Consumer Description

MY CAR WOULDN'T START. THERE IS A SOLID LIGHT WITH KEY ON DASHBOARD WOULD REMAIN LIT. I TRIED ALL METHODS TO POWER ON THE CAR, BUT FAILED. HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR REQUIRES A "STEERING LOCK ACTUATOR" REPLACEMENT AND COST RUNS TO APPROXIMATELY $1150. MY CAR IS OUTSIDE OF THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD AND HENCE IT CANNOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE UPON LOOKING UP ON THE INTERNET. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS PART AS IT IS MALFUNCTIONING MORE THAN USUAL. *TR
