| Description of the problem | Drove to work on 6-4-2016. Went out to move my car and it wouldn't start. Lights were working, alarm was working but car would not start. I noticed a tiny key emblem on the dash that i had never seen before, come to find out it is the steering lock which there was a recall on. Called nissan dealership to fix it and was told the recall expired in july 2015 and it would cost me approximately $900 to fix. I cannot afford 900 dollars for something that they should be fixing for free as it is a nissan induced issue and nothing personal. I have been without a car for almost a week, having to beg rides from people just so i can support my family with the (2) jobs that im working. |
