Description of the problem	When i entered my car i noticed that the push brake light wasn't on like it normally is for the intelligent key start. I pushed down on the brake and it felt very stiff. A yellow key light kept flashing and everytime i would try and start the car it would stay in lock and wouldn't even try to start. I didn't hear the ignition, nothing. I tried to check the battery, i used a different key, i put the key in the slot and nothing worked. I was stranded. The car was working fine and had no previous indicators that something could go wrong. As i searched online for a fix i found many people who had the same problem and had to pay a huge amount of money to get it fixed. Nissan promotes how safe, reliable and economical their cars are, but the anti-theft system of the steering wheel lock can disable the vehicle leaving a driver stranded with only one option, which is, to be towed to a dealer. This a serious safety flaw in the 2009 nissan altima. Nissan was supposed to be a reputable company. However, with these types of malfunctions, and no support for their customers, i feel very unsatisfied and unsafe with my purchase. Nissan needs to provide a recall and fix these sensor issues.
