| Description of the problem | My son went to work and when he got off of work the vehicle would not start. I called the nissan dealership they towed the vehicle and said it was the steering column lock. The manager stated "i see at least two of these a week every week for this same problem." it will cost us $999. 00 to repair our vehicle. There are hundreds of the same problem with this model. Why there is no recall is laughable if it weren't so sad |
