Steering lock fail.

I have heard many, many stories of steering lock failure on these cars made from 2008-2010 Nissan's more expensive sports car, rhe gt-r, has the same problem with the same parts and was the subject of a recall. Will something be done? people are beng stranded all over when their vehicles won't start!.

Steering wheel lock unit failed in lock position disabling vehicle. Out of warranty replacement required. Research indicated that this part is based on a faulty design that has subsequently been removed from later model years but due to this defect and frequent failure rate I expect to have to replace it annually at a cost of over $500 per incident. The vehicle is completely disabled when this part fails requiring the vehicle to be towed to a service station at owner's expense. This part is clearly a faulty design and should be recalled by the manufacturer and replaced with a design that doesn't fail annually or eliminated.

Nissan listen up ------------------------------ this is a known issue with the Nissan steering lock mechanism as others have reported. My car was stranded in the middle of nowhere. Could not start the car, the manual key was not help. Car would not start. I tried to order the part, steering lock version 'd', but it's backordered and Nissan USA is not selling this part to consumers according to northern virginia Nissan dealers. My only resource was it get it towed and pay $1450. 00 for part + labor from the dealer directly. This is definitely not right. My car has 5000 miles on it. And the steering lock failure (version a,b,c) has happened to many owners who have keyless ignition on Nissan on the gtr model, and the part was recalled. Yet for 370z owners, no action. Definitely my last Nissan. . .
