NHTSA Complaint #10819724 — 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA

I DOUBLE PARKED MY 2010 MAXIMA TO RUN INTO A STORE TO BUY A NEWSPAPER. WHEN I RETURNED A MINUTE LATER TO THE CAR, IT WOULD NOT START - THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED. I WAS STRANDED ON A VERY BUSY AVENUE WITH A LOT OF TRAFFIC. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE 2010 MAXIMA, I AM SHOCKED THAT NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED THIS CAR TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. I HAD TO WAIT 4 HOURS IN THE FREEZING COLD BEFORE A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. THE DRIVER TOOK ME TO THE BAY RIDGE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED AT A COST OF $1,056.00. I ALSO MISSED A DAY'S WORK DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS DEFINITELY A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION.
