Description of the problem	I purchased my first nissan, a 2009 370z, in 2018. I went to start my car and it would not start, after reading various forums on the internet i found the issue with the 370z is well documented to the escl (electronic steering column lock) issue. There is no warning to this occurring; i drove my car to the store and then home, an hour later went to start to the car and it would not start. The only lead i had was the intelligent key warning light, that when referenced in the owner's manual states this will lock the steering column and prevent the car from starting. This is usually triggered from an unregistered key but my keys were registered and had worked with the car from the time i bought it. The car has had this module changed out for parts are dated, and the current module is dated from 2012, after the car was released in 2009. I am not faced with replacing this part to get my 370z to start, i have to have the car towed to the nissan shop and was told it will be about $1100 to fix. It is well documented that the escl that nissan uses is malfunctioning. The internet is full of stories of people stranded. Nissan claims to have fixed this issue but clearly they have not. Currently nissan is recalling the 2009 altima due to a defective escl and repair them for free. However, if you had bought a 2009 370z, the same year as the altima, you must pay for the defect. The escl that has to be installed is part # 48700-9n00b, which is the sixth (6) part number for the escl.
