I have a 2010 Z, built before 6/20 (Not sure what the difference is between before/after 6/20 builds but anyways) and have had (knock on wood) Zero issues with the Steering lock...

Is it something that if I took it to the dealer and explained quite a few Z's have had this issue, can you/will you do something about it so that I don't have to worry about this?

Or is it something that can only be fixed when it breaks?

Dealers only fix things when they break b/c they have to send back the defective parts.

The Fix for them was to stop using them mid to late 2011 . There are the bypass kits out there though, but pulling the fuse is the easy solution

So far I haven't had a problem with this feature and I've had mine for 40k+ mi.

Just wondering if there are extenuating circumstances that lead up to it, or if it's just random. Is it something people have happen soon after they buy their z?

Does the fuse power anything else, or only this system?

From What I have read/heard its random It will just happen one day lol sounds scary, but if you have not gotten it I would recommend taking out the fuse avoid the whole thing It Sucks!
