2009 Nissan 370Z Steering Problems, Complaints and Defects

Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	After work, tried starting my 370z and it would not start, leaving me stranded. Tried other key fob, same issue. Had car towed to the nissan dealer who identified the issue as steering lock failure: $750 part +$50 overnight + $100 labor + tax = $960 total cost. Nissan has replaced the part on the 2009 gt-r but apparently is doing nothing for the z owners with same issue. Nissan will not cover the part since i am 18000 miles over warranty, yet many owners have had same failure/repair as evidenced by the forums online. I contacted nissan consumer affairs at 1800nissan1 and have started a "case" but do not expect resolution. They agreed to reimburse for a rental car up to 2 days $70 max. Meanwhile they will send a rep to review my car's diagnosis prior to instructing the dealer to complete repairs within the next 2 days. I find it interesting perusing all the other reported incidents on your site, there are quite a few reported in the month of october, 2012. There needs to be an official recall of this faulty expensive part in the 370z.
