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.
The front passenger side is very low to the ground. It's impossible to go over speed bumps, and when turning to the right there is a clicking metal sound. You also feel it in the steering wheel.
I am reading in numerous places there is a recall on this vehicle for that exact problem but Nissan is telling me it doesn't include my Vin number. Seems very fishy to me
