| Description of the problem | I went to work on the 7th for 11-7 shift. When i try starting my car to leave on the 8th @ 7:07, it would not start. The yellow warning key came up on the dash. The lights, locking the car works, the horn works. I call aaa they could get it started. I called nissan after i took the car home as i have stuff in it that i couldn't leave at a shop. They said i should take it to a nissan dealer and let them know the cost and what the problem was. I went on line and search it up only to find so many with this same or very similar problem. I call back nissan and let them know it is not an isolated problem am having. The dealer knew what the problem was in less than 30min. It was the steering column need to replace. Now i spend $910 and nissan telling me they can not finance it as there is no recall on the part. Please, everyone, let us join together and claim what is ours. |
