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.
I have to keep checking to see if the trunk is open. It opens by itself in my driveway and other places. Also the windows open by themselves. This is ridiculous! What kind of security do I have with this car. Thank goodness
I haven't had anything valuable in the trunk. I hate this no key remote system the Altima has.
