“The steering lock unit failed on my Infiniti g25x. It was was stationary at a grocery store and when I came out it would not start so I had it towed to Infiniti of lynnwood. I see their was a recall on this part by nissan but Infiniti refused to honor it even though it's the same part. Infiniti has a great scam going as only the dealership can fix this problem so they charge outrageous prices. $2,264.14 is what the Infiniti dealership wants to fix this. Please help.”
