Class action lawsuit is not a bad idea. My friend was saying his 135i, because those cars have so many problems, they did a class action lawsuit and so BMW had to extend warranty on the turbos and fuel pumps to 100K miles. If Nissan doesn't do a recall, it wouldn't be a bad idea if we go this route too...

Don't think a recall or small class action would be valid or even justifiable. I went to Search for a Complaint | Safercar.gov | NHTSA

and took at number of complaints for 2009 / 2010/ 2011 370z for this particular steering lock issue and there are only '3' complaints.

From what I have read, large number of complaints to NHTSA could initiate some action, but not w/ only 3 complaints formally issued.

I got a call this morning from my Nissan dealer telling me the part has arrived. I am waiting until Monday to take her in for the repair because Mondays are when the paintless dent guy is in and I am getting that annoying little dimple in my roof removed at the same time.

They also confirmed that the mechanism is Rev D.

They are one week ahead of schedule also.
