She's Dead, Jim
 

So -- the dreaded dead Z strikes!!!!

I got in my car this afternoon to go to a client site and NOTHING happened when I pushed the start button. I strongly suspect the steering lock mechanism is the culprit as it has all of the symptoms other members have elaborated upon. I had a key light glowing bright, mocking me as I cursed the gods and called for a tow.

Hang in there Mr. Onzedge. :hello:

damn man, sorry to hear, hope they get her back up and running asap.

Sorry to see that :(

But At least there's not a guess of whats wrong :ugh2:

I've only racked up about 16k on mine since May of 09 and it only failed to start one time so far. I'll see how long my luck will hold out

This is making me worried and paranoid. I really wish Nissan would do a recall already

Aaaaaaghhhhh!! :eek: I'm starting to freak now!

Sorry to hear of your woes Mr. Onzedge. :(

:(Hope you are back on the road again really soon!!!

Sorry to hear the news Mr. Onzedge.

mr.onzedge- oh craps! :( did you not try tapping at the steering lock per my DIY??

Is it confirmed as a steering wheel lock issue?

triples- can you ask AK to sticky my DIY over at the DIY forum?? ive asked twice but i think he's busy with school, etc. :tup:

No -- just an educated guess based on what I have read. I delivered it to the dealer about 430 PM today and too late for anyione to look at it yet.

Thanks for all of the kind wishes and support. Rep points might cheer me up. :icon17:

Me too. With my luck it will go when Im in the middle of nowhere in NC at ZDAYZ.:shakes head:

i see... :( sorry to hear and see.

if the dealer tells you they are back ordered for a long time, i would ask them if they can tap at the lock and to get it to start. chances are you can still use the car while you wait for your lock to come in.

courtesyparts.com has them in-stock as of today still... GL!!
