Consumer Description

I PARKED TO GET GAS AND WHEN I WENT TO START MY VEHICLE, IT DID NOTHING. CHECKED BATTERY AND EVERYTHING ELSE TO MY KNOWLEDGE THEN HAD IT TOWED TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE "STEERING WHEEL LOCK HAS GONE BAD." TOWING COST WAS $65 AND TOTAL COST OF REPAIR WAS $1198.50. MY WARRANTY ENDED IN OCTOBER OF 2012, SO THIS WAS PAID OUT OF POCKET. I WAS WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR 4 DAYS. IT HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING AND I WAS STRANDED AT THE GAS STATION. IF YOUR STEERING LOCK CONTROL UNIT IS A "REVA" OR "REVB", IT IS JUT A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE YOURS FAILS. NISSAN NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS LIKE THEY DID WITH THE NISSAN GTR. *TR
