I was wanting to know when my specific car was built. But you can tell that from the vin number anyways right?

rosh- open your driver side door and there is a label there that says something like Nissan Motors. then a date (this is your build date) and all the general specs along with VIN number.

If you give me your VIN, I can tell you when it was built. But, no, you generally cannot decode from the VIN when it was built, only the model year. You could make an educated guess based on the last few digits though.

Well Mr. onzedge, I guess your dealer is quite trustworthy and kind-hearted :tup:

Unfortunately, however, this also means we can no longer be friends as I think it's extremely unfair that my local dealer (not the place where I bought the car) is the edifical (not a real word beeteedubs) embodiment of Judas Iscariot mixed with Kesha - and I'm pretty sure when my steering lock goes, they'll probably just tape a bag of tootsie rolls onto my steering wheel, claim that it's fixed, and charge me my first born for the so-called repair.

Dang.

fix'd.

You all lost me after Tootsie rolls...

mine died today ill post pics later

:confused:

Pics of his Z on the flatbed.

Mmm, fix'd! :yum:

:drool: :yum: :drool:

Pics of Tootsie Rolls? :yum:

MMmmm, food. lol

Check sabi's profile... :bowrofl:

Hilarious! :bowrofl:

If the 2012's don't have them then I don't want one either. We need a bypass.

I think there is still a steering lock on the car, just not the same kind... :confused:

name names... whered you buy and whos the local stealership?

Got my Z back today. Only at the dealership 3 total days. Hope it doesn't happen again!!

I would go look under your steering column and just double check and make sure you got latest version steering lock (RevC or RevD)

Attachment 40127:shakes head:

I'm guessing thats a RevB?

Yep, that's correct. That was in my car. still working fine when I took it off though and replaced with RevC for the time being.

:( but you had so many chances to take the car in before total failure. :icon17:

I have already been through this. When my under-warranty 370Z was towed into Reed Nissan, probably the worst dealership I have ever dealt with, they told me it would take a week to look at it because I had no appointment.

That's right, car behind me on a flatbed and they get irritated because I didn't schedule the complete failure of the car.

I went home, called Nissans consumer affairs. They acted appalled and I believe they were, a regional manager contacted Reed Nissan and the car was looked at immediately. Took two days to get the part though.

I had hoped to keep this car for a while, but can't imagine the nightmare of dealing with this intelligent key garbage for 10-12 years. Killing and re-cranking your car miles from home, like at a gas station or rest stop, shouldn't make your stomach turn with dread. I'd pay $1000 or more for a product that bypasses all of this crap and allows me to crank my car with a normal key. Anything that would get rid of this worthless "intelligent" system for good.

not really i needed the car to get to work i dont know to many pple i can bum rides off here :(

yep, i can understand. i have folks living near me that work at the same office but with my schedule with the kids in mind, i need to have a car.

i was thinking the dealer could give you a loner while they diagnose the repeat problem. most folks dont get second/third chances with the steering lock failing. im not saying you did anything wrong as this shouldn't happen in the first place and this all sucks.

Mine died last Thursday, took the tech most of Friday to diagnose. Replacement part was ordered "overnight" on Friday... and yesterday morning the SA told me the part was backordered and that the ETA is a month. UGH! Contacted Nissan and asked why a recall or at least a TSB hasn't been issued yet (and ragged on them for not having more replacements in the pipeline) - no response yet.

Wow -- I am waiting about that long too. It sucks that this topic is your first post. I will rep you to make you feel a little better.

oh man..they told me last night same thing.."overnighted" probably goin to get a phone call today and say the same thing that its on backorder!

Damn... that's a long wait. :(

well this sucks :thumbsdown:

:iagree:

Nissan of North America don't response to any email and they have changed all they contacts. Way to go Nissan. :shakes head:

Don't even know where to look to be honest. Can you give me more info or pics of what i am looking at.

So I saw from another post I am looking for a silver box looking thing but from looking at it how do I know what version it is??

Kenchan spells it out pretty clearly in his DIY linked above.
