| Description of the problem | I had a failure in the steering column sensor for my 2009 nissan altima resulting in my car being unable to start. My car had been parked while i was at work and there were no indications this would happen. This is an issue that has been widespread enough for nissan to extend the warranty, which ended oct 2014. My issue occurred 11/1/15. I paid out of pocket to take a cab, get my vehicle towed, and then fixed. I submitted a complaint (case # 20709999) and was informed nissan would do nothing about this issue. I had the car serviced at ricart nissan in columbus, oh. |
