2010 NISSAN MAXIMA Equipment Adaptivemobility Problems

ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK - (ESCL) FAILED. CAR WILL NOT START. KEY FOB IS OPERATIONAL. KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2009-2010 NISSANS. UNITS ARE DEFECTIVE, NISSAN NOT WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR 2010 PARTS. FAILURE WILL HAPPEN INSTANTLY, AND WILL LEAVE YOU STRANDED ANYTIME ANYPLACE. VEHICLE HAS TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. REPAIR COST IS >$1,000.00

I TRIED TO START MY CAR THIS MORNING BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THERE WAS YELLOW LIGHT THAT SAID KEY AND WHEN I TRIED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE NOTHING HAPPENED. THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE 2009 MAXIMAS FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE THAT I HAVE - ITS DUE TO THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKING. NO EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS GIVEN FOR THE 2010'S WHICH IS WRONG BECAUSE CLEARLY THERE STILL A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING COLUMN THAT WAS NOT FIXED FOR THE 2010 MODELS BUT NISSAN STATED THAT IS WAS INFACT FIXED AND NO WARRANTY/DISCOUNT/ETC WILL BE GIVEN FOR THE 2010S. I WILL HAVE TO PAY OVER $1000 FOR FAULTY DESIGN DUE TO NISSAN. NEVER BUYING ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN! *TR

THIS IS ALL PART OF THE VEHICLE ANTI-THEFT IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS UNIT WAS $1041.17. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY FLAW IN THE 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA. THIS WAS A FULLY FUNCTIONING CAR (EXCEPT FOR ANTI-THEFT CIRCUIT GLITCH) THAT LEFT ME STRANDED IN A SITUATION WHERE MY CAR COULD HAVE BEEN TOWED BY THE CITY. NISSAN PROMOTES HOW SAFE, RELIABLE AND ECONOMICAL THEIR CARS ARE, BUT THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM CAN DISABLE THE VEHICLE LEAVING DRIVER STRANDED WITH ONLY ONE OPTION, WHICH IS, TO BE TOWED TO A DEALER BECAUSE OF ANT-THEFT SYSTEM GLITCHES. THIS IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY TO FEMALE DRIVERS.I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD...
