Description of the problem	I parked my car when arriving home one night, i noticed the intelligent key light was lit, but didn't think anything of it. I came out to my car the next day to take it to work, i noticed that the light was still lit and tried to start my car, but it wouldn't start. So i replaced the batteries in my intelligent key because the light was on. I tried to start my car, but it still didn't start. I got the car towed to nissan and learned that it was the steering column lock that needed to be replaced for over $800. My car only had 50,000 miles on it at the time, so i did some research and learned that there are many complaints about this part and it should be recalled. I learned that there was an extended warrenty through november 2014, but i didn't drive the vehicle enough to have this problem sooner for it to be covered by the warrenty.
