Unexpectedly the 2010 nissan maxima wouldn't start. I then check this website, and find a ton of complaints about the same issue! The electronic steering lock control! I don't understand how nissan isn't held responsible for this faulty part. I paid almost $40,000 for a car that won't start. This can happen without any warning. My issue occured with my 4 month old son in the vehicle while everyone else I knew was at work. This is completely unacceptable! This same part number was recalled in previous years for the maxima! The vehicle was stationary after stopping at the bank to make a deposit. Will someone please hold nissan responsible for this ongoing issue!

My engine light came on yesterday morning car was stalling a little was driving in my neighborhood when my car started slowing down once I put my foot on the accelerator it started to make noises like a motorcycle and wouldn't move fast. Car stop on my street and we had to push it into my driveway. Now when I crank my car it makes the motorcycle noise for a few seconds and then goes away. Can't drive it but can change the gears with ease. Took it to a shop and stated that it is the transmission.
