I've had no problems with my '09, but I'm pulling my steering lock fuse pre-emptively anyway---didn't expect to have to do such a bush league thing on a car of this level. It certainly should be covered by Nissan on our out-of-warranty models through a recall.
but most of the fixes are so simple I'll just take it in stride and drive on.

I've noticed the best cars on earth sure seem to be flat bedded away from the track a lot. Seemingly at least, this is not happening to the 370's.
