UPDATE: I just heard from nissan this morning. I pleeded my case to them stating that I was unaware that this part is ONLY covered under the bumper to bumper warrenty. As my car has already passed the 36,000 mile warrenty coverage, it will cost me $1135,29 to get my car back!!! That is with a discount too.

Steering lock module: $850
Labor: $300
Re-programming: $400
towing: $185

REMOVE YOUR FUSE BEFORE YOU END UP WITH THE SAME BILL!!!!

there is programming?

Yes from rev2 to rev4 there needs to be programming? Also I accidentally rolled my windows down from the key fob when the steering lock went out. I could not put the windows back up do to the fact that the ignition didnt move from off. So they had to program the window timimg also.:owned:

:iagree:

I had an 09 and I cut the wire on my 12 I removed the fuse, I do not know if the lock issue is still there for the 12 model so I just pulled it.
I would call Nissan USA and see if they could do something that is a lot of cash flow to pay for something that happens a lot.

really? that's very odd.

you can reset the windows (after steering lock replaced) by just rolling it down all the way, hold the switch for 5 sec, then roll it up all the way and hold the switch for 5sec.

reprogramming is a rip off. someone there is padding their pockets...

Yep. Like $90 bucks to reprogram TPMS. I mentioned it to one of the techs that worked on my car because the service writer failed to mention it. The tech said, "I'll take care of you". Took him a grand total of 5 minutes or less. (didn't charge it. ) :happydance:

I feel like I got ripped off, its a brand new car to me so I really didnt want to take any chances. I guess in the future, as I read more DIY threads I will try these myself before taking it to the dealer.

Thanx guys for all the positive ideas, and letting me know I got owned lol:nutswinger:

mine also has done this in the garage now
is it somthing that can be fixed permanat????
