Nissan Altima electrical problems

I HAVE HAD THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN INTO A CORNER THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND LOSES ALL POWER AND ABILITY TO STEER. THE FIRST TWO OCCASIONS OCCURRED WHERE I COULD SIMPLY PLACE THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. THE LAST OCCURRENCE 2/9/17 HAPPENED AS DESCRIBED ABOVE WAS TURNING INTO AN ALLEY GOING LESS THAN 20MPH WHEN CAR JUST SHUT OFF. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART, THE CAR TURNED ON BUT WHEN PUSHING THE GAS THE CAR WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND THE WRECKER TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR ONTO THE TOW TRUCK BUT WAS UNABLE TO GET IT UP THE BED AS IT DIDNT HAVE ANY POWER TO DRIVE UP THE BED. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO CODES THAT WERE IDENTIFIED. THEY STATED IT WAS RUNNING JUST FINE, AND COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZZARD AS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO NOTICE WHEN THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND LOSE POWER STEERING. THIS COULD EASILY BE A HUGE ACCIDENT IF OCCURS ON THE FREEWAY. I WOULD LIKE ANSWERS AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF OTHER NISSAN OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS (ALL REPORTING THAT NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES PROMPTED DURING DIAGNOSING).

WIFE DROVE CAR TO WORK, GOT READY TO LEAVE AND CAR WOULD NOT START. SECURITY LIGHTS ON DASH WAS LIT UP . I CAME HOME FROM WORK TRIED EXTRA KEY FOB AND TRIED NEW CAR BATTERY, STILL WOULD NOT START. HAD CAR TOWED 25 MILES TO DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THE PROBLEM WAS STEERING LOCK ASSEMBLY MODULE, A WELL KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. THIS COST ME 1124.00 DOLLARS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IN A FACTORY RECALL. THE 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA IS NOTORIOUS FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR ONLY HAD 68428 MILES AT TIME OF INCIDENT

I STARTED MY CAR AS USUAL TO RUN SOME ERRANDS. IT STARTED FINE. I STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION AND SHUT OFF THE CAR. IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. IT WAS FREEZING COLD. MY CAR WAS BLOCKING THE GAS PUMP AND IT COULD NOT BE MOVED. I RULED OUT THE KEY FOB BECAUSE IT STILL UNLOCKED THE DOORS. I INSERTED THE KEY FOB IN THE EMERGENCY SOCKET THAT IS SUPPOSED TO START THE CAR IN CASE THE BATTERY IN THE KEY FOB DIES. STILL NOTHING. I HAD MY BROTHER BRING ME A NEW BATTERY FOR THE KEY FOB. STILL NOTHING. HE TOOK ME HOME. I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR THERE. AFTER SOME INTERNET RESEARCH, MANY MANY OTHERS WITH NISSANS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THE CULPRIT IS THE ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCK MODULE. IT LOCKS THE STEERING WHEEL AND YOU CANNOT START THE CAR WHEN IT IS LOCKED. I WENT BACK TO THE CAR TORE THE PANEL APART AND LOCATED THE STEERING LOCK. THE RESEARCH I DID SAID THAT SOMETIMES YOU COULD GET IT TO RELEASE THE LOCK PIN IF YOU TAP ON IT WITH HAMMER. SO I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE WHILE HOLDING IN THE START BUTTON AND TAPPING ON THE STEERING LOCK MODULE. AFTER 20 MINUTES OF BANGING ON THE MODULE IT DISENGAGED ENOUGH TO START THE CAR. I DROVE IT HOME AND SHUT IT OFF. IT WON'T START AGAIN. NISSAN SAYS THE WARRANTY RAN OUT JAN. 1ST, 2016. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $679.51 JUST FOR THE PART NOT INCLUDING LABOR. THAT IS RIDICULOUS! WHAT IF I WERE SOMEWHERE REMOTE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START? I COULD HAVE FROZE TO DEATH. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AS IT SEEMS TO HAVE HAPPENED TO 1000S OF PEOPLE.

THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED. I HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION ONCE....IT STILL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AND SHIFTS SO HARD MY PASSENGERS THINK I'M SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. AND NOW THE STEERING LOCK MODULE HAS FAILED. AFTER READING 100S OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE, I AM APPALLED TO FIND THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN NOR WILL ANYONE THAT KNOWS ME AS THEY'VE WITNESSED ALL ISSUES OCCUR WITH ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY ON NISSAN'S ACCOUNT.

OUT OF NOWHERE, I PARKED MY CAR AND WHEN I WENT TO START IT, THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND THE KEY LIGHT WAS ON. I THOUGHT MY KEY BATTERY DIED AND AFTER TRYING DIFFERENT KEYS, ETC, DETERMINED THERE WAS ANOTHER ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT IT IS A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING LOCK. AFTER TAPPING THE UNIT BELOW THE STEERING WHEEL, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO LOCK AND START THE CAR. THEN, 2 DAYS LATER, IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO TAP IT TO GET IT TO WORK AGAIN BUT THIS COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME IN ANY PLACE LEAVING YOU STRANDED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCK ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,122....UPDATED 05/19/17 *BF *CN

AS I WAS LEAVING WORK ON FRIDAY NIGHT AT ABOUT 11:35PM WHEN I GOT TO MY CAR, I FOUND MYSELF STUCK IN A PARKING LOT TRYING TO TURN ON MY IGNITION. THE CAR DIDN'T GIVE ME NO WARNING AS THE DASHBOARD GAVE ME A SYMBOL OF THE WORD "KEY" DISPLAY WITH A KEY BELOW IT. I WOULD PUSH THE BRAKE AND THE START BUTTON AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MAKE A SOUND. I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO MY HOUSE IN ORDER TO REMOVE IT FROM THE PARKING LOT. AS I WAS GOING THROUGH THE MANUAL I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS THE STEERING IGNITION LOCK THAT WAS CAUSING THIS ISSUE WITH THE IGNITION. I'M A 24 YEAR OLD PREGNANT WOMAN AND THIS IS REALLY UNSAFE. I WAS READING ONLINE AND IT SAID THAT NISSAN GAVE A 6 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE BUT I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM THE DEALER WHILE I WAS PAYING IT OFF AND NOW THAT THE ISSUE HAS POPPED OUT BEING 2017 THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED IN 2015 AND IT WILL COST ME $1,200 TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR
