Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Started the vehicle at home and drove to the store, approximately 5 miles away. After shopping less than 30 minutes, went to start the vehicle and it would not start. The little key light went on so went back into the store to buy a battery for the remote as some people reported that as the problem. Replaced the battery and the vehicle still would not start. Called the local nissan dealer, they said it sounded like the electronic steering lock which was under an extended warranty but due to the age of our vehicle (6 years old) it was no longer covered. Vehicle was towed to the nissan dealer, they replaced the lock steering at a cost of $1000. Called nissan to request a reimbursement but they said it was not a safety concern, so it is not a recall only an extended warranty was issued and since it is out of warranty there is no reimbursement. I believe this is a safety concern and request it is issued as a recall. Many people online are complaining about the lock steering issue.
