The power start key isnt turning on the car, it allows you to enter the car but the start takes various attempts. The problem seems to be the lock steering feature malfunctions.

I went to another county with my kids to visit my mom and when I tried to leave the car wouldn't start and there was a light in the dashboard that indicated a key in an amber color, I tried giving it a jumpstart to see if that was the problem and changing the battery of the smart key and nothing worked. I ended up having to leave my car parked in the street where my mom lives and spent the night with my mother and the next day I called my nearest Nissan dealer who told me that it was most likely the electronic steering column lock but my car wasn't covered in the recent recall.

My car was in my driveway when I tried to start it. A yellow light with a key appeared in the upper left corner of the dash. The car wouldn't start. We researched the warning light and tried everything suggested such as disconnecting the battery, disconnecting the negative battery, etc. With no luck.

Dashboard, steering wheel, and shift handle have all melted from heat. The dashboard has become almost liquified, and the glare from the now shiny surface creates a reflection on the windshield, creating a safety hazard. The steering wheel has become gummy, making steering unsafe, and the rubbery material on the shift handle has become gummy, making it difficult to safely shift gears accuarately.

Car suddenly would not start - was stranded and had to call to have it flat bedded to a dealership. I was told the steering lock needed to be replaced. Was provided extended warranty for this part since if a defect, I was two weeks overdue and they would not pay for the work to be completed.

This is the 5th time this has happened in the last 4 weeks and each time I have been left stranded. The escl - electronic steering column lock has failed. My car unlocks/locks properly with the key fob, aux electrical works fine, headlights, radio ect.. however the brake will not depress and the steering wheel is locked not allowing me to start my vehicle leaving me stranded. This is bs! I am very upsetnissan should have a recall and replace this part, but instead I was told this will cost me upward of $1,000 to repair. Please help!!!!

I parked my 2008 Nissan Altima 3.5se at my door took groceries inside and went back to park my car, and it would not start I could go thru the different modes of the push button start but the car would not start. I get it towed to Nissan and the tell me my electronic steering column lock has gone bad they also tell me they have a recall on the same part on the 2009 models. Price tag to fix the E.S.C.L $800 this is so unfair I believe the 08 models Altima should be added to the already ineffect recall for the same exact part.
