NHTSA Complaint #10661018 — 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA

I WENT INTO MY CAR AND TRIED TO TURN IT ON ONLY TO SEE THE YELLOW KEY LIGHT UP ON THE DASH ALONG WITH MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP ON ME. SO I CALL NISSAN THEY TRY TO GIVE ME A COUPLE TRICKS TO MAYBE GET THE STEERING WHEEL TO UNLOCK AND NOTHING WORKED, SO I HAD TO GET IT TOWED IN. THERE THEY SAID THE ELECTRONIC STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON ME AND THERE WAS "NO SPECIFIC CAUSE" AS TO WHY THIS OCCURRED. AND THE REAL KICKER IS THAT MY CAR IS STILL COVERED UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY BUT THIS ISSUE ISN'T INCLUDED IN THAT WARRANTY SO I HAD TO PAY OVER $900 TO REPLACE IT. THE PART THAT BAFFLED ME IS THAT THIS ISSUE IS COVERED UNDER THE 09 MAXIMA AND 2010 370Z'S WARRANTY BUT THE 2010 MAXIMA EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE IS SKIPPED OVER FOR SOME REASON. *TR
