Description of the problem	On january 19th at 6:00pm i attempted to leave work and my car would not start. I called a tow truck and jump would not help. I had to call a tow truck to tow my car home. The next day on january 20th, i had the car towed to my local nissan dealership, nissan of union city. I had the diagnostic test run and it was determined that the steering lock no longer worked. My nissan rep advised that this issue with the steering lock appears to happen in these model cars. I researched the issue online and found that this is a major issue with many people online speaking about their frustration with nissan. Nissan north america is aware that this is a major issue and extended the warranty on this part. They did not mail me any information on the warranty extension which expired on 8-15-15. The warranty extension was specifically for the steering lock since nissan knew this was a huge issue. The total cost to resolve this issue and fix my car is $1000. 00. I had to take out an icare plan where the total cost was broken down into payments for 6 months. I called nissan corporate to find out if they would help with the cost of this major issue and they advised me they would not. They stated they looked into this issue and the warranty was extended. Since i did not bring before the warranty extension expired, in there words, nothing could be done. I contact clark howard, and they advised i file a complaint with nhtsa. Thousands and thousands are having this major issue and nissan is putting all the responsibility on the consumer vs. Themselves. This is an obstruction and nissan needs to be held responsible.
