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.

Gas gauge is reading empty when tank is full. Took it to a mechanic and he said it was the sending unit and replaced it. 2 weeks later the same thing happened so I went back and he said he is calling the Nissan dealer because he now believes there was an upgrade on the sending units. This is such bulls***.
