Description of the problem	I had only one issue with my 08 altima. The car would occasionally not recognize either of the key-fobs for what seemed like no reason. It did not seem to matter what time of day, temp., or weather. I even replaced the batteries of the key-fobs and the cars battery as well. (which was suggested as the first try to remedy this problem). On may 3, 2013 with about 66,000 miles or so (still a baby as far as car mileage goes) i had no issues starting the car or with it recognizing the key-fob. The 'issue" happened as i was making a lane change. The steering wheel locked making it impossible to control the car causing us (2 children and myself) to crash. My car was totaled... And after this experience i will not be purchasing or riding in another nissan again. I'm certain had i been on a major hwy when this occurred we would have died and others injured/dead as well.
