My 2008 Altima was just diagnosed with same problem, steering lock mechanism. Including the diagnostic test they ran, the total cost for repair will be $1100.00. I just filed a complaint with Safercar.gov at 1.888.327.4236. If enough people report this problem a recall would be possible. Even if you have already paid for this repair, you could possibly be reimbursed if a recall occurs. Please make the call! From what I've seen on this site and YouTube, this is a common problem.
