Description of the problem	Takata recall. Last evening i went to the closest store, which happens to be 12 miles from home. I did as many do when getting to a store. Turned off my 2009 nissan altima and locked it as i was walking away from the store. I had left my car off roughly 15 minutes. When i got in the car there were no flashing lights or indication something was wrong. I applied my foot to pedal and pushed the ignition, but nothing happened. I thought the fob possibly needed a new battery, but this wasn't the case. After replacing the fob battery and trying to insert the fob in dash nothing happened. The car left me stranded in cold temperatures after hours of course. With this problem the car would not even slip into neutral to be towed without extensive fees. Upon having the 2009 nissan altima diagnosed the "steering lock module" is not working and causing this to put the car out of commission. The fees of towing, parts, and labor are a little over $1,100.
