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

doesntcount · 02-05-2013, 12:09 PM

If this ends up being the steering lock, I will certainly be complaining to Nissan Canada and Nissan USA.

Anifaust, on the left edge of the left console (not the main screen but the outer edge, there is a tiny orange symbol that says "Key". That lights up briefly when I first get in the car. Then it goes out after a few seconds.

The push-button ignition reads "Lock"

Pushing the push-buttom ignition does absolutely nothing.

All other keyfob functions (lock, unlock, etc) work fine.

The tow truck is ordered. Should be here in 45mins.

So angry.

Is there any chance this part is covered under the 5-year drive train warranty? Someone mentioned that it happened a few weeks ago and they have an '09, and they had theirs covered under warranty. Did they buy exteneded warranty? Or is it covered under the 5-year?

It is your steering lock. Mine failed almost two weeks ago.
