Consumer Description

ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK IS A KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART THAT IS NOT TREATED AS SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT SEEMS TO OCCUR ONLY BEFORE STARTING SEQUENCE. HOWEVER, IF CAR STALLS OR ATTEMPT TO RESTART IN TRAFFIC SITUATION THERE IS POTENTIAL DANGER. NISSAN MODIFIED WARRANTY TO 72 MONTHS ON THIS PART BUT DID NOT NOTIFY OWNERS OF ISSUE. WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED AND PART REPLACED.... IN OUR CASE IT HAPPENED WHILE GETTING SERVICED -- AND EVEN REPLACEMENT FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED....
