naz2k5 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Hey guys, Had this light come up on my car, quick search shows it could be the steering lock fault. (see pic below) Rang Nissan they said there is no recall on my car due - (2010 370z 40th anniv.) Question is where do I go from here? If it is a steering lock fault and there's no recall does that mean I have to pay out? judging from other responses I should be dropping car to Nissan ASAP? Other bit is official Nissan garage here in Leicester is pretty awful and Nissan authorized Sturgess is asking double just to diagnose Any advice would help thanks!

naz2k5 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 lol i will be embarrassed if its just that ! but relieved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Good luck with the battery change. If its still a problem let us know. It is still feasible that its the same issue on the later cars, as seen in the USA, just far far less likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I have had the unit changed on mine under recall but pulled the fuse anyway just in case it goes again. (For pulled - read replaced with a blown one) I call it an upgrade to the 2012 model spec (where they removed the steering lock) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naz2k5 Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Electrics and locks are working, just not starting, any idea if it's same issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 It can be. The new locks are vastly improved but can suffer from the same issue. Looks like lightning has hit twice. Hope you get it sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naz2k5 Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Just to give eveyrone an update it was the sterring lock issue and my car wasnt covered under recall. I did get the steering lock changed at nissan and after a lot of emails htey paid half towatds the privce making the total £700 However after talking wiht customer services it is known that they do know there is an issue wiht the new locks and thats why they made they made the contribution. My coomplaint is that they know there sitll is an issue and they should have taken the full cost, so few more letters will be sent out to get this fixed, however if there is anyone else on the ofrum who experienced this issue please dorp me a message as it will help the case.

flyboy Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Just pull the fuse now before it happens again. The 2012 model and onwards does away with the stupid thing. Everyone should pull the fuse whether they have had an issue or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 It's a recall issue so I would be pressing for them to play due to the recall or pay because the original fix was not done properly. I can't see how they can justify not paying when it's a known issue that Nissan have been officially notified of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naz2k5 Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 Exactly,was just about to sell this and buy a GTR but NIssan left me with a bitter taste now, think I might have to go for an XKR - S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
