2009 Nissan Altima Steering

DEC 2 2016..ON MY WAY TO WORK AT 5AM CAR WOULD NOT START AT GAS PUMP AFTER ALL FAIL ATTEMPT TO START EVEN BY NISSIAN PRO..CAR WAS TOWED..ONE HOUR TO REPAIR 880 DOLLAR STEERING LOCK..LOST 2 DAY PAY.. NEVER RECIEVED EXTENDED WARRANTY YET WAS TOLD CAR HAS 65000 EXCELLENT CONDITION SO I THOUGHT..NISSIAN NEED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE

STEERING LOCK UNIT FAILURE, CAR WOULDN'T START AND LEFT ME STRANDED AND HAD TO BE TOWED. I UNDERSTAND THIS PART HAS HAD THOUSANDS OF FAILURES FROM ONLINE RESEARCH FOR THIS VEHICLE BUT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED

NISSAN ALTIMA STEERING LOCK MECHANISM. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CAR WILL NOT START. NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS PART FOR SOME OF ITS VEHICLES. THE PART IS DEFECTIVE AND THE RECALL SHOULD BE CONTINUED.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND I WAS STRANDED. MY CELL PHONE BATTERY WAS DYING AND COULD NOT RECHARGE BECAUSE THE STEERING LOCK PART MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD NOT ALLOW CAR TO START. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF AND THEY WILL NOT RECALL OR REPLACE. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DISABLED.

MY DAUGHTER DROVE THE CAR TO HER HOSPITAL IN NJ AND WHEN SHE RETURNED A FEW HOURS LATER TO DRIVE BACK TO HER HOME ON LI THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THE REMOTE OPENED THE DOORS BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND CAR WOULD NOT START WHEN SHE PUSHED THE START BUTTON. I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY ESCL. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2009 ALTIMA'S. I CALLED NISSAN AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER. DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL HELP. DEALER QUOTED ALMOST $700 JUST FOR THE PART, SAID THE PROBLEM IS SO COMMON HE KEEPS THE PART IN STOCK.

I WAS READY TO LEFT ANOTHER LABOR DAY AFTER 10HRS WORK,REALLY BAD DAY I MEAN RAINING ALL DAY. BY THE TIME I WAS READY TO LEAVE AND START MY ALTIMA09 I GET THIS TERRIFIC NOTICE THAT MY CAR WON'T START,IMMEDIATELY IN MEDIA CONTACT DEALER ON LAS VEGAS NEVADA WERE I LIVE AND THEY TOLD ME MY VEHICLE NEED TO GET REPAIR IMMEDIATELY.

I HAD STEERING WHEEL LOCK FAILURE IN AN AREA THAT WAS UNSAFE AND I COULD NOT START MY CAR AGAIN TO DRIVE AWAY. I HAD TO CALL EMERGENCY ROAD SIDE SERVICE TO TOW MY CAR TO THE DEALER WHO REPAIRED MY CAR FOR A $900 FEE. AFTER DOING FURTHER RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS CAR HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND YET HAVE FAILED TO DUE RECALLS ON THE CAR TO REPAIR THE ISSUE ONCE AND FOR ALL. I HAVE HAD 2 RECALLS ALREADY ON THIS CAR AND THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A NECESSARY RECALL AS WELL. PEOPLE COULD BE IN AREA THAT ARE NOT SAFE AND ARE UNABLE TO MOVE THEIR VEHICLE OR COULD BE IN FREEZING OR HOT WEATHER AND ARE UNABLE TO MOVE THEIR VEHICLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS. YOUR CAR BECOMES COMPLETELY DISABLED AND THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT CONTINUES TO PLAGUE THEIR CUSTOMERS. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THIS DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL I REACHED OVER 100,000 MILES, BUT OTHER PEOPLE HAD THIS OCCUR AT A SCHOOL LOW AS 33,000. THIS REPAIR RANGES ANYWHERE FROM $900 TO $1200 TO REPAIR. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THIS FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS AS THEY KNOW THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR THE 2009 AND 2010 MODELS.

TAKATA RECALL THE STEERING LOCK COLUMN ON THE 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA, AS IT IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT CAN EFFECT ANYONE WHO BELIEVES IN YOUR BRAND ENOUGH TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE.

