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

Stearnsy

2011 370Z here (9/2010 build date). 52k miles.

Pulled car into garage on Thursday morning and it has been there since. Trickle charged overnight, power seems good; headlights, rear lights, interior lights, and horn all work as normal. Push to start button reads lock. Purchased 60k mile extended warranty at 47k, so I'm covered.

Have I had this steering lock failure as well?

I want to have the car towed today, but service is not open and the windows are down.

If the battery is good, shouldn't you be able to operate or reset the windows? Others who had an experience SLU issues please chime in.

Had car towed on a flatbed to Autoway Nissan of Clearwater yesterday. Service rep said it would have been ~$1300, but because I have the extended warranty I'm paying a $100 deductible. I also spoke with a young woman who is paying $1075 for the same issue on her 2010 Maxima. Dealer said car would be ready today (Monday).

Why has there not been a class action suit over this yet?

No, even with the fob in the slot beneath the dash, the push-to-start surround still reads "LOCK." Car will not go to ACC, so I cannot operate windows. Dome lights, headlights, tail lights, and brake lights do not require ACC, so they work.

Do not know how to "reset" windows. Moot point at this time since car is going to be picked up when I get out of work here in a few hours.
