| Description of the problem | Today the steering wheel control lock went out. After doing some research i found that this is a common problem and there is not a recall to cover this defective part. Clearly nissan has acknowledged this is a problem as they have had recalls that expired. This is not a maintenance issue that an owner should have to pay for. This is strictly a defect in electronics system. What would happen if my wife and 4 year old were stranded on days where the heat in memphis can reach indexes of 115 and it can get as cold as 10 degrees? |
