Description of the problem	On 11-4-2015 after returning home from work that evening i parked my 2009 nissian altima in front of my residents,on the following morning 11-5-2015 i went to get in my vehicle to go to work but the car would not start, it appeared as though the car was searching for my key fob because the lights on the dash was aluminated with the picture of the key encircled,after trying for about 30-45 minutes i gave up and had to call my employer to inform them that i would be late not only was i late for work but i also had to have the vehicle towed to a mechanic to find out after the diagnostic test that the steering lock failure was the problem, after speaking with a service adviser on several occasions and getting no resolve and 750. 00 later i'm out of pocket for a faulty mechanical steering lock mechanism. As i researched all the possibilties and realized that this part is known to be a faulty part it's very apparent that nissian is aware of the ongoing problem with this particular part this is not an isolated incident.