STEERING WHEEL LOCK MECHANISM ISSUE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN. NISSAN PUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT ENDED JANUARY 1ST 2016. THIS IS A FAULTY PART AND MUST BE ADDED TO RECALL LIST. WENT TO WORK IN JANUARY OF 2017, UPON GOING TO LEAVE AFTER FACILITY WAS LOCKED UP FOR NIGHT MY CAR HAD A YELLOW KEY LIGHT ILLUMINATED. APPLIED MY BREAK PUSHED THE BUTTON AND NOTHING HAPPENED. HAD HAPPENED INTERMEDIATELY BEFORE HAND. I WAS UNABLE TO START MY PARKED CAR. IT WAS 0F AND HAD TO WALK HOME 5 MILES. NOT ONLY DOES IT LOCK OUT THE KEY BUT IT DOES NOT LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DISENGAGING THE ENGINE. THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IF THE PARK MECHANISM FAILS OR U DRIVE A MANUAL AND UR E-BRAKE FAILS THE CAR COULD POTENTIALLY ROLL AWAY UNCONTROLLABLY BECAUSE THE WHEEL CAN TURN FREELY WHEN CAR IS OFF. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY HARM OR WORSE KILL SOMEONE. PLEASE HELP DO THE RIGHT THING AND MAKE SURE NISSAN CAN PROPERLY TAKE CAR OF THIS FAULTY POSSIBLY DEADLY ISSUE. THANK YOU CONCERNED NISSAN OWNER. *TR

MY DAUGHTER 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA WHICH SHE BROUGHT FROM TURNERSVILLE NISSAN IN TURNERSVILLE NJ FEB LAST YEAR 2016 HER CAR WOULD NOT START COME FIND OUT IT WAS STEERING WHEEL LOCK DEFECT WHICH WAS RECALL FOR THAT THEY TELLING HER RECALL DATE ENDED THEY KNOW GOING CHARGE HER 900 DOLLARS FIX IT IF KNEW RECALL SHE SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED IT AT NISSAN PLACE AS OF 1 DAY AGO FOR RECALL PROBLEM AND IF NISSAN KNEW OF RECALLS WITH STEERING THEY SHOULD LET PERSON KNOW WHEN PURCHASE CAR OF ANY RECALLS SHE SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED FOR THIS AN IF SHE WAS DRIVING THAT DAY SHE COULD GOTTEN HURT WHEN CAR JUST DID NOT START AND SHOULD NOT BE A TIME FRAME ON RECALLS THEY TOLD HER SHE MISSED IT THAT WHY SHE HAVE PAY I DISAGREE. *TR

MY CAR WOULDN'T START, WITH NO WARMING OR INDICATOR. THANKFULLY, FOR MY SAFETY, IT WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE OVERNIGHT, HOWEVER, THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS SITUATION. I LOOKED THROUGH THE MANUAL AND FOUND OUT THAT THE CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE STEERING WHEEL LOCK THAT WILL COST AROUND $1,000. THIS IS A COMMON AND KNOWN PROBLEM WHICH NISSAN IS APPARENTLY AWARE OF, SO I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE THEM RECALL THIS PART.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY CAR WOULD NOT START THE IGNITION AFTER LOCKING IT. EVEN THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WON'T COME UP. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN THE CITY AND COULD GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. IT WAS FOUND OUT THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK (ESCL) HAD GONE CORRUPT. WHEN I SEARCHED ON INTERNET, IT APPEARED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA MODELS. HOWEVER THERE IS RECALL ISSUED BY THE COMPANY. I HAD TO GET THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK REPLACED AT MY OWN COST, WHICH WAS OVER $700. I WAS LUCKY THAT IT HAPPENED WITHIN CITY LIMITS. HAD I BEEN AT A REMOTE PLACE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A LOT OF TROUBLE. THIS IS A CLEAR CASE OF NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE COMPANY. WHEN IT IS KNOWN THAT ESCL IS A PROBLEM FOR 2009 ALTIMA'S THEN THE COMPANY SHOULD AT LEAST GET THE PART REPLACED. UTTERLY DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN. IT'S CERTAIN THAT I'LL DEFINITELY NOT BE BUYING A NISSAN FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN A BUSINESS LOT WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANYTHING BEING WRONG WITH THE CAR. HOWEVER WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR IT WOULD NOT START. IT WAS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE KEY FOB. IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE STERLING LOCK SYSTEM IN THE CAR. AN ISSUE THAT NISSAN SAID WAS MADE FAULTY. SO AS A RESULT, I COULD NOT START MY CAR AND WAS STRANDED. SO I HAD TO CALL A CAB TO GET HOME AND HAVE MY CAR TOWED. I UNDERSTAND THAT THINGS GO WRONG WITH CARS AND SOMETIMES IT IS BECAUSE PEOPLE PUT OFF NECESSARY REPAIRS. HOWEVER THERE WAS NO SIGN THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AND NISSAN KNOWS IT'S A PROBLEM WITH THE PRODUCT THEY PUT OUT. I THANK GOD I WASN'T OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A REALLY UGLY SITUATION LIKE SOME OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PUT IN.

