Description of the problem	After leaving a doctor's apt on 4 oct, i get to my car and it want start. The intelligent key warning is lit up o the instrument panel and when i hit the push start button, the lock light is illuminated and i cannot push the brake pedal down. The steering column is completely locked. I recalled getting a letter from nissan extending the warranty on the escl fro 6yrs/unlimited mileage. Nevertheless, i had to have my car towed to nissan and as of today they are telling me that the extended warranty has expired. How is that possible when i got the letter a year after i purchased the car. So now i am stuck with paying $900-1200 to get this fixed. Nissan should be ashamed of themselves and should do a recall. I am so disappointed in nissans response and service and i was looking at buying a new car at the end of the year from them. But they will not get my business.
