Description of the problem	I was driving on highway when "intelligent key" warning light flashed on dashboard. I continued to my work place. When i attempted to leave my place of employment, the steering wheel locked, ignition self start would not work and i had to contact aaa to bring car to dealer. I was told that when this warning light is on, the car may lock up at anytime. I was told that i ought be driving since the steering wheel would lock up in the middle of traffic. One of the representatives at the dealer indicated that many people with this car had similar problems, in fact that day there were three 2009 altimas in the same area going to the same dealer with the "smart key" locking the car. Nissan is going to reimburse $800. 00+ dollars because i believe they know this is a problem, yet they have not announced an official recall. This is very concerning for all of those people driving this vehicle with the risk of having the car lock while in motion.
