| My car will not start due to the well-known yellow key light problem. i had it towed to the shop and i am afraid that the repair bill will be very expensive. please make a recall for this obvious defect. it is very cold right now and could have been a real danger due to the cold weather. *tr | |||

| I drove my car to work and everything was running fine, as i stopped at a store to grab something and came back out my car no longer worked. the system would no longer recognize the intelligent key, and the push start button was in the lock mode. after researching this i found out that this is a common issue in the 2009-2010 z models. the same issue found in nissan gt-r models, the steering wheel lock malfunctions and is therefore enable to recognize the intelligent key due to the steering column being locked. nissan should definitely take responsibility for the faulty equipment as this leaves cars and owners stranded. for a relatively new car this should not be happening esp. under 36,000 miles. the majority of the complaints have not even surpassed the powertrain warranty. the government should show concern for consumers as well as nissan! *tr | |||

| Car was parked at a local coffee shop. suddenly the steering lock, part of the starting system went haywire and disabled the car completely. now the car can't be turned on even though the key is in the car and the battery is full. i believe nhtsa needs to be made aware of this issue as it is a safety concern since every 370z is at risk of this problem, leaving all potential owners stranded. i believe nissan is aware of this problem as the nissan gt-r had a campaign to replace the very same part. it is called a steering lock. *tr | |||
