Description of the problem	Dear sir/mam, my 09 altima broke down on christmas eve night in front of a friend's house, blocking friend's cars in garage, and cannot start no matter what. After 6hrs trying and contacting, finally found a towing company can come onsite at that hour on a holiday night, snowy and rainy. The dealership concurred my research that this is caused by a defective part - the electric steering lock failure, on all 2009 altimas. However, nissan extended the warranty on that to 5 years instead of a recall, and they refused to cover any of my loss in this case simply because the extended warranty expired 4 months ago, for a defective part... A lot of victims like me formed a website and more being reported every week as we speak. We are trying to start a class action case against, meanwhile, we are encouraged to tell our stories here too. Best regards,
