I thought this was only an 09-10 issue?

All years with the lock installed which I'm pretty sure is 09-11.

The campaign states that they will only repair for 2009-2010 370z and 2009-2011 GTR's. I know that in the steering wheel lock thread that some ppl mentioned that very early 2011 would have issues as well.

soo...in laymans terms. is this a issue they will now repair whether the steering lock is out or not?

sort of like a tsb or recall sort of action?

tower74 · 03-11-2013, 11:20 AM

Hey, as long as they have finally realized it's a problem that needs to be fixed. That's all that matters.

tower74 · 03-11-2013, 11:28 AM

Ugh, just remembered that when I get home I have to pay to get my car licensed. There goes about $2200. I need to move to Texas so I don't have to pay personal property taxes every year on my vehicles. I'm guessing it's gonna go from $600 a year to $900+ for my 2 cars.

TenaciousZ · 03-11-2013, 11:33 AM

the new steering lock is crazy loud compared to the older one.

really hear it zip out when starting the car.

Mostly likely going to pull the fuse soon just in case since the new models dont have one anyway.

sboden · 03-11-2013, 02:18 PM

It is on early 2011 models also but Nissan isn't going to replace those even though they have the same version number which has also failed. The fix by Nissan was to remove it from 12 and 13 models.

They are not really fixing it which is my point. They are replacing it with a part which at some point in the future will fail again. You can say all parts will fail but this one is failing regularly before the warranty period is up, so how long will the replacement last????

edub370 · 03-11-2013, 03:06 PM

so i guess i'll jsut live with my pulled fuse for a lil while (forever) longer
