Description of the problem	On the morning of 11-28-2013 i entered my vehicle to leave work and proceeded to turn it on, however it would not start. There was an amber colored light on the dash of a car and key and the vehicle stayed in lock mode. After several attempts to start the vehicle, jumping the battery to make sure it was charged and changing the fob battery it still wouldn't work. After some research and speaking with the dealership about the problem it was determined that the steering lock assembly had malfunctioned and would need to be replaced. My car at this point is completely useless. After researching this issue i found that this is a very common problem with the 2008-2010 nissan altima's and the part was actually removed from the vehicle specifications in 2010. This is a safety concern because there is no way to move the vehicle once it malfunctions other than towing it. All that it takes for the malfunction to occur is the vehicle to be turned off. I had no notice that there was a problem. It simply would not start. With the number of complaints regarding this part and the number of people who have been stranded due to this faulty mechanism , the manufacturer needs to answer to something.
