| Description of the problem | Out of no where, without any warning, my steering lock broke, to the point where i could not start the car. I had to get it towed to the nearest nissan dealership (one that i am unfamiliar with). Then i was told i had to replace this part which would cost $1200. 00. If that wasn't enough, i was notified that my warranty expired on august 25, 2015. This occurred on november 11, 2015. Nissan was unable to do anything for me even though they were on notice that this piece was malfunctioning in the 2009 nissan. |
