2009 Nissan ALTIMA Steering Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1170106
Internal NHTSA #	10701826
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2009
File date	23/03/15
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Steering lock escl, malfunctioned and car wouldn't start. I was at my job leaving to pick up my 2 children from school, and could not get my car to start. I had to wait for my sister to get out of work to pick me up and then go get my kids who were waiting at school long after hours to be picked up. Nissan acknowledges that the error was theirs during manufacturing but did not notify altima owners and now i missed the "extended warranty" by 3 months when this should have been recalled in the first place and the cost to repair is over $1,000. Thankfully my father in law was able to tow my car, but this has happened to 100s of nissan altima owners in the 2009 models. He was able to do a temporary fix, but it has not been replaced due to the expense that i cannot spare right now. But just because it doesn't happen while driving doesn't mean that it is not a safety issue. Not being able to start your car in for example, winter, at night, on a vacation or far from home, with my 2 young elementary school daughters in the car with me is a safety issue!!!!!!!!! If a recall never happens, then this will be the last nissan i ever own, and i will be spreading the word on facebook as well!!!!!!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
