| Description of the problem | Steering lock my wife drove the car to church from there to her moms from there to work from there home we was getting ready to go back to church car would not start. Warning light on dash showed steering lock. I looked on line there are a number of complaints listed for same problem they said nissan would fix it for $700-$1000 web site says you can beat on control and this might fix it. If nissan know they have the problem why dont they do a recall we do not have the money to fix the problem and a lot of other people do not . |
