| Description of the problem | I tried to start nissan altima after shopping and would not start. Steering was locked up and transmission. I was not in the safest part of town so i was worried for my safety. This is the second time it happened to me so i knew it was the steering lock unit gone bad again. First time was 3 years ago and it was replaced free at nissan dealer this time it cost me $ 1009. 56 at same nissan dealer. Need to recall so this matter can be fixed. I cant afford a car that i have to replace same $1000 part every 3 years. |
