I am being told that this is a common issue for the 2009 altimas, what with the steering column locking, and not being able to start. Nissan has been aware of this problem, and still no recall.

Please wont you help those of us with this issue with a recall ! [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
