Description of the problem	Car would not start due to failure of steering lock mechanism. Contacted nissan dealership, they were aware of issue and indicated that it would need to be towed in for repair. Repair and tow cost $1383. 21. Nissan nissan dealership stated nissan was aware of defective part (steering lock #48700-1nc1a) and to call 1-800-nissan1 for reimbursement. Nissan is indicating the my vehicle is 2 months out of warranty. They are offering to pay 50% of the total bill. I feel this is a safety issue, due to being stranded, and potential for part to fail while the i in motion. Due to the fact that they were aware of the defective part in their vehicle, nissan should have notified owners of affected vehicles. If they had we would have had the part replaced in advance of failure.
