Description of the problem	After arriving home, i parked my car and went into the house. When i attempted to re-enter my car approximately 1 hour later, i pressed the brake and pushed the start button as i have done since purchasing my car approx. 4 months ago. The car would not start. The push brake sign was still illuminated and the steering wheel would not move. The brake was very hard. I left the car alone and said i would try again in the morning. I went to my vehicle at about 8:30am in the morning and problem occurred again; however, the engine finally started about 5 minutes later. I drove the car to the dealership and they diagnosed the issue to be a faulty break switch. Since the car was no longer under warranty (36 months/ 36000 miles) i had to pay $173. 00 to fix this issue which would have been more if i had not complained that the dealership was charging 2 hours labor and diagnosis for a 1 hour job. After researching the issue online i have found several other owners experiencing the same issue with their 2009 nissan altima. Nissan needs to address this issue as i could have been stranded in a remote location or overnight.
