His steering lock unit needs to be replaced. Hope he's still under warranty...

Man, this is getting me more and more nervous. May have to just get the darned thing replaced on mine. I have until June until my warranty goes.

I wouldn't dare drive to ZDayZ without having replaced the lock.

Thats been on my mind every since the whole issue began to appear. Will likely just get it replaced for the peace of mind and just give the Nissan North America reps a piece of my mind at ZDayZ.

I'm worried about mine too and I may or may not be covered under warranty. I'm passed the 36k mile factory warranty, but I think it may be covered under my CPO warranty.

He's across the street really, but he's having it towed to Nissan right now, I tried everything, that thing would not start with either key

Its only been an issue for the past few months as this was when it started to happen to people. Now it appears that the 2012s don't even have this part any more which is even more interesting.

Def suspicious.... They probably heard about the problem and fixed it, but didn't inform any other Z owners
