2010 Roadster 7AT touring. Mine just failed at 35500 miles. I was out of town visiting friends and got stuck an extra day. Luckily I had 500 miles left on my warranty.

How long do I have?
Yesterday I went to start my '09 with 22k and got the dreaded...NO START for the first time. After getting out of the car and getting back in, I tried it again and it started. Question, how long before I won't be able to start it at all, i.e can it wait until my next oil change in about a month or so to get it fixed or should I bring it in asap? Also...is the part covered under warranty? Thanks!

My 09 is a little higher mileage (because I drive it everyday) so I just had to be happy with the pulled fuse trick. |

As sboden points out, you're chances of SLU failure are pretty high, so do one of the fixes ASAP.

Steering wheel lock just failed at 36,000 on the dot in a grocery store parking lot.
Got a rental car, drove home, called the dealership. Told me $280 for the cutaway bolts and $730 for the steering wheel lock. Read some threads on here, grabbed a hammer, went back to the grocery. Smacked the part with the hammer a few times and it unlocked (note: kicking it didn't work, and I had to give it a pretty good smack with the hammer). Popped the hood, pulled the plastic **** off, yanked the fuse box and pulled the fuse. Put everything back together, shut it off, started back up just fine (whirrr of the lock working notably absent). Taking the rental car back tomorrow annoyed but without the expensive tow and repair thanks the forum. Last edited by yakz; 12-26-2012 at 04:15 PM. |

Note that there are two fuse boxes next to the battery. The steering wheel lock fuse is in the larger one that is more difficult to get to, you have to pull it up to get the cover off and get to the fuses. I had to remove the battery cover, the plastic around the battery cover, and the plastic near the windshield. They just have some little snap-ins to hold them on, so not really that difficult. The fuse itself just pulls straight out.

The important bit is pull. the. fuse. I kicked the **** out of it and nothing. I gave it some love taps with the hammer and nothing. I felt so lucky when I gave it a good smack and it disengaged, and knew to yank that fuse. That piece of **** will cost you $1000 if it won't disengage. I won't be trading for another Nissan. The part is a defective design and expensive to replace and they won't give an inch.
