Will the feeling ever go away........

It'll disappear quickly when you have steering lock failure and your realize your warranty is expired and you're looking at a $1,000 plus bill! Love Nissan corporate!

Pull the fuse, a 25mins simple work that can save you $1,000 plus 2 - 3 weeks of waiting time.

Fuse pulled well in time---my mechanic did it in 8 minutes flat at no charge (Dealership estimated $125.00). Just feel badly for so many other guys who didn't know better. Still down on Nissan for being totally unresponsive and irresponsible about this.

I already got the steering lock failure, warranty was expired and it cost me $1100 to fix it. Ill be safe for another year, ill be sure to pull the fuse before the year ends and maybe maybe before that Nissan recalls the part.

Where did one year come from? Do it now.

Well the reason I'm waiting is because if they do recall the part and I have to go to the dealer what I'm I going to say when they see the fuse missing or the wired cut?? The warranty for the replaced part is for a year, so I want to leave it there in case the lock fails again, then after the year I can pull it.

Also the replace steering lock is the D version, I believe that's the one that should have no problems.

Also I'm scare

Tell them you pulled the fuse because the steering like is a POS. I think it was removed from the later models entirely. Don't see why they would have any problem with it, also the fuse is not exactly easily accessible.

If they do have a problem, find another dealer.

The ONLY potential issue I see is with the insurance company if the car gets stolen.

dude... once you pulled the fuse, the fuse won't lock thus the problem is fixed for good...


And I sure the lock won't go defective within 12 month but the 13th...

And you have to wait for another 2-3 weeks for the parts and pay another $1000 and rant in here...

Wait for a recall...?? It's been a problem since 2009 and there's no recall plus Nissan stop using the Lock from mid-2011 therefore the chance of having a recall is -100%

not being rude but if your Steering Lock goes fail again don't post anything in here to complain cos you've been told a solution but you chose to ignore it...

R0bDC

Can I still complain to Nissan?

Right now I'm enjoying my Z, which is why I created this thread idk why it turn into a "R0bDC pull the fuse" thread
