2009 Nissan Altima
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Nissan dealer.
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.

My car was locked out for 6 months due to anti theft device malfunctioning. While Nissan said it would be thousands to fix my computer, my guy eventually found a way to just remove the fuse so the car thinks its always off. So that happened and my floor below driver side feet is soaking wet when it rains. There are wet stains on my interior and my floorboard under driver side has a hole in it, which I assume will soon turn to rusted hole in floorboard. Finally my service engine soon light came on and error code P1778 is the issue. Car stalls before going into gear. I'm terrified I will need a new transmission. Seems completely unfair
