2010 Z won't start even after steering column recall

kenchan · 05-23-2014, 06:19 PM

if it's the same issue as your first diagnosis, you probably got another faulty lock, or your dealer never changed it out. it can be an intermittent problem on some locks.

you'll need to do the brown wire cut or fuse pull when you get a new working lock. check the diy section.

note: RevD is wat they use on the recall. this revision does not really guarantee that the problem is fixed. it's basically the same damn lock with a minor wtf they did. there are already a few RevD reported failures. it's a german designed american made part, it's hit or miss.

Isn't the steering column issue the fact that the car won't start/crank at all?

Because in my case, the car does try to start but just doesn't turn over.

I filed a complaint with BBB, this is beyond frustrating

You are correct, sir. If the ESCL (SLU) is not working then the car will not try to start.

Then what could be my issue, both dealers and Nissan corp keep repeating the same damn freaking script "If we cant duplicate it then we cant fix anything" even though I showed them the freaking video
