What owners wrote
Nissan listen up ------------------------------ this is a known issue with the nissan steering lock mechanism as others have reported. My car was stranded in the middle of nowhere. Could not start the car, the manual key was not help. Car would not start. I tried to order the part, steering lock version 'd', but it's backordered and nissan USA is not selling this part to consumers according to northern virginia nissan dealers.
I went to the store and parked my car. When I went back out to my car 15 mins later the steering wheel column had locked up and would not allow me to start my car. It no longer recognized the key. This appears to be a reoccurring issue with my make and model and therefore should be a recall.
