2009 Nissan Altima

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE BRAKE WAS EXTREMELY STIFF, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED AND PUSHING THE START BUTTON DID NOTHING. AAA CAME AND SAID IT WASN'T THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR OR STARTER. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER ' THEY SAID IT WAS A DEFECTIVE STEERING LOCK MODULE WHICH HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IT WAS EXPIRED. THIS COST ME APPROXIMATELY $700 FOR THE TOW, PART AND LABOR. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THEY THOUGHT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE PART WAS DEFECTIVE, NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND IT COULD LEAVE PEOPLE STRANDED IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT WAS UNABLE TO START. THE "PUSH TO START" DID NOT START THE ENGINE AND THE STEERING FAILED. THE FAILURE WAS INCLUDED IN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS NOT SURE IF THE VEHICLE WOULD STILL BE COVERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 143,000.

I PULLED IN TO THE GAS STATION LATE NIGHT DECEMBER 9,2015, AND AFTER FILLING UP, THE CAR REFUSED TO START. WHEN TESTED IT SHOWED THAT THE BATTERY WAS FINE. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (EVEN THE TOW COMPANY WORKER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL CAR). TRUE TO THE WORKER'S EXPERIENCE, THE DEALER TOLD ME THE CAR HAD A STEERING PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE UNDERTAKING, AND EXTREMELY INCONVENIENCING. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FROM THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I READ.

THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK FRACTURED. THE COMPONENT WAS RECALLED AND REPAIRED PREVIOUSLY; THEREFORE, THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THE DEALER ALSO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,479.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHEN THE KEY WAS INSERTED IN THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE STEERING ABILITY SEIZED.
