if you had the lock failure be sure to file a complaint here

https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/index.cfm

there have been many reports of this failure on this forum alone if everyone files the complaint the government will force the recall

A class action lawsuit need to be filed.

Right on. I've filed with mine as well. I've been dealing with some woman at Nissan Corp USA and she's helping me "expedite" my car getting help. However, it's been over a month now. I'm going to call her today and tell her I shouldn't be paying for this.

m4a1mustang · 01-23-2012, 06:40 PM

To pull the car up on the flatbed, yes.

370zproject · 01-24-2012, 12:53 PM

Ok good

m4a1mustang · 01-24-2012, 12:57 PM

Though you could probably tap on the steering lock then drive up yourself.

So its like a car starter that wont turn over... just tap it a few times and sometimes it will work lol. I agree with the person that suggested this is happening so often because of the cold weather. I do not remember this many locks going bad last summer.

I think it's more time related than temperature. Plus this has been a very warm winter.

370zproject · 01-24-2012, 02:14 PM

Tried no go
