Steering lock?
 

This morning car dove fine. Got to office then we to turn on the car to leave for lunch and car wont start. the car reads the key and I can unlock and lock the car. But I can move my steering wheel without it locking. Any ideas? 2009 nismo

The steering lock in earlier 370's was a known problem that has been covered at great length in other threads on here. Do a search and you should find everything you could possibly want to know.

There was a recall on it also.

It's on a sticky post in this section...

My only question is this happens only when the steering wheel locks??? Because my steering wheel can still move, and clutch and brake feel fine.

'Steering wheel lock' is kind of a misnomer, what really happens is that the ignition locks and the car won't start. There is a sticky about the steering lock, read that first. :icon14:

If that doesn't answer your questions or provide solutions, Google is your friend. :tiphat:


The other 'possibility' is a bad battery, batteries fail at the drop of a hat. If yours is over 2 years old, get a new one, preferably an Optima or AGM. :tup:


If all that fails, pm me and I'll send you my address so you can ship your car to me. Please include the title and keys. I'll be happy to take it off your hands. :rofl2: :rofl2:

Haha thanks for the tips I'll check the battery

Called Nissan Corp. and steering lock recall is still open. Hoping once they change the unit car fires up.

It was the steering lock problem. Dealer called car is fixed and ready to go

Now, when you got home, have that disabled so it will not repeat.
