In October I purchased a 2010 370Z Roadster/touring, 36,000 miles. Pre-purchase reading of this forum alerted me to the steering lock issues. Before I bought the car I checked that this car had the steering lock recall done. I'm now wondering if the recall really fixed the problem. I'm not having any problems but did the recall fix the problem or just cause new issues? Thanks.

Since people are reporting that the replacement ESCLs are failing, I'd say Nissan did not fix the problem. Pull the fuse.

My Key light was on and off for a few months. Finally the steering lock bit the dust and had to get towed. There are some good DIY fixes on here that worked for me. Good luck friends!
