| Description of the problem | My car would not start after i parked it on a city street, i was stranded at night! After thankfully being able to safely get a ride and leaving my car, i had to go back to my car the next day. I had changed the key battery thinking that could be reason, but the car still would not start. I had to call a tow company to bring my car to a nissan dealership. I learned that there had been an extended warranty for 2009 altimas, because the electronic steering column lock had failed. I never was notified and had no choice but to have it fixed. This was a baffling and frightening experience and i was lucky that i was not stranded in the middle of nowhere! |
