| Description of the problem | I went to the mall to drop off a painting and my car wouldn't start when i left and was giving me the key indicator so after a 20 second search on google i found that a lot of nissan owners had the same problem as me, which was the steering wheel column not receding to where it should be in order to lock the wheel. I think its absurd the piece is 600 at the dealership and 400 online. Then the key needs to be reprogrammed, if i would have known about such a tedious problem that nissan was not accepting responsibility for, i would have just gotten another kind of car. |
