electronic steering wheel lock failure Left wife stranded in 8 degree freezing weather for hours, until AAA could schedule and tow the car home. This is a common problem and Nissan knows about it. Hundreds of thousands of cars from 2009 thru 2013 have been repaired as they fail, and they have extended warranties for this particular problem.
Will not issue a recall, just repaired at dealer and hoped it would be covered. They won't cover the cost of the part ($500), and labor $400.
This poorly designed electronic module has been replaced with a new, improved unit they redesigned to fix this problem. A recall is called for.
I worked as a Manufacturing Engineer at Ford Motor Company many years ago. Poorly designed parts should be replaced for free when they fix the problem with a newly designed part.
Remember the ignition switch problem with GM that caused failures when too many keys hung on the lock? They quietly redesigned the switch and installed them on newer cars.
Nissan has done the same thing. Redesigned the anti-theft module and installed on newer modules.
