The warranty for the replaced part is for a year, so I want to leave it there in case the lock fails again, then after the year I can pull it.

Also the replace steering lock is the D version, I believe that's the one that should have no problems.

Also I'm scare

Nooooooooooo! Lol maybe, maybe not. I don't see why it's a big deal I want to wait until the warranty for the steering lock expires.

not fixed at all. brown wire cut is by fritz and it's easier to do than pulling the steering lock fuse.

The power is fine, and it sounds so good with a good exhaust. I just hate the feeling of power fading as things heat up.

With the recent fix (new brake switch) I'm not complaining about low end power anymore even when I'm not even boosting. I can finally get the car moving at will without the lag under 2k.

I haven't complained about it lately. This thread wasn't even about that, you guys brought it up. This was supposed to be a good thread, not a steering lock thread.

dude... once you pulled the fuse, the fuse won't lock thus the problem is fixed for good...


And I sure the lock won't go defective within 12 month but the 13th...

And you have to wait for another 2-3 weeks for the parts and pay another $1000 and rant in here...

Wait for a recall...?? It's been a problem since 2009 and there's no recall plus Nissan stop using the Lock from mid-2011 therefore the chance of having a recall is -100%

not being rude but if your Steering Lock goes fail again don't post anything in here to complain cos you've been told a solution but you chose to ignore it...

Just enjoy the car, that's why we all bought it, definitely not for it's practicality.
