Description of the problem	I was parked at a store and the car wouldn't start. I looked up a temporary fix and was able to get the vehicle started. Once i got home, i researched the problem and discovered that nissan knew what the issue was: the steering lock assembly was malfunctioning. This is an intermittent problem. It can occur anywhere or any time. Nissan extended the warranty (just for that part) 6 years. The dealership informed me that they wouldn't honor the extended warranty unless they could duplicate the fault... And they would charge an $80. 00 fee... Just for a mechanic sitting in the car and starting it. And if i wanted to have the work done anyway, it would cost approximately $1200. 00. Obviously, i didn't leave the vehicle with them since i knew it would start at that time. The problem is, from every comment about the problem on nissan boards, from what the nissan dealership itself said, this is an intermittent problem. So the next time it happens i could be at work late at night. I could be driving across texas and stop for gas, then i'm stuck at a gas pump unable to shift into neutral to move the car. I (or my wife) could get stuck anywhere when this problem occurs again.
