Consumer Description

LUCKILY THE CAR WAS PARKED AND WOULDN'T START FOR THIS INCIDENT. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE STEERING LOCK MECHANISM. WE'RE GLAD IT WASN'T BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE TIME IT FAILED AND POSSIBLY LOCKED UP THE STEERING COLUMN. THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. THE REPLACEMENT COST OF THIS PART IS OUTRAGEOUS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED OR REPLACED BY NISSAN. THEY'VE HAD A HISTORY OF ISSUES WITH THIS AND SHOULD REFUND US THE $1000 IT COST JUST FOR THE REPAIR BILL. IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT PEOPLE KEEP GETTING TAKEN FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. *TR
