“My steering lock assembley went out on my 2010 Nissan 370Z causing the car not to start. Had to have it towed to the dealership where I'm now finding out that there is no recall on this item or not covered on warranty. It seems that many other Nissan owners are having the same problem. Nissan refuses to pay and it's a $1,000 repair”

“I went to the store and parked my car. When I went back out to my car 15 mins later the steering wheel column had locked up and would not allow me to start my car. It no longer recognized the key. This appears to be a reoccurring issue with my make and model and therefore should be a recall.”

“Vehicle was parked and wouldn't start. Told by dealership it's the electronic steering lock. Read online several complaints of others having the same issue. I called Nissan USA. I was told there isn't or hasn't been a recall on my vehicle for this issue and they would not make good on this faulty part. The repair cost $1,200.”

“On dec 2 2014 I noticed that the intelligent ket light was on. Once I got home after work I looked it up on the manuel and it said it could be a malfunction and to contact a Nissan dealer. Well on the morning of 3 dec I go to work and no light. At around 2030 I got released for the day. Go to start my car and nothing. Had to get a ride to a store and wait for wife to pick me up.”
