Just remember, even if you do get the warranty, and your steering-lock fails, you're still going to have to deal with the hassle of having it towed to the dealer, and then having to wait for the part to come in.

Very true

I'm sure buying the part and installing it yourself will be much cheaper than the extended warranty. Especially if the extended warranty has a deductible.

:iagree:

Not sure on the deductible, but the nissan extended warranty is $1,7xx.

flashburn 03-22-2012 05:19 PM

Not worth it. Never buy ANY extended warranties, and in the end you'll make out ahead.

Of course the light is still on. In the owners manual it states, if the light is on, take the car to the dealership immediately for repair. It doesn't say drive the car home, change the batteries and watch the light turn off. They must be thinking of the other key light. Damn service advisors.

Any updates Ron?

The light for the key lock is on the lower left side of the fuel gauge pod. It should turn on (lights up yellow) when you start your car for ~2 seconds then turn off. It has the letters "KEY" above a key symbol. Page 2-8 of the owners manual. On page 2-10 there three paragraphs stating what to expect when that light is on.
