I'm unable to turn on accessory ignition or start car due to defective steering wheel lock mechanism. Part #48700-jk000. Manufacture is unable to supply me with a new one. This is a known issue by Nissan motors, not just for Maxima, but all intelligent key models. Currently can't even roll windows up.
