Description of the problem	My 2009 nissan altima would not start on sunday so i had to get it towed. I soon learned from a nissan mechanic that the [electronic steering lock] is malfunctioned, which meant my car would not recognize my smart key, even when inserting it into it's respective slot (plan b). How is the nhtsa letting consumers drive a car that won't start at any moment and even plan b that the manufacture installed doesn't even work? I could have been stranded in the middle of nowhere which is a huge safety concern. Worse, i could have been driving and then loose control of the vehicle. Above that, i was told that nissan did not need to proactively let their customers know about the issue because it fell under a 'warranty issue'. I don't get it. I didn't cause this issue, nor does it fall under the normal circumstances of typical wear, tear, or replacement like battery, tires, etc. How is it fair to make me, nissan's consumer, pay $1000+ dollars for something i did not cause? For a malfunctioned piece that was installed on my nissan altima that was ultimately put in a warranty? With having a warranty, nissan has admitted their equipment was sold malfunctioned, so how is there not a recall about it? To put the cherry on top of the cake, the rep (which i asked for permission to post), said that "vehicles are man made - they aren't made perfect". So meaning, their own reps are acknowledging they don't have high-quality products.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
