Description of the problem	Steering wheel lock the specialist said that she was unable to help me out with the repair that i am needing done for the second time since the recall is expired. The point i am trying to get across to nissan in tennessee is that the part they put in my car in november of 2011 was more than likely a recall or a defective part since it went out again for the second time and i only have 71,000 miles on the car. Even the dealership where my car is waiting to get repaired said that it is very rare that this part to go out twice. With the dealership saying that makes me come to the conclusion that the steering wheel lock that was put in my car was a recall/defective part since it went out again and i was never notified that there was a extended recall for the steering wheel lock or i would have taken my car in and had it checked out. Now this repair is going to cost me $1344. 80 and i think that is ridiculous!!! I am seeing on www. Carcomplaints. Com of other 2009 nissan altima owners are having the same problems with their vehicles as well. Other owners are getting help to repair their vehicles for this part and other owners like myself are not getting help. I am glad that nissan in tennessee reimbursed me for the repair in november of 2011 but i need something resolved for the repair that needs to be done now!! I don't want to have to trade in my car since it is paid off and only has 71,000 miles but i also do not need this car leaving me stranded somewhere with my 5 year old son either for the third time especially at night time anywhere!! I am retired from the post office and only receives a check once a month and i am a single mother. So yes this kind of repair is way too expensive for me to afford! Please help me with this issue asap, i dont want to be left stranded again with my son!!

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.
