Anything else I'm missing?
I just got mine so no issues yet but I'll keep my eyes open.

The oil consumption issue is a 50/50, 2009's were more prone to it, the oil temps will always be high on our engines due to the VVEL.
Steering lock AND hatch release are '09, and early '10 problems (if it still scares you, pull the fuse)
Fuel starvation is still a problem because they have not redesigned the gas tank unless you bought the RC (race car,) but its only going to happen on a long sweeping right turn at high speeds with less than half a tank of gas (if you're worried, fill up before you race, lol)
Unreliable fuel gauge is a common NISSAN/Infiniti problem, they cannot make, or hire a company to make a fuel sending unit worth a damn. It's a very common issue for all cars they make dating from the first G35 (all my G35 friends have problems with theirs) Several instrument clusters, including mine, have been swapped out because the LEDs actually burned out too.
CSC failures... Sorry, Nissan can't make a manual, or almost any tranny worth a damn either... The number one issue with manuals is the CSC, still not a resolved issue, and you should PRAY you're under warranty when it goes out... The dealer replacement cost is over $1500 (other people are more than welcome if I under/overestimated the cost) but I know they have to drop the tranny to do it
