| Description of the problem | I was unable to start my car and was left stranded in a parking lot at work for over 3 hours waiting for a tow truck. Once i got to the nissan dealership i was informed that the issue is with my steering lock and it would cost $1,300. I came in 4 days prior to this event due to an indicator light coming on which i found out was a warning about the programing of my key and was turned away by the dealer and told that the light really isn't a big issue because i am able to start the car. However, 4 days later my car won't start at all and now i am unable to get to and from work and i am also a student. I called corporate and was told that because this happened after 2015 and the recall had expired there was nothing they could do. |
