She's Dead, Jim

I want to know if the car will start with the lock removed? Or if the ECU can flashed to remove the code that allows the car not to crank

I want to know if the car will start with the lock removed? Or if the ECU can flashed to remove the code that allows the car not to crank after it's removed? If thats how it works . I'd like to see this come off my car now if it can.

i am 99% sure it will not start without the steering lock as the BCM needs to receive an 'all clear' and constant signal from the steering lock during initial self-diagnosis before start.

Read this on FB, sorry to hear Mr. onzedge. Glad you now have the Z back home while the part arrives to the dealership. I have subscribed to Kenchan's DIY thread and will need to check mine and the bros Z since both are 09's with early mfg dates. Better it happen while your car is still in warranty than having to shell out $500 + later. Both Z's are coming up with the warranties running out (3 yr/36k), already looking into extended warranties taking them to 75k mi. Sounds like the wise route to go, not to mention if it happens to me then that one part covers 1/3 of the extended warranty price.

If Courtesy Nissan has the part in stock, can't your dealership have it transferred to them? I am going to ask my dealership to stock one in the event this happens to either one of our Z's.

The dealer checked everywhere, even Courtesy Nissan and no luck. I don't really mind waiting all that much, especially considering she is home as of this morning. The Versa they loaned me is a screamer.

To make a long-story short, I had the steering lock problem (December 16, 2011) and the part was back-ordered for over 4 weeks. What a nightmare!

A Recall isn't going to do much good if the replacement parts are completely unavailable...unless they develop a procedure to remove the part entirely, since the 2012 apparently doesn't have them anymore.

Since Nissan isn't being receptive to e-mails about the issue, I propose that we start moving to media outlets to raise awareness - the fact that this issue could possibly mean being stranded in the middle of nowhere and it cuts across three separate Nissan models (the Z, the GTR, and the Maxima) definitely warrants a voluntary service at the very least, especially since this isn't a "wear and tear" item by any means.

Good idea. It also impacts the Altima.

I got a letter from Nissan saying that my car "may be subject to a Nissan service recall campaign." I wonder if this is what they will be checking for me. I better bring it in soon because I don't want this to happen to me! It's bad enough that I got a stuck clutch twice in two years!
