Your dealership will not know anything about the recall that was done unless they have been there for a considerable time. You will need to contact Nissan Customer Services so you can raise a case. In the first instance though the person from customer services will check for recalls and confirm there weren't any for the steering lock module. You need to ask to speak to a customer service manager where even they will deny all knowledge and state they will look into. I had the steering lock fail on my 2011 370z, after two weeks of discussions with a case manager (where I was accused of trying to pull a fast one) my module was replaced for free by Nissan. This was last summer.

Been out tonight to check the chassis number and steering lock module number, mine is JF00C-B1--01. Based on what I have been reading it would appear that this module is covered by the recall and should be replaced free of charge. While I was outside I went to start the car twice... typically it fired up without issue. Regardless of this I'm going to call Nissan tomorrow and get it sorted. Will370z - I've seem your posts regarding Aldershot dealer, they're about 45mins to hour from me so I can cope with that for the sake of using a dealer that has experience in this. I'll give them a call tomorrow. Thanks

I'm going to pull the fuse tonight and see what happens. That said going forward I want to sell the car (been faultless until now) and potentially purchase a V1 Nismo, so I'm going to need to fix it in reality.

Hi All - rarely post on here, in fact I haven't since I bought the car back in 2013 but I'm hoping someone can steer me in the right direction. Over the last few days it has become apparent that I have the early signs of the steering lock failure. I go to start the car, dip the clutch, press the button and the engine doesn't fire. Now sometimes this is resolved by: 1. Getting out the car, locking it and going through the usual process. 2. Getting out the car, locking it and then jiggling the steering wheel. 3. Getting out the car, locking it, placing foot on clutch and placing car in gear. Ultimately this needs fixing. Looking at previous posts Nissan seems to be the way to go, although it would seem that when this problem first came to light Nissan charged people £1800 to diagnose and replace the module. I've seen more recent posts that now suggest Nissan will charge around £500 (£250 for the module)... certainly rather pay that than the former. I note there was a recall but only for 370s up to 2010 (seems daft but typical) mine is March 2011. I suppose my question is, where should I take the car to get this sorted? Given where I live Nissan in Crawley (Surrey) are the closest, anyone used them, are they any good? Usually take the car to Abbey as I've never been a fan of dealerships. Any help much appreciated.

Thanks for the info, didn't get a chance to look at the weekend... well actually I forgot until late Sunday evening when I reversed the car.

Great stuff thanks, I shall take a look at the weekend.

Hi all, While I'm very much enjoying my 370z (2011) there is one thing that is annoying me and that is the rear parking sensors, they are so loud! I'm assuming these are retro fitted by the dealer (as I can't see anything in the manual) and as such there is a little box of tricks some where that will able me to turn the volume down, so to speak. Am I correct and if so does anyone know where this little box is usually located? Thanks

Hello to all, apologies for not getting round to posting a photo of the 370z, I've been rather busy and tbh it's no different to any other grey 370z.

As requested... here's one of the SX sitting outside Surrey Rolling Road. I'll find one of the Zed shortly.

Thought it was about time I said hello as I joined about a week ago. My name is Stuart but everyone calls me Cloudy and I live on the out skirts of the delightful and ever pleasent Croydon. I purchased a grey 2011 370z about a month ago now and have been enjoying it ever since. Actually took delivery of the car on 30th August and promptly took it for a 2000mile jaunt across France for two weeks, re-confirmed to me exactly why I bought it. Previously owned a Nissan S14a which I owned for about 9 years and spent a small fortune on but decided it was time to move on and get something a little bit more refined and grown up. Cloudy
