*Voluntary Service Campaign ** Steering Lock Fix**

Man Of Steel

So far I have talked to Naples Nissan and they wont budge. The car will have to remain there for now. I called Nissan Corporate and they told me the Regional Manager will be in touch with me before the end of tomorrow's business day. I called another local Nissan Dealer and talked with the head of the service department and he was much more knowledgable and polite. He informed me that the VIN doesnt fall in the range of vehicles affected by the service bulletin but that doesnt mean that someone higher up cant grant "good will" and have the dealership repair it free of charge. Im already in the hole with towing and diagnostics, theres no way I want to spend $1,300 more. I'd hate to have to threaten an email to the CEO Mr. Ghosm, talk to the local media, and maybe legal action. Come on Nissan...

And about the hitting the module, I tried with my palm as well as the wheel locknut and it remained unresponsive. I would love for it to come out of this state then I would just pull the 10amp fuse. Thatd be easy as pie...

Thanks for the input fellas. Does anyone know of any other way to get it out of lock mode? I would really prefer just getting it fixed then cutting the brown wire so it doesnt happen again. Sad at 68k Miles she was running like a dream and now she wont even turn on and they are holding me hostage for 1300 bucks.

Your questions have been answered already. Click on the "Steering Lock Links" link in my sig.

In a nutshell, if beating on it doesn't work then you have to repair the unit yourself (not for the faint of heart) or replace it (it's not an easy DIY, but not that difficult either).
