| Description of the problem | I have a 2010 370z with only 20,000 miles. I have to say we all (family) were very happy with it till today. My wife always kept it inside our garage, all services up to date. Early in the morning she tried to start it but steering wheel lock came up, we tried everything, checked key fab battery and nothing. Finally we had to call roadside assistance and the vehicle was towed to the dealership. Once there we were told by our service advisor that it's a very common failure on 370z as a fact he showed us 3 others yes!! 3 more vehicles with same issue he also told us that there's a recall on the same problem on an altima and maxima but no the 370z why? He knew right away what the problem was and even told us right away "this is going to cost at least 1200 because that part is around 1000 really!! Nissan thank you!! What a joke for an almost 50,000 dollar car. |
