STEERING
THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED IN A RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY. WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OR WARNING IT WAS FULLY IMMOBILIZED AND COULD NOT BE MOVED AT ALL. HAD THE VEHICLE BEEN PARKED IN A REMOTE OR CONGESTED AREA A HAZARD CERTAINLY WOULD BE PRESENTED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO NISSAN DEALER WHERE THE ISSUE WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK (PART NUMBER 48700 MANUFACTURED JANUARY 28TH 2010). THE NISSAN SERVICE FITTED A DIFFERENT/REVISED PART AT A COST OF $1,608.00. NISSAN HAS A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN ADDRESSING THIS EXACT "MANUFACTURING IRREGULARITY." A CLAIM WAS FILED BUT DENIED BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE/MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED. NISSAN CUSTOMER AFFAIRS REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, STATING SIMPLY "THAT IS PROPRIETARY." A QUOTE FROM THE CAMPAIGN LITERATURE, 'DEALER WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK (ESCL) WITH AN ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN BOX (ESCB). THE ESCB WILL REPLACE THE ESCL ASSEMBLY, BUT WILL NO LONGER LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND TURNED OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING FUNCTION IS NOT NECESSARY AS THE VEHICLE IS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH AN ANTI-THEFT IMMOBILIZER TO HELP PREVENT THEFT. INSTALLATION OF THE ESCB WILL ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF A NO-START CONDITION RELATED TO THE MANUFACTURING IRREGULARITY ON THE ESCL.' PICTURES OF THE DEFECTIVE PART, INCLUDING MARKINGS ARE ATTACHED.

THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK DEVICE HAS BEEN FAILING DAILY.I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MARCH OF 2014 AND I HAVE ALL OF THE PAPERWORK THAT SHOWS THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOOK IT TO AUTONATION NISSAN CHANDLER AND UNDER RECALL P3208 IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IN 2013. I DIDN'T EVEN OWN THE CAR TIL 2014!THE NTB13-014 ALSO WAS ON THE INVOICE. IT SAYS THEY REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK UNIT- I HAVE SPENT OVER $20K ON MY Z ( NOT INCLUDING THE PRICE OF THE CAR, AND I CAN'T EVEN GET LARRY H MILLER NISSAN TO TAKE CARE OF IT. THEY WANT $1500. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW LARRY H MILLER NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS AND NEW THE DATES IT WAS 'FIXED' AT THE OTHER DEALERSHIP, AND FAILED TO NOTIFY ME WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION.I HAVE ALL MY INVOICES FOR WORK DONE,AND A NISSAN W 44,000 MILES HAS HAD ENDLESS PROBLEMS -PLEASE HELP. I AM DISABLED, AND THIS IS A HUGE FINANCIAL BURDEN FOR ME,I REALLY HAD A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN NISSAN TAKING CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS - IT SEEMS THAT ISN'T THE CASE- ON JUNE 27 I GOT INTO A SMALL ACCIDENT AND IT ENDED UP COSTING GEICO $14,850.35 - WHEN THEY BROUGHT IT BACK THE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM HAD GOTTEN LOOSE SINCE IT'S LOCATED UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE GAS TANK AND IS A TYPICAL PROBLEM WITH 370 Z'S AND THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR IT ALSO THE CAR IS RIDING A LOT LOWER TO THE GROUND THAN IT EVER WAS THE BLACK BUMPER GUARD AT THE VERY BOTTOM IS ALL SCRAPED UP AND THAT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE SO EITHER THE FRONT SHOCKS OR STRUTS ARE LOWER THAN BEFORE. I LOVE MY Z AND I'VE PUT OVER $40,000 INTO IT AND NOW I CAN'T GET PEOPLE TO DO WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO BECAUSE THEY 'DON'T WANT TO' THE PEOPLE WHO FIX YOUR CAR'S KNOW ABOUT ALL OF THESE CONSISTENT PROBLEMS & THEY SHOULD FIX THEM AND IT SEEMS LIKE THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX PROBLEMS THAT ARISE WITH THE SAME MODEL.I HAD TO HAVE MY INSURANCE ADJUSTER CALL JUST TO GET THE FUEL PUMP FIXED. NISSAN WANTED ME TO PAY FOR IT

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STEERING LOCK UNIT FAILED. HAD A KEY EMBLEM THE NIGHT BEFORE, THOUGHT IT WAS MAYBE A FOB BATTERY ISSUE. NEXT MORNING VEHICLE WOULD NOT START OR GO INTO ACCESSORY POSITION. RESEARCHED AND FOUND THE COMMON STEERING LOCK UNIT ISSUE. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, AND SURE ENOUGH THE UNIT HAD FAILED. REPLACED PART OUT OF POCKET, AS THE ISSUE WAS COVERED FOR 2009 AND FIRST HALF 2010 CARS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. MINE IS A SECOND HALF 2010 SO NO COVERAGE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN 370Z. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WHEN THE KEY WAS USED. ALSO, THE POWER STEERING BECAME VERY STIFF AND FAILED TO TURN RIGHT OR LEFT. THE FAILURES OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MODERN NISSAN OF LAKE NORMAN (18615 STATESVILLE RD, CORNELIUS, NC 28031) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AT 800-647-7261 AND STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING SINCE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. CASE NUMBER: 29498996 WAS PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,300.

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.

STEERING
DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK (ESCL) ON 11/11/2017 MY 2010 370Z WOULD NOT START IN A COMMERCIAL PARKING LOT, COMPLETELY DISABLED. AFTER SOME QUICK RESEARCH, THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED. I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AS THERE HAS BEEN FOR THE GT-R, ALTIMA AND I BELIEVE A FEW OTHER MODELS. I'M AFRAID THAT MY VEHICLE MAY NOT BE COVERED UNDER THOSE OTHER RECALLS ALTHOUGH THE ISSUE IS THE SAME. NOTE THAT NISSAN DISCONTINUED THIS EQUIPMENT STARTING IN 2012, LIKELY DUE TO ITS UNRELIABILITY. I HAVE OWNED 4 OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES (1989 NISSAN PATHFINDER, 350Z, SENTRA, FRONTIER). THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M STUCK WITH A "DEAD" CAR THAT WILL COST ME A LOT TO GET REPAIRED. IT IS NOW SITTING AT MY NISSAN DEALER AND WAITING TO HEAR FROM MY SERVICE ADVISOR. HE WAS QUITE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.
