I would think you would be covered by the recall. My '09 was.

mine was covered as well

There's a recall now, just go to the dealer and get it fixed. Takes about an hour to replace the unit if it is the problem and they have it in stock.

I will call them or stop by, cause now the key light is stuck on. If they replace it for me should I take the fuse back out again or will it not just happen again?

hey guys, so a few weeks ago i was having the same issue. i'd get in press clutch it wouldn't start, it simply go to lock. i went to nissan for that recall replacement. drop it off, came back and the tech said issue was fixed, i jumped in and tried it out, at first it seemed like nothing had changed, it didnt start right up. then the tech jumped in and sure enough it worked just fine for him, i tried it again and it appeared to be back to normal. past few days, it starts up at the first touch of the button but then theres times when it still goes to lock and i have to try 2-3 times. when i first got the car less than a year ago, the start was so smooth, i'd hit clutch and slight touch of button and car would start right up, i'm want to fix this issue. any suggestions???

So I had my lock module replaced (on my dime) in early '02. Got the recall notice earliy this year, and I just had the work done two weeks ago. Faxed everything in and I'm waiting on the check.

The replaced part was an 'A' or 'B' (don't know which), and a 'C' was put in its place originally. To get the refund, I had to take it back into the dealer to make sure the updated part is in there... no, so they put a 'D' in and I'm on my way again.

I'd love to be reimbursed for the multiple days of trouble, but that's life.

Check received this past weekend... good turnaround time on Nissan Corp's part. Roughly two weeks.

Can you please post the recall notice?

I'd like to take it to them to be reimbursed for the work..

Thanks!

this happened to me today. towed to dealer. :( :shakes head: :mad:

Me too, buddy. Literally yesterday.

This just happened to me right now. Sigh. I remember asking my dealer about this recall and he said he would look at it when he did my oil change awhile ago. I called nissan about this and he said there wasn't any recall that he know of. Stupid steering lock!!

Pull the fuse people!!!! End of discussion.

Intelligent Key light flashes: Not the end of discussion for me. I pulled the fuse. Still no start. Engine cranks but wont start. All other accessories seem ok.

Update: Found it to be nothing more than low battery in Key!

I was miles from home (or any store that might have a battery, of course), so I tried everything I could think of as I was stranded out in the middle of nowhere Colorado. The posts and blogs that
I read really led me down the wrong road, making me think I had some module failure or problem. Well, after having the wife come out and rescue me with my truck and a nice long tow rope, we began the long trek back home on the back roads toward home. About halfway home I remembered about the spare key I had the wife bring (along with various tools). So, just for the helluvit, I got the key from wifey and voila! Car started right up like magic. I was both pizzed and relieved at the same time. A low battery in this electronic key was the last thing I suspected, as it was still locking/unlocking the doors from a 100 ft away and allowing the engine to crank. Only that pesky little Intelligent Key red warning light was flashing. All I can imagine is that it requires a little more battery voltage to enable the engine to actually start. Different transmitter circuit in the Key? Heck if I know. I only wish the owner's manual had been a little more helpful and suggested that it could be a low battery condition in the key. What a fiasco!

Also: according to user's manual, there should have been a key low battery indicator warning light which I did not have. So, I have to assume there's some sort of bug in the software or hardware of my Intelligent Key system.

You have to pull the fuse before you have the issue arise, not after the fact. However, if you are saying the engine is cranking, then that's likely a different issue. The intelligent key issue is when you push the start button, and nothing happens.

Anyone know if they will replace it before it fails (still working)?
