| Description of the problem | This is very frustrating, specially finding out that so many people are going thru this too and nissan knowing it is a problem and just offering a temporary warranty extension not just recalling the part. The steering lock warranty just expired 4 months ago and i find it very weird that i had taken the car to the dealer just 2 weeks ago for an oil change and replaced the batteries for the key, the light with the key symbol was turning on and thought it was just he new batteries in the key, then it happened my car went dead and wont start, towed it to the dealer and the bill $1,100m come on the car is only 6 years old and still making payments. Now my car is sitting idle as i can't afford this. Nissan needs to pay for this. |
