ATTENTION!! 2009-2010 owners with steering lock/wont start issues

OldGuy · 04-12-2013, 06:32 AM

Had mine done yesterday, too. 1:00 hour there, as they also put in the new rear hatch springs they had been holding all winter for me while I was away. Two problems solved and a hand car wash---all on Nissan's tab. Very nice.

Thought people had the car lock on them even after the recall and that pulling the fuse was advisable?

Yes. I just had my steering lock replaced as well but it's only a matter of time until the new part fails, so I'm pulling the fuse anyway. I just wanted the new steering lock to potentially help the value when I sell in the future. Plus why not, it's free under warranty.

What version of steering lock does the dealer install?

OMG god. I thought these threads were over. No offense.

Hello everyone! I'm one of those guys driving an 90' Z who was affected by the SL failure. I was "lucky" and managed to knock it back into place by hitting it with a hammer, then cut the brown wire. This was before the fuse idea was discovered.

I just today received my recall notice for the SL unit, advising me to go in to the dealer and get it replaced.

My question: Because I've cut the brown wire, is this something that Nissan is going to give me hassle about when I go in to get it replaced?

Thanks!

Depends on the dealer. If you get a lot of static at one, go try another.

Got my letter, the part is in, supposed to have it replaced next Friday. I also just got 15,000 miles on my Z.

I just received the notice from Nissan on the steering wheel lock. I pulled the fuse on mine the day after I bought the car and don't see any reason to bring my car to the dealer for a replacement part.

How many of you who have pulled the fuse have had theirs replaced?

Should I have mine replaced?

Mines going to the dealership tomorrow for it

Had mine replaced as soon as I saw the notice on here but I never got around to pulling the fuse before that.

AlexRaymond19 · 04-23-2013, 07:52 AM

Mine is going in friday

Threw my notice in the garbage. Not worth my time to have my good disabled lock replaced with the same faulty one.
