Description of the problem	I was at the grocery store around the corner from my house i parked went into the store to purchase a few things. I got back to the car no more than 15 minutes later unlocked the car with the fob and got in. Try to start the car and it did not start. I tried plugging it in to the fob holder and the car still did not start. I saw the key light on the dash turn on. I had to have the car towed to the nissan dealership upon having the vehicle examined it was determined that the electronic steering control lock had malfunctioned. They told me it will $ 1020. 00 to fix. I researched to see if this was an issued with the 2009 nissan altima and what do i discover that people have been have the this issued since 2011 when the vehicle was not even 3 years old yet. This is rediculous and outright negligent on nissan's part for not recalling this part. I have seen well over a 1,000 complaint regarding this issue. Some have left people stranded in bad conditions. Nissan needs to reimburse each and every customer for this issue as they choose to use a very faulty part.
