Description of the problem	Could not start the car. Luckily i was in someone's driveway and not on the highway. I was on my way to florida from ny and had stopped a number of time along the way. I had the car towed to a nissan dealer where they replaced the steering lock assembly which kept the car from starting. I found out this was an on going problem nissan was aware of. The extended warranty had expired and i was responsible for the total cost. If this had happened in the middle of an unpopulated area it could very well have become a safety issue.
