Hello ~ I had the unfortunate experience of having someone attempt to
steal my 97 Maxima some time ago. With the amount of money I've put
into repairs recently and at just shy of 200K, in some respects, it
would've been better for me had they gotten away with it! Instead,
they just busted up the ignition to the point where the entire
steering column had to be replaced. The mechanic, I suspect, didn't
really know what he was doing because he kept swapping out salvage
steering columns (3 total) and saying that "this one is missing that
switch" yadda yadda. Ultimately, I got tired of taking the car back,
only to have them NOT figure it out - even though my insurance had
already paid them - and to this day, have a flashing airbag light and
a horn that doesn't work. Except that when I accidentally tripped up
the alarm the other day, the horn WAS going off. So, it's just when I
press the steering wheel that I get no response. Does this sound like
a fairly simple fix, or am I looking at another costly repair if I
want to get that taken care of??

Thanks!
