Oh, I forgot to mention, on sunday around 2pm, I was on BWI parkway headed to laurel in the s2000, I pulled along side a 370, and gave a wave. I believe it was platinum graphite Z, but it was hard to tell with the salt residue on his car.

ohhh no, damn. that sucks.

b1adesofcha0s · 01-29-2013, 12:37 PM

Damn that does suck

yeah...I was gonna pull the fuse right before my warranty runs out in June, but at least I get a new one for free. Tischer nissan was very nice and easy to deal with.

You probably wont need to pull it anymore - new one didnt have the prob I think.

Gosh, Im so glad I pulled that fuse just a couple weeks ago.

chieuxuan · 01-29-2013, 01:43 PM

another steering lock issue, glad they fix it for you

Masa · 01-29-2013, 01:56 PM

When they replace it with new one, pull the fuse anyway lol.

Haha... Should've done it right in front of them out of spite... Tischer gets rep for having it in stock and getting me back in my Z in under 24 hours.

Masa · 01-29-2013, 03:28 PM

Yeah props to the dealer for covering you with fast turn around but I would pull it anyway. I have a 2011 with the Revision D lock and still pulled my fuse out. Don't want to be stranded anywhere.

Is this apply for automatic or manual transmission?

Transmission doesn't matter. If your car has the steering lock (09' to early 11') then you are at risk of it failing. Even the latest rev. D locks have been reported to fail by some forum members.

slippery4678 · 01-30-2013, 08:56 AM

I'm just gonna pull it, you guys have my scared. Anyone wanna trade a brand new steering wheel lock for some Gen 3's?

I'll better get it check out tomorrow at the Nissan dealership at Manassas.
Thank you for the information!

Tischer is a solid dealership. They replaced my entire clutch & flywheel on my old Z and didn't even hassle me about it*

*distinct possibility the cause of the failure was between the steering wheel and the driver's seat.
