Description of the problem	The key fob unlocked the car but the car would not start when i tried to start it. The yellow key light indicator was on the dash. The push-start button stayed in the lock position. I had the car towed to the nissan dealer. They told me that the steering lock unit malfunctioned and needed to be replaced. The car will not start up until it is replaced. The part is not under warranty. My final quote was $775 from the dealer.
