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.

problem #1

Altima 2.5 S 4 Cyc

  • Automatic transmission
  • 103,000 miles

During acceleration between 20 and 45 MPH, the front passenger wheel bounces. Not good, especially on wet streets. I'm afraid it's going to cause a wreck. In the process of looking to take it to get it fixed but does anyone know of a recall for this problem?
