****. **** THIS ******* PIECE OF **** CAR. Spend 40k on a god damn car that won't ******* run. If I had gas left in my mower's gas can I'd douse this ******* car right now and burn it.

Yes the steering lock just happened.

I ripped the cowl panel off and the battery cover and yanked the fuse but unfortunately damage is done, won't start. Threw all the broken bits in the cab and its leaving on a wrecker. Nissan can have this ****

i just might, then toss the bottles at the car

seriously guys if your steering lock sounds a little weak, yank the damn fuse. i heard mine about a week out sound like it was slower and not the quick sound. i'm kicking myself now...

Do you still have the car in your possession? Or is it at the dealers right now? If you still have it try getting a hammer and tapping on the lock as you are turning the car on, some members have been able to get it to unlock one more time then they either pull the fuse or cut the wire.

here's two different ways to fix it if you do get it to unlock again......

Steering Lock: cut one wire. /switch optional

TRY IT!!!!! (the tapping, but don't smash it cause your mad just be light)

I know many others have had it work, I am hoping it works for you to! GL

Red__Zed · 11-18-2012, 05:57 PM

This is such a well-documented issue at this point I would find it tough to fault the car.

Z-Girl 12 · 11-18-2012, 05:57 PM

Sorry dude.

Trips · 11-18-2012, 06:01 PM

Keep a cool head and once all calm make either the attempt to see if the tapping works and if it does order a replacement steering lock.

Totally understand the frustration but a cooler needs to prevail

tapping didn't do anything. its gonna have to sit a while. hope it doesn't rain this week as i'm riding the fury to work

RoshDawg · 11-18-2012, 07:23 PM

Does insurance or Nissan take care of things when this happens? Any sort of compensation? That's sad to hear though I would be very upset as well.

LMBmikeZ · 11-18-2012, 07:24 PM

umm... I would say go out again in say 30-40 mins and try again see if you get lucky. Remember you have to be tapping before you hit the start button and keep tapping as you push the button (in case you were just tapping it a couple times and then hitting the button)
