Unfortunately, however, this also means we can no longer be friends as I think it's extremely unfair that my local dealer (not the place where I bought the car) is the edifical (not a real word beeteedubs) embodiment of Judas Iscariot mixed with Kesha - and I'm pretty sure when my steering lock goes, they'll probably just tape a bag of tootsie rolls onto my steering wheel, claim that it's fixed, and charge me my first born for the so-called repair.

name names... whered you buy and whos the local stealership?

I would go look under your steering column and just double check and make sure you got latest version steering lock (RevC or RevD)

I have already been through this. When my under-warranty 370Z was towed into Reed Nissan, probably the worst dealership I have ever dealt with, they told me it would take a week to look at it because I had no appointment.

That's right, car behind me on a flatbed and they get irritated because I didn't schedule the complete failure of the car.

I went home, called Nissans consumer affairs. They acted appalled and I believe they were, a regional manager contacted Reed Nissan and the car was looked at immediately. Took two days to get the part though.

I had hoped to keep this car for a while, but can't imagine the nightmare of dealing with this intelligent key garbage for 10-12 years. Killing and re-cranking your car miles from home, like at a gas station or rest stop, shouldn't make your stomach turn with dread. I'd pay $1000 or more for a product that bypasses all of this crap and allows me to crank my car with a normal key. Anything that would get rid of this worthless "intelligent" system for good.

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

Kenchan spells it out pretty clearly in his DIY linked above.
