Description of the problem	2009 nissan altima 2. 5 s won't start and left my 18 year old daughter stranded in cold weather. Appears to be a steering wheel lock failure (part # 48700-9n00b). If this occurred just three days earlier, she would have been stranded in sub-zero weather. She returned to her car after running some errands in a small town we live near and when she got in her car an amber light with a key symbol was present on left side of instrument panel and the right side of the instrument panel had a red flashing (approx. Every 4-5 seconds) light of a car and key symbol. The brake pedal felt as if it was locked, but the brake lights still came on. The steering wheel was not locked and the dashboard didn't illuminate as normal just before starting. The start push button did nothing (wouldn't even crank the engine). This vehicle has less than 60k miles on it and is in immaculate shape. I've read countless articles and postings to forums of others who have experienced the same issue and nissan is fully aware of it. How can a car manufacturer knowingly allow this problem to exist which greatly puts lives at risk. On top of it all the cost to repair this issue ranges anywhere from $800. 00 to $1200 at a dealer.
