2009 Nissan Cube Steering Problems

“The electronic steering wheel lock failed car wont start . The part was replaced in july 2011 on a recall the new part failed in june 2014 Nissan would not replace a 2ed time under recall, with much begging they paid for part I paid for labor. This left my wife stranded in a less than ideal spot Nissan extended the warranty on this same part on 2009 Nissan altima but not on CUBE.”

“The steering lock column unit in my 2009 Nissan CUBE failed, disabling the car from starting, and putting me at risk as I was stuck in a location away from my home, and unable to start my car. My car was parked on a city street. I could unlock and lock the vehicle, but I could not start the car using my intelligent key. It was towed to a Nissan dealership in newport, ri where I am being charged $814.00 in parts and labor to replace a part that Nissan has acknowledged is faulty not only in the CUBE, but also in the altima. …”

“Nissan issued a voluntary service campaign bulletin ntb11-057 on june 23, 2011. This notice acknowledges a manufacturing defect with the electronic steering column lock (escl) which renders the vehicle incapable of starting.

When the service technician proceeded to initiate a service comm to repair the defect as instructed in the bulletin produced by Nissan when he entered my VIN the voluntary service campaign was not noted on my VIN record. …”

“Escl failed for 3rd time. Drove the car, parked it for 15 minutes and it would not start when I came back out. This will make the 3rd escl installed in my car by Nissan since I bought it new in july 2009. The 2nd escl was replaced under warranty on november 2011 at 22912 miles. The 3rd one cost me $892.09 plus $140 to tow it to the dealership. It took Nissan warranty 2 weeks to tell me that they would reimburse me for the cost of the part only. Dealing with the warranty people was more frustrating than going to the dmv. …”

“The electronic steering control lock malfunctioned causing me to be unable to start my vehicle. The vehicle was stationary in my driveway at the time. There were no movements or sounds coming from the car when I tried to start it. Only the security indicator light and the key light were on in the dash. No response from the car when we attempted to jumpstart it. This essentially left me completely stranded and with living out in the country was very difficult and expensive to get the vehicle towed into the Nissan dealership. …”
