Description of the problem	Nissan website at https://nissanassist. Wpengine. Com/campaigns/electronic-steering-column-lock-escl-service-campaign/ stated that nissan is conducting a voluntary service campaign on specific my2009-10 nissan altima, altima coupe, altima hybrid, and maxima vehicles to replace the existing electronic steering column lock (escl) with an electronic steering column box (escb). My 2009 altima is having problem with this defective escl that caused the problem of locking up the steering wheel and can't start after parked. The nissan dealers in cerritos and signal hill california will charge me to fix it for more $1220 because my vin is not on a recall list. I told the dealers that it is not a recall as it stated on the nissan website, and is a voluntary service campaign. So far, i couldn't start my car after parked for four times from mid october to this november 2018. The first two times, aaa tow truck drivers had to remove the panel under the steering wheel to get to escl and push a middle piece of metal inside the escl all the way down to the bottom of its box, then they could start the car. Now i have do the same things as aaa tow truck drivers did it. I was so scared two days ago in 7 eleven parking lot at around 11:30 pm, when one person approached me and talking to me, and another open my car's door at front passenger side and took my items that i just bought from walmart and both ran away. Now i am afraid to drive this car, and taking public buses to work in the day time and afraid not to go any where at night time. A defective electronic steering column lock (escl) for years, there have been widespread defects in the electronic steering column lock (escl) that disabled the push-button ignition in a wide range of nissan and infiniti vehicles.
