which is the latest version for the steering lock?

I read that the version came out about 2 - 3 years ago was reliable.

The car would light up but it would not fire. I did not have the SES light but I put a code reader on it anyway, but it wasn't throwing any codes.

I purchased a new steering lock (right at $700) and put everything back together. The car fired on the first start, so I pulled the fuse and learned an expensive lesson. Luckily, mine $hit the bed in the garage.

I filed a report with the NHTSA and called Nissan NA. Nissan called me back and while she listened to me, she said Nissan couldn't reimburse customer fixed repairs. She said I should have taken it to a dealer and paid $1,500 and then ask for a good will reimbursement.

So Fsck you Nissan.

My 2011 came with the JF00D version. That is the same version Nissan just sold me as a replacement and is also the replacement in the voluntary recall. So no, they haven't fixed the problem.

So if you haven't bypassed the ESCL, you should do it now.
