Description of the problem	2009 altimas appeared to have a known issue regarding the steering lock column. Nissan did not issue a recall, but instead offered to replace the steering lock only once the vehicle broke down, with this offer expiring jan 1st 2016 apparently. My car has only 55,000 miles on it, and in march 2016 started experiencing this issue. Car would just be unable to start at all. I have spent money having to get the car towed to the dealership, and now it will cost me $1325. 00 to replace the steering lock. Since this was a known issue that nissan knew about, the replacement coverage period should be extended indefinitely, or a recall needs to be issued.
