| Description of the problem | I started the vehicle at home and drove to the my mothers house(, approximately 6 minutes away.) when i went to start the vehicle it would not start. The little key light went on so,i changed the battery for the remote as some people reported that was the problem. The vehicle still would not start. Called the local nissan dealer, they said it sounded like the electronic steering lock . After making some research i just found out that is a commmon problem with this model and year. T. . I believe this is a safety concern and request it is issued as a recall. Many people online are complaining about the lock steering issue.. I beliene nissan should at least be responsible of replacing the parts. This is our third car that we have bought and have not had any issues before. |
