| Description of the problem | Steering lock that engages the engine malfunctioned when i tried to start the car. The car would not recognize the intelligent key, after watching a utube video i wiggled around the steering wheel not gently and the intelligent key was then recognized and i was able to start the car. Now while driving the warning light for the intelligent key stays on. This seems to be an issue with nissan altimas 2007-2009 is there a recall on this? |
