| Description of the problem | While i was at work and done with my shift i went out to my car and press the break and push the push start button it did not start it turns out that the electronic steering control lock is defective i could've been hurt or killed or put it in a dangerous situation if i had no one around me to help me out. My life was put at risk with a car that would not start. The car was stationary when this happened and it happened in a rule area of california which is the searne valley which is almost all desert. I was able to have the car towed to the valleyhigh nissan in victorville california and they are quoting me $947 to have this part replaced. |