THE ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK MALFUNCTIONED, LEAVING THE CAR ENTIRELY INCAPABLE OF STARTING. THE CAR HAD BEEN SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS AT WORK, SNOW HAD STARTED TO FALL AND IT DIPPED INTO FREEZING TEMPERATURES. I WENT TO LEAVE WORK LATE AT NIGHT ONLY TO FIND I COULD NOT START THE CAR DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS. THE KEY FOB ALLOWED ME TO UNLOCK AND LOCK MY DOORS, AND THERE WAS POWER TO THE CAR AS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS POWERED ON, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE THAT I HAD A KEY (AND A SPARE KEY) PRESENT. INSERTING IT IN THE KEY SLOT DID NOTHING. IT WOULDN'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO START IF I PUSHED THE "START" BUTTON. NISSAN QUOTED AROUND $1100 TO REPAIR THE CAR ONCE I MANAGED TO GET AHOLD OF SOMEONE AT THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. NOT HAVING $1100, I REPAIRED IT BY BANGING ON THE ESCL WITH A WRENCH UNTIL THE ESCL DISENGAGED, WHICH ALLOWED ME TO POWER THE CAR TO THE "ON" POSITION, STARTED THE CAR, AND PULLED THE FUSE FOR THE ESCL TO PREVENT IT FROM ENGAGING AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. IT HAS STARTED UP EVERY TIME SINCE I'VE DISABLED THIS PART, BUT IT TOOK SOME MAJOR RESEARCH ON MY PART TO FIND A WORKAROUND. THIS PART NEEDS TO BE FULLY RECALLED, IN MY OPINION, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS BEING A PROPRIETARY NISSAN PART AND SAFETY HAZARD. HAD I NOT HAD A COWORKER WAIT BEHIND WITH ME TO GIVE ME A SLOW AND SLIPPERY RIDE HOME (TOW TRUCKS HAD 3 HOUR WAITS THAT NIGHT DUE TO ICE), I'D HAVE FOUND MYSELF FROZEN, AND THEN WHO KNOWS WHAT BEING THAT ALL BUSINESS SHUT DOWN OVER THE WEEKEND. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I WAS READY TO GO HOME AT THE LIGHTRAIL STATION AND I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO START. IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT AND COLD, PLUS THE STATION IS IN A NOT-SO-SAFE PLACE. I HAD TO CALL MY WIFE TO COME WITH OUR 5 WEEK OLD INFANT IN HER CAR TO GET AAA. THE AAA GUY COULD NOT FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEN WE TOWED THE CAR TO THE DEALER. AND WE HAD TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT DAY TO FIND OUT THAT THE STEERING LOCK WAS BAD. AND IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE TO NISSAN AND THEY DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL. INSTEAD NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR ESCL. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS PAST THE WARRANTY EXTENSION. AND I HAD TO PAY OVER $1100 TO FIX SOME DEFETIVE PART. SHAME ON NISSAN. NOW THERE WILL BE LESS DIAPER FOR MY BABY AND DEFINITELY WON'T BE A NISSAN CUSTOMER AGAIN.

