Those of you who have had Steering Lock Failure

SiXK · 01-27-2012, 09:13 AM

31000 miles when it failed.

2009 370Z with sport package bought Jan 15, 2009 (so it had to be among the first ones out)

I do not know which lock unit I had. Did not know what to look for at the time.

Sorry...I guess I should have responded to Jenny instead of your post. Your DYI is so easy there is no reason to pay the dealership anything unless you need to buy the part from them.

Got Mine a week ago (failure that is) 2009 with 27,000 miles revision B. Part has been back ordered for over a month already. Not ETA on when it'll be available either. Also courtesy parts claims to have them but when I called the do not have any in stock.

i ordered the revD last friday and got an eta of yesterday...then received a call from nissan this morning saying that the part is on its way from japan and will be in north carolina on the 26th of february and then shipped to cali (puente hills nissan) by march..

i was hoping to be proactive and switch out my revA before it fails cuz my z is daily driven

just fyi: #48700-JF00D
list price: $718.94
discounted price: $546.39 +tax

No, we've been getting ripped off like this for 40 years.

Pathetic.

When the dealer replaced my steering lock they did not have to reprogram my keys. Don't let em charge you for that. The steering lock has nothing to do with the key programming.

Yeah, that's why I originally questioned Jenny about it....

cossie1600 · 01-27-2012, 07:14 PM

$546 is not bad at all. that's quite a long lead-time to ETA.

i think baer got them cheaper but he has hook ups maybe?
