Steering Is Tight Problems of Nissan Altima

When I was about to go to work and try to turn the car, the car didn't want to turn on, the car locked the steering wheel, I have the key present and it's telling me it's locked, the steering wheel is really hard (locked) and the break got really hard to press down. I was doing some research and it's telling me it's the escl (defective electronic steering column lock).

Tl- the contact owns a 2009 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that after utilizing the vehicle and turning it off and coming back to the vehicle to utilize it again ,the vehicle failed to start and the steering wheel was extremely hard to move. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the steering wheel lock had failed and would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 133,000. Wh.

On the above date, my vehicle was involved in an accident which after thorough assessment by the body shop and by the insurance company's field adjusters, was deemed a total loss. My vehicle's steering suddenly became very difficult due to the front wheels becoming seemingly locked and steering in the right direction was impossible. Steering wheel was extremely hard to turn as well. The airbags did not deploy either. Everything happened so fast. There was a loss of control which caused the vehicle to overturn or "flip". The vehicle was still upside down when passersby and law official arrived. This accident could have been avoided if we'd received prior notification. We know there were recalls for this year,make and model vehicle and those similar, however we were never notified by anyone of said recalls. This accident could have been fatal, that's how bad it was. By the grace of god it wasn't.

The power steering on my 2015 Altima is very hard to turn. The mechanic replaced the power steering pump twice and replaced the fluid and the steering wheel is still very hard to turn. The power steering indicator light is now on and I still can't turn the steering wheel. This is a very unsafe condition that Nissan should recall and repair. This car has 5200 miles on it and this is totally unacceptable. The car also has a very high pitched whine noise that is very annoying. We previously owned Toyota camrys and I'd Nissan don't take care if this problem I will not refer them to anybody and go back to Toyota.

When I turn a corner the steering is sticking. Feels like it is locking up then go loose. The power fluid is full that is not the problem.