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). I AM WRITING ON BEHALF OF MY 80 YEAR OLD PARENTS. THIS 2009 ALTIMA IS THEIR ONLY VEHICLE AND SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. AT WORK LAST WEEK, MY MOTHER WAS HEADED HOME TO CHECK ON MY FATHER WHO HAS RECENTLY HAD A STROKE. HER VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AFTER CONVERSATIONS WITH DEALERS WHO ARE 75+ MILES AWAY, WE DETERMINED THAT HER STEERING WHEEL LOCK MECHANISM HAD FAILED. THIS RENDERED THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THIS PART WAS REPLACED FOR $1055, (NOT INCLUDING TOWING FEE, $327). THIS IS THE SAME PART THAT NISSAN HAD ISSUED AN "EXTENDED WARRANTY" ON FOR 6 YEARS WITH FREE REPLACEMENT AND UNLIMITED MILEAGE RESTRICTION. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THEY HAVE YET BEEN UNCOMPROMISING THAT THIS IS NOW AN OUT OF WARRANTY REPAIR. STILL YET, THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PART FOR FAILURE AND NEVER CONTACTED MY PARENTS REGARDING THIS POSSIBLE ISSUE. THIS CAR HAD 43,989 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS EVENT TOOK PLACE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS ISN'T JUST A WORN OUT CUSHION ON A SEAT THAT COULD EASILY BE OVERLOOKED IF FAILURE OCCURRED. INSTEAD, THIS RENDERS THE VEHICLE UN-OPERABLE AND COULD HAVE HAPPENED AT A TIME OF GREATER NEED. IF THE PART HAS BEEN KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE AND WAS DISCONTINUED ON THE NEXT GENERATION OF THE ALTIMA, WHY WAS IT NOT RECALLED? THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS A BANDAID ON A LARGE WOUND. PERHAPS THE LOW NUMBER OF MILES NEVER LET THIS CAR BE CYCLED AS OFTEN IN ORDER FOR THE FAILURE TO OCCUR PRIOR TO THE 6 YEAR CUTOFF. STILL YET, A BILL OF NEARLY $1400 HAS BEEN GENERATED FOR TWO SENIOR ADULTS WHO LIVE ON A FIXED INCOME, BUT DO STILL RELY ON THEIR VEHICLE. AT THE VERY LEAST, THEY SHOULD COVER THEIR EXPENSES. IT HAS BEEN AN INCONVENIENCE, BUT COULD HAVE OCCURRED DURING A TIME OF MEDICAL NEED FOR THEM. PLEASE HELP, IF POSSIBLE. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED, [XXX] C/O [XXX] *DL

DROVE HOME FROM WORK ONE DAY WITH NO ISSUES. THEN A COUPLE HOURS LATER, I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND THERE WAS A STEERING LOCK MALFUNCTION MAKING THE CAR IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN ON. COST TO FIX WITH TOW NEARLY $1200.

THE CAR FAILED TO START DUE TO A STEERING WHEEL LOCK MECHANISM FAILURE AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK MECHANISM REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF THIS FAILURE, HOWEVER THESE UNITS SHOULD BE FAIRLY RELIABLE AND SHOULD NOT BE FAILING. IT APPEARS THAT THE UNIT USED IN THESE CARS HAS A PARTICULAR DESIGN FLAW THAT CAUSES THESE UNITS TO FAIL AND NISSAN HAS MANY COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE FAILURE OF THESE UNITS. MY BIGGER QUESTION IS TO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THESE UNITS FAIL WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AROUND IN DEATH TRAPS THAT MAY LOCK THEIR STEERING WHILE DRIVING? I HAD THE UNIT REPLACED AND CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS NOT ABLE TO GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER ON IF THESE UNITS ARE SAFE, IF THE REPLACEMENT IS SAFE, IF THE REPLACEMENT CONTAINS THE SAME DEFECT AS THE ORIGINAL UNIT. NISSAN HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS UNIT, BUT OBVIOUSLY IT HAS NOT BEEN LONG ENOUGH, OR THE REPLACEMENT UNITS ARE FAILING AS WELL. SUCH A SIMPLE UNIT THAT OBVIOUSLY HAS A WEARING DESIGN FLAW THAT MAY POTENTIALLY LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF A VEHICLE IF IT DOES NOT FAIL SAFE. DOES IT FAIL SAFE?

I TRIED TO START NISSAN ALTIMA AFTER SHOPPING AND WOULD NOT START. STEERING WAS LOCKED UP AND TRANSMISSION.I WAS NOT IN THE SAFEST PART OF TOWN SO I WAS WORRIED FOR MY SAFETY.THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME SO I KNEW IT WAS THE STEERING LOCK UNIT GONE BAD AGAIN. FIRST TIME WAS 3 YEARS AGO AND IT WAS REPLACED FREE AT NISSAN DEALER THIS TIME IT COST ME $ 1009.56 AT SAME NISSAN DEALER. NEED TO RECALL SO THIS MATTER CAN BE FIXED. I CANT AFFORD A CAR THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE SAME $1000 PART EVERY 3 YEARS.

