Description of the problem	The steering lock broke while i was driving straight in a parking lot, forcing the engine to shut off. I have 10 month old twin daughters and this could have resulted in a very serious car accident if the vehicle was on a main road or highway and going at a faster speed. Supposedly this is a well-known issue with 2009 nissan altima's (and other year models as well). Instead of a recall, nissan extended the warranty on this part by one year. I called nissan and they told me that the extended warranty expired in august 2015, so i will have to pay for this out of pocket. The estimated cost is between $1,100 and $1,300. The car doesn't start at all, and apparently only nissan dealers can fix it. This is very worrisome that nissan acknowledged this as a problem, but did not consider the safety of its customers and issue a recall.
