Expert:  NISSAN TECH replied314 days and 11 hours ago.

just lock the doors then turn the steering wheel it should lock let me know

Customer replied314 days and 11 hours ago.

the steering wheel does not lock. With some effort i can move it in both directions.

ok the problem is the steering lock unit , the unit has gone bad and will need to be replace , it is located under the steering wheel , if you just remove the lower dash cover under the steering wheel you will see the unit bolted to the lower part to the steering shaft ,it is a small sliver looking box with one white electrical connector to it . replace that unit this will fix the problem . and when we are done please remember to rate my answer .
