| Description of the problem | my 2010 nissan altima is not able to start due to the push button ignition. It is having the same issue as the 2009 nissan maxima's and altima are having, which is the electronic steering column lock (escl). Nissan has issued a warranty extension for this issue for the 2009 model but not for the 2010 and other altima models that are having the same issue. I believe that nissan should extend it coverage to this vital part due to the cost being over $700 to replace and the fact that without this part, the car cannot function at all. |
