Description of the problem	1. I drove to church on a sunday morning and parked the car. When leaving church, the car showed a yellow key light and would not start. I had the car towed to love nissan dealership in st. Albans, wv the following day. I was told by the dealership service repair person that they found an internal failure/malfunction of the steering lock control unit. The invoice says ....... B26e9 lock malfunction, found internal failure of steering lock control. This repair, i was told, was not covered under the warranty i had and cost me $767. 72. Why was this repair/breakdown not covered in full or part by a warranty or by nissan? 2. In mach 2013 in a second mishap, i had to call roadside assistance. This same vehicle locked (without me doing it) with the remote key laying in the center cup holder. Nothing was in the cup holder other than the remote key and a small piece of paper. The car had to be unlocked by the towing company as i was outside a store in charleston, wv. Could there be a faulty wiring/electrical problem with this car?
