Hope this isn't a stupid question. I am often parallel parked on the street when I visit my girlfriend. If I had this issue, how could I get my car towed? Mine is a stick so I could put it in neutral, but if the steering is locked how can you get it out of the parking spot? I've seen people towed when parked illegally and they just kind of drag the car out into the street. Hate to think of that happening to my car. Besides, it is so low I don't think they could get the lift under it.

Yes I have seen them drag cars out, it seems to be the standard procedure for parking violations, they don't care because you parked in the wrong spot and it's the owners fault.
However I have had my car moved in a parking lot at work because they needed to do some emergency repairs and my car was in the way. I was totally weired out because the car wasn't were I left it and I asked how the heck did they move it when it was in gear and had the parking brake engaged (it was a fwd car). They showed me the rollers they have to move peoples cars if they need to. They just lift up the car up a few inches place rollers under the wheels and slowly move it. |

Either method is good. Kit was better for me. I didnt feel like mine would fail as the 09's are severely affected by this. Worth the money for peace of mind! |

thanks bro. (UPDATE). I'm sad to inform that the dealer is not helping me out. I disputed that this problem was recalled on the GTR and the number of cases regarding the 09 and 10 370z keep rising, but they just gave me the finger and are asking for 1300 to fix it. I called nissan customer relations and filed a case and today I got a nice phone call also giving me the finger saying I'm on my own. I have no choice but to get it fixed, but I feel like this is some BS. My car is getting fixed and should be done friday. |

P.s they also said they can't understand why nissan still not recall this issues on our z and altima. But they believe a lot of customer already files the case of steering lock. They believe soon or later this will be recall for the z too. That's what I heard from my service adviser at mossy Nissan. (Houston, Texas on I-10/Katy fwy) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Found this forum when researching a similar problem with my car - a 2011 Infiniti G37xS AT with 19,130 miles. Tow truck just dropped her off at the dealer. I pointed them in the direction of the steering lock (thanks, guys). Will report back on what they come up with.
RevzTo9K '11 G '07 Z More details if you're interested: Pulled into my driveway, pushed the button, engine shut off. Yellow KEY light on solid. Doors would not unlock using switches or FOB (I had to manually flip the door lock to get out). NAV display and Bluetooth stayed on. Brake very hard to push. No start, no ACC, no nothing. Exterior trunk release button would not work. Interior trunk release button worked fine. |

I called Fremont Nissan and told them about my other coverage. They said they cannot honor it because of their "policy". I got so angry and cussed them out. I called Dublin Nissan back and they said they can do everything for just the cost of my deductible ($50). I had my car towed there and it took an extra three days for it to be totally fixed. I'm very happy to have only paid $50, but I was almost ready to pay Fremont Nissan $1300 to repair my car.
