| Description of the problem | I took my car to wash and suddenly for no reason i just heard a noise right after that my reset tire pressure light came on for no reason, then the cruise control light came on and set was flashing, i tried to cancel it but it wouldn't then luckily i should say when i got home my ac just turned off and wouldn't turn back on then i turned the car off and when i tried to start it wouldn't start then the yellow key light turned on and i it wouldn't recognize the either key. My phone was charging and it was also damaged due to this failure. I've very upset. I had to tow it in to the dealer ship to get it diagnosed had to pay 95. 00 for it plus now they are telling me this: -----original message----- from: [xxx] sent: monday, august 12, 2013 12:20 pm to: subject: repair quote the repairs for 2008 altima are listed below steering lock assembly & screws 834. 22 labor charges 286. 20 taxes & disposal fees -95. 89 total - 1216. 31 this is absurd, i did my research and i see a lot of complaints about the same issue this needs to be recalled.
