| Description of the problem | My 2009 nissan 370z failed to start on feb 21st without any warning. The intelligent key light was on while trying to start the car by pushing the 'start' button. Tried inserting the key fob into the fob slot but the car still failed to start. After reading numerous threads related to this problem on www. The370z. Com, i discovered that this is a common problem to the 370z. I was able to start the car one more time by hitting the steering lock unit. I immediately drove to the dealership where they confirmed that my steering lock unit had to be replaced. The cost was $1335. 70 total for parts and labor. |
