Consumer Description

CAR WAS PARKED AT A LOCAL COFFEE SHOP. SUDDENLY THE STEERING LOCK, PART OF THE STARTING SYSTEM WENT HAYWIRE AND DISABLED THE CAR COMPLETELY. NOW THE CAR CAN'T BE TURNED ON EVEN THOUGH THE KEY IS IN THE CAR AND THE BATTERY IS FULL. I BELIEVE NHTSA NEEDS TO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE EVERY 370Z IS AT RISK OF THIS PROBLEM, LEAVING ALL POTENTIAL OWNERS STRANDED. I BELIEVE NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AS THE NISSAN GT-R HAD A CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE THE VERY SAME PART. IT IS CALLED A STEERING LOCK. *TR
