Consumer Description

ATTEMPTED TO START MY 370Z THIS MORNING, KEY LIGHT WOULD COME ON, AND THE LOCK LIGHT CAME ON THE PUSH BUTTON START. BUT NO RESPONSE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK MECHANISM IS STUCK HALFWAY SO THE STEERING WHEEL TURNS BUT NOTHING IS INDICATING TO THE ECU THAT IT IS UNLOCKED. NISSAN HAD ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE SAME PART ON 2009 GT-R'S (NTB10-025 P0309) BUT NOT ON 370Z'S. IT BECAME SUCH AN ISSUE THAT IN 2011/2012 NISSAN STOPPED INSTALLING THE DEVICE ON THE 370Z MODEL. MORE AND MORE 370Z OWNERS ARE BECOMING STRANDED BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED. *TR
