There is a defect with the unit. I have contacted nissan and have open two case files(case#16923576 & case# 19538658) only to be told that there is a recall for this issue but not for my vin#. Last night i was stranded at work in a dark parking lot for 4 hours because my car would not start and it is still in the parking lot. I called nissan only to be told the same thing that there is no recall for my vin#. Nissan knows that there is a problem with this steering device and should be recalling all of the cars. To fix this problem is around $1200. 00 which i do not have. I am the consumer who purchased the vechicle and it is the responsibilty of manufactor to fix and repair there defects. I google my issue on you tube and found several videos with people having this same issue. To get my car started i have to remove the dash under the steering wheel and beat on the steering lock unit until it unlocks so that the car will start. I am 63 year old female and this is something i should not have to do to start my car. What if this locks while i am driving, will someone have to die before this problem is fixed. Enough is enough i am afraid to stop and turn my car off for fear it will not start. This has been an on going problem that began 12/23/2014 and continues every day.
