Description of the problem	I go to college in a remote part of nebraska and in the winters it gets really cold and when you have a car in the middle of nowhere and it does not want to start. Thanks nissan for not caring if i die of exposure. I live in remote town that doesn't even have a grocery store. Everything is closed by 6pm in my town and we are the last place to close in my work town which is a 30 min drive home. Both of these towns would be considered small town midwest farm towns, so when i close work and i can't start my car at midnight, i'm stranded. I can't go back into work to keep warm as the lock and alarm are activated when i leave. No one is up and the only people on the streets are the cops & are not taxis to drive me 30 mins to another town home. Point is, my car doesn't turn on, i'm left out in zero degree weather or below zero with one heck of a wind chill to just wait for some one that is over an hour away to come get me. If i'm lucky enough to find some one in peru, ne. Otherwise i am call my mother in lincoln, ne. That's over an hour and half drive. I have been stranded now 3 times since december 10, 2016. 1st time. I was told it is my battery. Replaced it to no resolve. 2nd time was told it is my alternator. Tested fine and since it started fine at the dealership they said my car was fine. 3rd time, i hoped on the internet and to my complete surprise and shock to find that this is not an isolated issues. Nissan has known about the steering lock control unit stranding people for years and has done nothing to notify there customers or have it as a recall, but only as a warranty issue which expired 1-2016. I have already spent over $300 trying to get the problem fixed. I am a college student putting myself through college. That was my book money this semester. I don't have rich parents and need a reliable car. Nissan get it together and make this a recall to fix it!!
