NHTSA Complaint #10445047 — 2009 NISSAN 370Z

I WAS ROUTINELY DRIVING TO WORK ON A FRIDAY. I STOPPED TO GET GAS. THE CAR WOULDN'T START ONCE I WAS DONE AND A YELLOW/AMBER INTELLIGENT KEY LIGHT WAS ON. I GET A TOW TO THE NEARBY NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S A STEERING WHEEL LOCK. THEY SAID IT'S HAPPENING ON QUITE A FEW CARS AND THAT AN ALTIMA AND ANOTHER 370Z HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND ARE WAITING FOR THE SAME PART. I'M STILL WAITING ON THE PART AND IT HAPPENED OVER A MONTH AGO. THIS FAULTY PART FROM THE FACTORY HAS BEEN GOING OUT ROUTINELY FOR EVERYONE WHO OWNS A 09-10 370Z, ALTIMAS AND OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES THAT USE THE SAME STEERING WHEEL LOCK TECHNOLOGY. IT'S ABSOLUTELY ENRAGING THAT NISSAN IS RELEASING THESE PARTS (KNOWING THEY'RE BAD AS THEY'VE MADE REVISIONS ON THE NEWER 370Z) AND FORCING CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF POCKET AND WAIT A MONTH TO GET THE PART.
