Well has anyone tried this approach: Go into the dealer and tell them that the car has failed to start a couple of times. Tell the service writer you didn't hear the telltale "bzzt" that the lock mechanism usually makes. The them that you have wiggled the steering wheel and column up and down a couple of times and that seemed to jog it loose and the care then started. Then tell them that there are many, many reports of the locks failing and that you want them to replace the lock asap. This is assuming that you are still under warranty. They would not be able to duplicate the problem but if you raised hell, I'll bet they would replace it. If enough of us do that, Nissan might issue a TSB.
What do you guys think of that strategy ? I'm sure going to be pissed if mine fails. It's an 09 with about 23K miles.
