| Description of the problem | Electronic steering column lock (escl) was malfunctioning, as diagnosed by a nissan dealer. The car was parked in a parking garage, and it would not start, no engine, or into acc mode because the escl did not sense the brake pedal being pressed or the wheel in an unlocked position. The brake pedal was stiff, and engine start button did not work. A solid amber key icon on the dash board would come up and disappear. The car had to be towed to the dealership. Did some research, and it turns out that nissan had problems w several escl parts revised over time in various models from 2009-2010 including cube 2009 and altima/maxima 2010 which seemed to share the same escl part used in cube 2010. Waiting to hear from the dealer if nissan covers for this issue. |
