CarComplaints.com Notes: You don't want to get 2009 and 2010 Altima owners started about their cars. That is, unless, you know how to start their cars.
These vehicles can suddenly become impossible to start thanks to a faulty electronic steering column lock (ESCL). Nissan dealers will gladly replace it, but that will run you $1000.
More info & videos about the Nissan ESCL defect are available over at NissanProblems.com.
It's one of the many reasons this car was named CarTalk's Turd of the Week and given our Beware of this Clunker badge. Two dubious honors.

car wont recognize key fob or says battery low
For the past 6 months or so my car often either doesn't recognize my key fob or says the battery is low. it does this with both key fobs and i have replaced the battery a few times in each fob. Sometimes it takes several attempts to gain entry in to my car and has even allowed me to lock my fob in the car.
