Description of the problem	Include my 2009 altima 2. 5sl to the growing list of steering column electrical short problems. I too had just turned off the car and 20 minutes later returned to find it would not start. Brake felt depressed when i first put my foot on it. Pushed the button and nothing happened. Tried the key in the dash slot, and nothing. Called dealer, he told me to try and jump start with cables and that didn't work. Had to have it towed to dealer. Was told it was the very common electrical steering column short, and the fix was 1100. 00. Luckily i had purchased a service contract when i bought the car in 2011. Paid deductible of 100. 00. This absolutely should be a nissan recall. Dealer told me the problem is on the recall list for the 370z, but had not made it yet for altima. I did see through research and a friend who works for nissan, that they changed that wiring in the model years that followed.
