****, DE, I didn't even see this!

However, I was FULLY reimbursed all $1,085! I nearly **** myself. I trashed Nissan on Twitter and got their attention from @NissanSupport and they pushed my "thoughts" onto Consumer Affairs. Safe to say it worked, at least a little.

Crap I wish I read this thread before.

This just happened to my 2010 Nissan 370z Roadster yesterday.

Pulled the car in the driveway - went back inside the house for 15 min ... came back out to start my car and it wouldnt start. Saw the intelligent light key come on my dashboard - not knowing what it was I went and got my spare key and tried to start but with no luck.

Right now it is as the Nissan Dealership - had to get it towed there.... they said it will cost $1350 after taxes to fix

Honestly should this not be a manufacturer defect if we are ALL having the exact same issue??? I mean whats to say this wont happen again and again???

There is a good chance it will happen again. I would suggest reading the DIY for the steering lock "fixes" and choose one to do immediately after you get the repaired car back.

Choices are,
  1. Buy an adapter harness which cuts the brown wire at the steering lock. (Plug and play)
  2. Cut the brown wire at the steering lock
  3. Pull the steering lock fuse at the IPDM

There is no wrong choice, just make sure you do one.

Myself, I chose the wire harness option.
