| Description of the problem | On december 6, my vehicle's engine did not start at a gas station, so i had to tow it to the nearest nissan dealership. When i towed it in to the dealership, the service writer already knew the cause of the failure and told me that this will probably be repaired at no charge. He said that this is very common on z. After the diagnosis, he called me and said that the electric steering column lock needs to be replaced. This parts is what they replaces a lot for this service campaign, but somehow my vehicle does not fall in to this service campaign, and he does not understand why it does not, so he told me to call 800-nissan1 to file a complaint. Now, this service campaign was released for electric steering column lock problem for 2009-2010 370z, and now, based on service writer? S opinion and my research on this campaign, my vehicle issue should be included in the service campaign due to 1 my vehicle is 2010 370z. 2 the parts which caused for my vehicle issue was electric steering column lock, and this part is the exactly same parts replaced to take care of this service campaign. |
