She's Dead, Jim

Waaaaaaaasabi- we're just trying to understand the situation. Over oilling is likely on the earlier recall but I don't think nissan's supplier completely understands the problems.

I noted this in the diy already.

Scotty in Star Trek III stated that "The more you overtake the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain". It could very well be that it is simply a bad design with too many moving parts/interfaces. Why else would Nissan simply eliminate the lock entirely in the 2012 models?

Ken, I wasn't necessarily trying to insinuate that the issue was purely isolated to an electrical or oil symptom, and I know that you were not postulating that either - sorry if I came across as such. I have your DIY open in another tab (amongst a hundred other ones), but haven't been able to thoroughly peruse it. I've only scrolled through to see the pics and get a general idea of how to replace the defective unit, but I'll read through it more carefully tonight. Also, you can just call me 'sabi'

Onzedge, Nissan's decision to completely eliminate the part in the 2012 model (is that verified?) is more insult to the injury - it means that they're likely aware of the issue...

Mr. Sabi, It is not verified and I intend to ask around a bit this week. The service manager who told me this is a very straight shooter with many years experience and I have know him for a long time. So far, I am taking him at his word.

Wow, seems like a lot of people are experiencing problems with the wheel lock assembly. Mine actually went two weeks ago and I have been told that the part is on back order until 2 Feb. They have me driving an Altima Hybrid right now
