So the dealer called and it is the steering lock that failed. The part is on 3 week plus backorder so they are going to pull one from a 2012 they have on the lot and use it to fix mine. I am picking it up tonight. I tell you what -- these guys are awesome and they will definitely be on my Christmas card list for 2012!!!

Thank you again everyone for all the support. You are my best friends and we have not even met yet.

I am getting the rev numbers from the old and new part for those of you interested.

Have a great day!!!!

Good to hear that you'll have the car back today. That's pretty nice that the dealer is going to pull the part from one of the Zs on their lot.

Nice to hear! Ive had a dealer here in Germany do that for my Abarth and get me back on the road. Nice service indeed.

My 2010 Z is a July build date. Im hoping Im not in the window for the problem with my build date.

Here to some good driving for you this weekend.

Bad news. Apparently the 2012 models do not have a steering lock any more so there is no way to swap out the mechanism. Figures. So, the dealer jerry-rigged a module from an Altima so the car is driveable at least and I can bring it home to wait for the part. February 10 is the estimated delivery of the part. Nice.

Interesting that the 2012s don't have the lock. At least they have a temporary fix for you. It would suck to have the Z out of commission for a few weeks because of this.