PARKED CAR AT A PLANET FITNESS BECAUSE MY 6 YEAR OLD AUTISTIC DAUGHTER WAS HAVING A MELTDOWN. WHEN THAT WAS ALL AND DONE WITH WE COME BACK TO THE CAR AND IT WILL NOT TURN ON. THE NO KEY ICON COMES ON THE LEFT TOP SIDE THE LOCK SIGN IS BLINKING, AND NO KEY IN THE MIDDLE RED SIGN. . MY CHILDREN AND I ARE STRANDED. *TR

POWER STEERING LOCK, HAS BROKE AGAIN AFTER BEING FIXED JUST 50,000 MILES BEFORE. IT IS TIME FOR A RECALL. THIS HAPPENED IN SITUATION WHERE I COULD DO NOTHING TO FIX IT. GETTING A TOW AND A BILL OF OVER 1000 IS NOT MY VERSION OF A GOOD DAY. RECALL!!

THE STEERING LOCK MECHANISM IS DEFECTIVE THE CAR SHUT OFF CAUSING IT TO STEER HARD. THEN CAR WON'T START. IT COSTS $800+ TO FIX THE CAR. IT ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT.AND AT ONE TIME THIS PART HAD A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON IT THEN NISSAN CHANGED IT TO 6 YEARS WHEN THEY STARTED TO GET COMPLAINTS. OUR CAR RAN OUT OF THE WARRANTY IN JULY BUT WE DIDN'T RECEIVE A NOTIFICATION ABOUT IT . LUCKILY WE WAS ABLE TO BYPASS THE STEERING LOCK. SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHECK NISSAN ALTIMA'S CAR ACCIDENT DEATHS BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS CAR WRECK AND I PREDICT THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE PART.

RECENTLY MY 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA EXPERIENCE A STEERING COLUMN LOCK FAILURE THAT LEFT MY CAR INCOMPACITATED (UNABLE TO START) AND LEFT ME IN FREEZING COLD TEMPERATURES.

NISSAN ALTIMA 2009 PARKED ON SIDE OF ROAD IN ORDER TO CHANGE DRIVERS. THE ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK ACTIVATED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND EMOTIONALLY DAMAGING EXPERIENCE. WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN EASY ROUTINE CHANGE TO AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER IN AN UNKNOWN NEIGHBORHOOD RESULTED IN PASSENGERS BEING STRANDED AND REQUIRING ASSISTANCE TO CONTACT AND WAIT FOR A TOW-TRUCK FOR AN OTHERWISE FUNCTIONING VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS ULTIMATELY BROUGHT TO NISSAN FOR REPAIRS (AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS) WITH ESTIMATED COST OF $1290. COMPARED TO THE LISTED KBB PRICE OF THE VEHICLE AT $6442, THE COSTS FOR REPAIR IS ABOUT 20% OF THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS LATER INFORMED US THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY (WHICH WAS EXTENDED FOR A PERIOD OF 6 YEARS UP TO 2015 AS NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE ESCL DEFECT FOR OUR VIN) AND WILL NOT ASSIST WITH REPAIRS. *TR

ON 12/26/11 I WENT TO DO AN ERRAND. I PARKED THE CAR, CAME BACK, AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. ALL THE ELECTRICAL WORKED. I HAD THE KEY WITH ME, YET THE CAR WOULD START. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE CAPITOL NISSAN IN ATLANTA. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY STEERING LOCK UNIT. THEY REPLACED THE PART AS WELL AS THE IGNITION SWITCH ASSEMBLY. THE MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS 33,572. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN OCT 2011. ON 12/21/16 I WENT OUT TO DO AN ERRAND, RETURNED TO MY CAR, AND IT WOULDN'T START. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO NALLEY NISSAN, WHO BOUGHT CAPITOL NISSAN. THE SAME SCENARIO. ALL ELECTRICAL WORKED. I HAD THE KEY YET THE CAR WOULDN'T START. THEY DIAGNOSED IT WITH A FAULTY STEERING LOCK UNIT AND REPLACED IT. AT THIS TIME THE MILEAGE WAS 59,125. THE FIRST REPLACEMENT OF THIS UNIT THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THIS RECENT INCIDENT IT WASN'T.
