*Voluntary Service Campaign ** Steering Lock Fix**

xxAGAVExx

I called Nissan North America. I already had a case number since I had been complaining since it first went bad. I called them about 4 weeks ago when I first heard about the recall. They told me to fax my receipt and registration. I did that the next day, and they said my check would go out the following week. Well I never got it so i called, they said I needed to take it to a dealership since I didn't get it replaced at a dealership. I told them to look at the FN receipt, it says Nissan, so she said she had to call the dealership. Ends up the part they replaced it with just a month ago isn't the latest and greatest version, so I took it back to the dealership the next day to get the newest slu. After that I got my check 2 weeks later.

I dropped mine off at the local dealer last night with recall notice in hand. Was supposed to pick it up tonight after work with the new ESCL installed. Just received a call from said dealer and was told that Nissan did not want them to replace it because this is not the dealer where the car was purchased from. WTF??? I said that it does not matter where the car was purchased, you are an authorized Nissan dealer, replace the recalled part. The service guy totally agreed with me, and oh, besides, they had NO parts in stock. Another WTF??? I thought that this was the reason to SCHEDULE an appointment so they would have a replacement part available.

So, I get to take the car back home until the issue is resolved. This is my first experience with Nissan Service, and I am less than impressed. Hopefully, we can get this taken care of soon.

Sorry, I just needed to vent.

Just came back from dealer. Was in and out in 30 minutes. Checked out the sticker and it reads 48700 JF00D B1 01.

Not sure why the date on sticker was 05-03-13 though.

Going on the assumption that Nissan doesn't have a time machine, the date must be in DD-MM-YY form.

Correct, the rest of the world operates that way, the US is MM-DD-YY.
Mults, sounds like the dealership is just being retarded. Found out they were out of stock so made up some excuse, if you have any other options go to that dealership.

Well, I just got a call from the dealer and they found a local dealer with the part in stock for another customer's recalled Z. So, all is well with the world. It sucks for the other car, but it's OK with me .

Now, let's see how many additional miles are on the car from the time I dropped it off yesterday.

Just got the notice from the mail. For a 2010 w/ 41k, ESCL still functions and has never failed me yet (knock on wood). I'll head to the dealer in a moment.

I wanted to pull the fuse too, but just not having a lock bugs me.

How long did it take and which one in SD did you take it to?

karotZ

I took it to Mossy Nissan in National City. It took them 2 hours, look for Jose or Jorge on the service dept.

-edit-
I saw a gun metallic 370Z that had their ESCL replaced as well, anyone know who this is? It had a blacked out rear valence, couldn't see the rest since it's all the way inside the service depot.
