| Description of the problem | Left me stranded in 98 degree heat. Had to have the car towed only to find out only the dealership could determine the problem. Towed it to the dealer. Found out it was a steering lock issue that happens to most 2009 and 2010 altima's. Nissan had issued an extended warranty, knowing it was an issue, but not a recall. Unfortunately, the extended warranty expired before my car had the problem. I've contacted nissan corporate only to have them tell me "sorry, the extended warranty has expired". No kidding. So, about to have to spend $1,000 for a repair that should be a recall. |
