| Description of the problem | Electronic steering column lock (escl) was malfunctioning, as diagnosed by a nissan dealer. The car was parked at my job and would not start. The brake pedal was pressed but was locked as well as the steering wheel in locked position. A solid orange key icon on the dash had started flashing. The car was towed to nissan. This is the same issue that the 2009 cubes were recalled for. It is the same part and same issue with my 2010 cube. Paying $1000 for an issue that nissan is already aware of is ridiculous. Nissan should be held accountable for every model affected by this problem, and not just the 2009s. |
