Description of the problem	Beware to anybody who drives a 2009 or 2010 nissan altima. For no reason whatsoever, it will decide to not start and strand you - severe issue. It's escl (electronic steering column lock: your car acts like it was broken into and / or stolen), which is clearly a manufacturing problem which they refuse to put on the recall list, even though it's listed on nhtsa's service bulletin (national highway traffic safety administration). After researching this issue, there are thousands of complaints of same issue for consumers, some nissan service centers paid for it under lifetime warranty of the car, some did not. Very inconsistent! The same item for murano was listed on the recall list, yet not altima. Nissan extended the warranty on this specific issue to 6 years for altima, conveniently mine expired 2 months ago (no notification of issue and / or extended warranty). It will cost me almost $1,000. 00 to repair their defect (which i'm grudgingly paying as i need my car and they know it)! Time for a class action stance (maybe morgan & morgan), so tired of the little guy being screwed by these big companies! I loved this car until sunday, i now feel very unsure of its reliability, not to mention the money pit it may become... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
