NHTSA Complaint #10560419 — 2009 NISSAN MAXIMA

STEERING WHEEL MOTOR STARTED GRINDING AND LOCKED IN THE LOWEST POSITION DIFFICULT TO STEER IN THAT POSITION UNTIL FIXED CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO CAMPAIGN, EXTENDED WARRANTY, OR PROBLEM THEY KNOW OF. THEY ADMITTED TO EXTENDED WARRANTY ON PUSH BUTTON IGNITION REPLACED MOTOR AT A COST OF $420 NISSAN IS IGNORING THE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET FORUMS, PROBLEM OCCURRING IN 2009 MAXIMAS AND MURANOS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY REPLACE 2-3 A WEEK. IF IT IS TRUE, AT EVERY DEALERSHIP IT IS ABOUT 40 % OF ALL MAXIMAS SOLD IN 09 HAVE THE BAD MOTOR WHICH COSTS $189. NISSAN NEEDS TO COVER THE COST FOR THIS DEFECTIVE MOTOR !!!!!! THE START BUTTON AND STEERING COLUMN ARE RELATED PARTS !!!!!!! *TR
