Description of the problem	My car failed to start after on 3 1/2 years of owning it. When i took it into the dealer, i was told that it was a "steering lock mechanism" failure, and because my car was 6 months out of warranty, i would be required to pay $1,337. 96 to get my car up and running again. While i was at the dealer, i was told this item has had problems since they started making the 370z. The mechanic told me that he's fixed countless steering locks on the 370 & advised me to contact nissan. Prior to contacting nissan, i did some research of my own & lo & behold, i'm not the only person with this issue! There is a 370z forum (the370z. Com) where multiple people expressed their displeasure with this part. I was 3 pages into the discussion & had already counted 15 instances where this item had failed. I find it very troublesome that nissan would not only produce a faulty part, but won't even stand behind it their mistakes. I contacted nissan via letter through their consumer affairs department & was told there's nothing they can do; since my car was out of warranty. To me, that shows nissan does not care if they are producing faulty parts or not. That is why i am writing you. I believe this issue needs to be resolved one way or another as i'd hate to see someone else have the same misfortune as i did. Everything i've read states that this item was over oiled during assembly, which tells me 1 thing; this item needs to be recalled & customers that had this problem should be reimbursed for their troubles. Please look into this issue as nissan does not seem to care one bit! Thank you for your time!!
