Description of the problem	Nissan altima recall morning of december 31 2015, my car was not able to start. It was not able to go to acc or on mode even when the keyless entry was recognized. I called triple a for a jump start but they were not able to jump start the either. So i got it towed to the nissan dealership for an diagnose and repair. While i was waiting i did some research on my phone looking for what might the problems may be. I kept seeing "steering wheel lock control module failure", which repair cost averaged around $1000 to 1300. Hoping this was not the issue, after receiving the diagnoses, it was that... I asked if the extended warranty was still valid but they said the warranty ended on july of 2015... I was very disappointed. Not just because the warranty ended but since my commute to school and work is very short, my mileage on the car is less than 45000 miles on a 2009 car and on a low mileage car like this and having to do a expensive repair like this on a small module that does nothing compared to its cost. I am very disappointed. I was not able to make it to my family in san diego for new years and stuck with long waits, expensive repair, and traffic that day. I hope nissan notices this common issue on the car and recalls the all potential cars for the same issue. Hopefully i can get my money back with the recall.
