Oil consumption on the early models. Steering lock issues. The best option is a late 2011 or 2012 if you want the pre-2013 front. If you buy a manual, expect clutch slave cylinder issues if the previous owner did not replace it with an aftermarket one. If it goes out on you expect a $1000 bill to replace with a part that will last. Otherwise, just do your typical used car due diligence.

I thought that was across all MYs. If Nissan fixed it, does anyone know what they did?

That's an easy, no-cost fix - pull the fuse.

Can't really argue with that but I don't think the 2009-2010s are different enough to matter. (Unless you use Nav - from what I've read, it's a PITA to update on early models.) YMMV
