Steering lock problem solved (for real)

JARblue

You've got it Rocxtar. It is meant to be a preventative measure for those whose ESCL has not yet failed. DemandedAce is one of a number of people who've found this thread after their ESCL failed. Beating on the actual module itself (under the steering column) while trying to start the car has been successful for those people in most circumstances. Although he is experiencing something unusual for sure.

DemandedAce, assuming it is the ESCL, I might be tempted to go to a dealership and see if you can't get them to do something for you. Even call corporate and ask for goodwill coverage. Explain that your Rev D unit is failing and is not covered by the recall even though it should be. Nissan gave Rev D unit to late-year 2010 models and early-year 2011 models and then got rid of the ESCL completely after the recall of Rev A, B, and C units. Rev D units are still prone to failure.
