NHTSA Complaint #10649196 — 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA

I DROVE MY 2010 NISSAN MAX TO CHURCH...THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING PERFECTLY AND WE HAD JUST RECENTLY HAD IT SERVICED. WHEN I GOT IN VEHICLE TO LEAVE CHURCH THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE KEY FOB WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOOR BUT NOTHING ELSE WOULD COME ON. THERE WAS A LIGHT ON THE DASH SHOWING A KEY BUT NOTHING ELSE WORKED. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND WAS INFORMED THE ELECTRICAL STEERING COLUMN LOCK SWITCH WAS NOT WORKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR WOULD COST $1100. I WAS INFORMED NO RECALLS FOR 2010 BUT 2009 ALTIMA AND MAXIMA HAD SAME ISSUES AND RECALL WAS DONE FOR THAT YEAR ONLY. I AM SO UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN ESPECIALLY AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS AS WELL. WE HAVE ALWAYS OWNED NISSANS BUT I AM TOTALLY RECONSIDERING MY NEXT VEHICLE PURCHASE. *TR
