| Description of the problem | My 2009 nissan altima did not start one morning as i needed to go in to work. I called nissan in libertyville il and i was told the it was probably the steering column locking issue that needed to be addressed. I provided them the vin number and they said it was still under warranty so it would be covered 100% if that was the issue. Once at their shop they determined it was the steering column locking issue but switched their story and said it no longer was under warranty. I called nissan and they confirmed the warranty expired 4 months prior to the date of my nissan breaking down. After further complaints and appeals to nissan customer service i was forced to replace the part which cost me $850 in repairs. |
