2 weeks into ownership and its dead !

As above, 60 plate black edition, died whilst getting fuel, ended up pushing it so other people could get past at the pumps. (they are heavy !).

They key fobs would flash when pressed as though locking and unlocking but the red alarm light would not go out. Would not start and the window was down so no electrics. Rang the garage I bought it from eventually got it flat bedded back to the garage (missed my sunday dinner ), been with the garage for 5 days now. It's now at Nissan and apparently it's a fault with the immobilizer. Still waiting to hear what they are doing with it. Bloody warranty better cover it !

What a bummer! Hope you get it sorted ok 

[davey_83]

Sounds like this matter or maybe battery earth cable broken.

sorry to hear your bad luck , let us know how you get on.

As you have previously mentioned starting issues:

Sounds like it is a battery issue.  Do you know if the steering lock issue has been fixed that affected many 370s of similar age to your car:

Update, Mill Volvo didn't know what was happening but i know they had sent it to Nissan (next door) so I drove along to Nissan. The workshop was shut but the sales lad rang the service manager even though he had finished work. He explained and it got a bit complicated, they started the car via computer ! so they know its not the engine, they have de-programmed the fobs and re-coded. They are waiting on  Mill Volvo to approve a part (warranty) and guess what part, as you have mentioned the power steering !!!!

 

I didn't think it was this at first as I assumed it meant the lock was on, he explained that it will still move but very very heavy . Yup I noticed when trying to push it. Hopefully fixed soon.

 

Thanks for your advice  cracking forum.

Remember and pull the fuse once you get the car back so that you do not experience a recurrence of steering lock failure.

[daz8235]

will do is it in a post which one to pull ? Also I have just seen the costs in a post £1k + !!! they shove that up their arse I'm not paying, hope they warranty coughs up.

[daz8235]

Ah well disappointing news from the dealer, it's not covered by the warranty and Nissan want £740 to fix. Gona hide in a hole for a while

just removed the fuse on mine.....plenty of videos on you tube.

 

[daz8235]

I've not had to do this before but I'm reasonably confident with mechanical things so willing to give it a go if you need a hand. How hard can it be?.....

 

Whereabouts are you?

[John Hannon]

The hardest thing is removing the fuse box, it does take a considerable pull to get it out, once done it’s dead easy, the YouTube tutorial is spot on 

If you can’t get the steering lock to release it’s too late to do this process.....you’re into the £700 bill to resolve it

Cheers Washington near Sunderland. bit far for you. Also the new part comes with a 12 Month warranty from Nissan so I'm now a bit dubious to fiddle with it. Thanks for the offer though. Maybee in 12 months 1 day :0)

Ok no worries, may be catch you at a meet if the North East,if such a thing happens.
