DIY: Replace dreaded steering-lock on 2009s and early 2010s.

JohnsZ · 12-27-2012, 12:41 PM

My '09 is currently at a Nissan Dealer to have this repaired. Did not start this morning until I played around with the steering column. Drove it right to the garage. This was the 3rd time it happened in the last 2 weeks and I don't want to take any chances of it happening again and leaving me stranded. This was going to be a very expensive fix, almost $1,500 but they told me it will be covered under the warranty so there is no cost to me! Thank goodness!

The good news is its covered under warranty
The bad news is you still have the same problem with the new SL
You should have pulled that fuse along time ago,and if you did you would have your car now.
