I just filed, if they don't pay up i'll file a claim with BBB

Update: They called back and offered 50% back $760, i tried to get more but they said its final so i took it

I've got a 2010 roadster. Mine failed 2 nights ago. Temp was -11F. Took 1.5 hours to get a tow truck. Couldn't leave the vehicle as it was in a less than totally desirable part of town. I was bloody cold by the time we got it to the dealership.
Dealership..Crown Nissan in Winnipeg....has been absolutely great with dealing with this. I can't say enough good things about them. Definitely first class.

Called Nissan Canada this morning after I found out about this problem by googling it. Nissan insists I wasn't notified as my vehicle wasn't affected by this problem so the individual at Nissan insisted. I tried to explain that yes inddeedy it was affected as it was sitting in the dealership service department with this problem. He insisted that no I wasn't in the affected bunch of vehicles and I finally gave up talking and hung up....politely.

I got mine fixed under my extended warranty. Dealer was excellent.

That said Nissan Canada, when called, was less than excellent. Deny, Deny,Deny was Nissans position even though mine was a 2010 they said I was not affected. Bullfeathers.

Bottom line the newest one is prone to failure just like the earlier versions. Here in Manitoba winter can be brutal. Windchills in the area of -40 to -60F are not uncommon. If this thing breaks somewhere there's no help available or cell phone coverage it could be deadly. In the winter I put 4 studded snowtires and run it year round. I am concerned.

Not really a winterpeg car though - I sure don't miss those temperatures!

Nissan Canada owns 50% of each dealership service shop, it's part of their franchise contract. So even when they do cover the work, it's only costing them half as much to pay out to the dealer. Smart business I guess, still kind dirty though.

In any case glad they covered it. I'm still waiting from last July for the rubber boot that covers the shifter linkage below the car :rolleyes:

It works good in the winter especially with those tires and the limited slip diff. If we get a snowfall of any amount I wait till the roads are cleared. Had a Boxster before this and drove it year round too. All about tires. Porsce pushes driving their vehicles year round including boxsters/caymans/911 and they have winter driving schools if you're interested and have that kind of coin lying around.

Other than this steering lock I have been 100% happy with my 370. Till this event I've had exactly 1.5 hours of unscheduled maintenance in all these years...I've had the 370 since new. It's a 6 speed manual roadster with sport and touring packages. Dealer, Crown Nissan, has been excellent since day one.

Wish Nissan had a small SUV with a transmission other than a CVT and somewhat along the lines of the Machan or F-pace. I don't care for a CVT. Personal preference.

Calgary weather may be a little nicer than Winnipeg but I think I'll be getting a place on the Island.

Consumer affairs just denied my claim as well on a 2010 370z. The lady I spoke to was clueless. Kept saying their were no recalls on my 2010 350z and that my mileage was too high to issue a claim.

Yep, same happened to my 2010, i think filed a complaint since you can't file a claim and they gave me $700 back

My rev B failed on me and had to get my car towed home. Nissan is saying they do not see my VIN including in the TSB.

Going by what you said, is it possible to take another working steering lock, swap it in, and it's good to go? Does the revision version matter? I read somewhere that it may potentially need to be coded to your remote to work. Can you please advise on this?

Thank you

Thanks to this forum, when the car would not start, this was the first thing I thought of. I entered my cars VIN into the Nissan Recall website and sure enough there is a recall for this exact problem. To get the car running, I tapped the steering lock mechanism several times (while holding the start button in) with a rubber mallet until the car started, then drove straight to the dealer. Also, I called to make sure they had the part in stock before heading over. Excellent service from the dealer.
