Hi,
I'm really hoping that you can help me out here big time. I have had the steering lock issue which I temp fixed by tapping it. I decided to change my car for a newer one due to the warrantee expiring in Nov 12 as I have been worried about it happening again. I just can't believe my luck as I'm supposed to be going to the garage tomorrow to drop the 370z off as a PX to collect my new car. Gone to turn the car on this morning and it is dead! The tapping hasn't worked this time and I'm completely gutted as I won't be collecting my new car tomorrow unless I get it going. If I can get it going, ill remove the steering lock fuse (only just read about that trick!!!!) I am based in the UK with a late 2009 370z Reg: L2 PPJ

Dreaded Steering lock

Hi from the other side of the pond

I have a 09 plate stuck at a Nissan main dealer and they want approx $1200 just for the lock.

I have read how to make it safe when it works, but could you mail me how to dismantle etc. My plan is to tell Nissan to remove the lock then tow it home and sort it

Thanks

Jim

good job finding the steering lock kill brown wire! great work. hope you keep up the great work and share with us on future finds.

Finally, that was one of the reasons I didn't pick up a Z last year.

I just received a call from Nissan USA informing me that a recall was issued Friday March 8th for the Steering Lock :happydance: which has plagued so many faithful Z owners. I had been burning up...

What's the point of putting the fuse back in to take it to the dealer, have them mess around with it, then pull the fuse back out. Aren't you in the same exact spot you were before, only difference...

I would like to applaud the efforts of those who have been hammering Nissan about this. I feel certain I speak for many others when I says "Thanks, y'all!". :tiphat: I'm glad to see this got...

Just called Nissan, as soon as I fax them my receipt I should be getting a check 😃

Good point, I'm going on vacations in 2 weeks..... Ima ride it out hopefully by the time I get back ill have a check from Nissan-Azzholes! Good to hear Nissan is FINALLY doing something, but it...

FINALLY!!! MY SLU just failed the other day and I was calling to NIssan to make complaint when they informed me just 5 minutes ago that there is a recall for the dreaded SLU!!!! I can confirmed...

Nissan told me a few weeks ago if it was recalled I would get a full refund for what I paid for the new slu

Can I have my money back?

Agreed. I'm glad they are finally doing what is right, but I won't forget how I was treated when my slu failed

It's a little insulting at this point. WAY too late.

Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Service Campaign on certain Model Year 2009-10 GT-R and 370Z vehicles to replace the Electronic Steering Column Lock (ESCL) unit. P3208 Campaign Announcement ...

I wonder how this will work for vehicles imported from the U.S. Good to see them do something about it finally.

Cutting that wire will void the warranty? I still have about 6 months of warranty left. How would the dealership ever find out unless they purposely look underneath the steering lock and undo the...

I agree...this is obviously a huge issue and it pisses me off that Nissan is getting off scott-free with it and in the mean time making money off of the cumsumer when we we are caught with our pants...
