As soon as the tow truck driver pulled in, he knew exactly what was wrong with it, without me even saying anything. This is obviously and ongoing problem. Even the Nissan dealership just happened to have a steering column and part for my particular problem. This should be recalled and I should be refunded for this issue. There are so many complaints about this. This is ridiculous. $1125 is crazy!
