Car stuck on "lock"
 

I went to cars and coffee this morning, had some dope coffee, checked out some dope whips, but upon leaving, I hopped up into my car and I went to go start it up, and my car is stuck on the "lock" position, doesn't go into acc or on mode? I had to get it towed back to my house.

I researched a little about it, couldn't find a clear answer sadly. I know it's something with that lock non sense, but any sure fixes? Or do I have to replace that one part? Nissan quoted me $1100 and it's on back order, **** that yo :(

I tried

• Beating the **** out of it
• Unplugging battery
• Pulling fuse

My car is still stuck in lock position, inform me on how ****** I am, thanks.

Edit: my wheel spins and everything just won't start.

:owned:

There's a recall. They pay for it and should pay for the tow

They asked for my VIN and when I gave it to them and they said my car didn't have the recall... I called 2 Nissan dealerships..

Edit: do all 09-10 models have this recall? or is it only a select amount?

The problem was "fixed" on the later '10 models. Mine was built in June and was not a part of the recall.

i had a similar issue. mines was built in 11. I called a local known dealer to address the issue and they turned me away because my VIN didn't match any recalls.

My steering lock module crapped out. What I ended up doing was finding the module underneath the steering column and giving it a few wacks with a rubber mallet while repeatedly pressing the ignition button. what this does is it helps loosen the gears that fail inside the module. Only issue with that, is that it will fail again. So my recommendation is to force it to "unlock" then proceed with pulling the fuse.

how would I go about this?
