Electronic steering lock column has failed on my vehicle. This part is a known issue for 2010 Nissan Altimas burn 2008 has not been even addressed. This failed part . Had left me stranded. The vehicle was stationary when the lock no longer worked. Failed unit had been quoted at $1100 repair cost.
Had the oil changed at dealership. Upon driving back home the car would not start. I received the yellow key light on the dash and could not depress the brake pedal or start the car. I attempted to put in a new battery to the intelligent key and also jumpstart the vehicle. Still would not start. Nothing warns you of this issue and glad that I was not driving the vehicle when this happened or part failed. On the following date the vehicle was towed to the local dealership.

Same day I contacted Nissan consumer affairs to find out there were no recalls nor would they offer any assistance or recall this part as they have on other similar models.
