| Description of the problem | Car would not start, battery was charging. It is the steering lock mechanism. This issue will cost $1000. 00 to repair. After research it is clear that nissan is aware of the issue. Why has that not been a recall? This is unsatisfactory. I have been a nissan owner for 15 years, but if this is not resolved, this will be my last nissan. I thought nissan was a good company, but this is no way to treat your customers. |
