Description of the problem	Drove to laredo, texas to get new tires for my vehicle. When the auto technician went to move the car from the parking lot it would not start. They checked everything they could think off, battery, battery cables, alternator. They called an electronic specialist to come check the car. It seemed it was the steering lock module. No warning, nothing. I never even received a recall notice for this part. I called the nissan dealership and of course the recall had just expired. To top it off the nissan dealership wanted to charge me towing fees from the tire dealership to the nissan dealership and to fix it was going to be over a thousand dollars. I ended up paying 850. 00 to repair the car somewhere else. I live in a very rural area where there are no stores, gasoline stations, etc. Nearest city is laredo which is over forty miles away. At least i was at the parking lot of the tire dealership. I don't want to think if this would have happened when i am taking my elderly mother to the doctor, hospital, or for chemo treatments. I feel nissan should reimburse me for the replacement for the steering column module. For instance, never did i receive the recall notice and this was such an unexpected experience. Not only was i without a vehicle for almost a week but finding someone to pick me up to take me home and then someone to take me back to pick up the car. I cannot believe that nissan didn't have the common courtesy to notify its customers of this steering column defect and the nissan dealership taking advantage of the situation.
