The contact owns a 2009 Nissan 370Z. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the steering wheel locked up, and the contact was unable to start the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the residence, where a mobile mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with steering module failure. The contact called the dealer to schedule an appointment, and the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under Nissan Voluntary Service Campaign Number: P3208; free of charge, because the vehicle had already been previously repaired under the Voluntary Service Campaign. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact the vehicle history did not display the completion of Nissan Voluntary Service Campaign Number: P3208, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 176,000.

Seatbelts won’t retract easily from both driver and passenger side.

My vehicle has only 12,400 miles, and the passenger air bag light will not go off and the airbag light in the dash keeps blinking. Millions of Nissan vehicles have had the same problem. I want my Nissan dealership, where I purchased this vehicle ( M’Lady in Crystal Lake, IL ), to fix this at no cost to me.
- Fuel/propulsion system
Vehicle fuel gauge said 1/4 of a tank as I was driving the car suddenly shut off on a busy road making it very dangerous. I had the car towed home and as I was trying to diagnose the problem I added gas to the tank and the car started. Obviously the problem IS the fuel sending unit.
- Structure
The dashboard in the car IS greying and sticky (same as 2008-09 altimas, 2011 maximas, toyotas, etx) and can create a glare on the windshield from the sun reflecting off of the glue. This IS a manufacturing defect. *tr

I purchased my first nissan, a 2009 370Z, in 2018. I went to start my car and it would not start, after reading various forums on the internet I found the issue with the 370Z IS well documented to the escl (electronic steering column lock) issue. there IS no warning to this occurring; I drove my car to the store and then home, an hour later went to start to the car and it would not start. the only lead I had was the intelligent key warning light, that when referenced in the owner's manual states this will lock the steering column and prevent the car from starting. This IS usually triggered from an unregistered key but my keys were registered and had worked with the car from the time I bought it. the car has had this module changed out for parts are dated, and the current module IS dated from 2012, after the car was released in 2009. I am not faced with replacing this part to get my 370Z to start, I have to have the car towed to the nissan shop and was told it will be about $1100 to fix. it IS well documented that the escl that nissan uses IS malfunctioning. The internet IS full of stories of people stranded. Nissan claims to have fixed this issue but clearly they have not. currently nissan IS recalling the 2009 altima due to a defective escl and repair them for free. However, if you had bought a 2009 370Z, the same year as the altima, you must pay for the defect. the escl that has to be installed IS part # 48700-9n00b, which IS the sixth (6) part number for the escl.

My vehicle IS equipped with an electronic steering column lock (escl) that locks the steering wheel when the vehicle IS parked and turned off to help prevent theft. On some vehicles, due to a manufacturing irregularity,the escl may malfunction after the vehicle has been locked and could prevent the engine from starting. This condition, should it occur, will only occur when attempting to start the vehicle, which happened with my nissan 370Z yesterday. Thank god I wasn;t stranded in the middle of nowhere. And luckily this did not happen in the middle of an intersection or other busy road. I have read that nissan has already recalled this part for their 2009-10 nissan altima, altima coupe, altima hybrid, and maxima vehicles but have not read about including their 2009-10 nissan 370Z models. Multiple 370Z forums confirm that the 2009-10 370Z models have the same issues as the recalled nissan models. This needs to be corrected. 2009-10 nissan 370Z customers shouldn't have to pay for the new part and labor just like nissan altima, altima coupe, altima hybrid, and maxima customers don't have to.

I purchased my first nissan, a 2009 370Z, in 2009. As of today the car has had four (4) electronic steering column locks (escl) installed. the escl that nissan uses IS defective, which results in leaving their customers stranded. This, in my opinion IS unconscionable. The latest failure of the escl left me stranded out of town. I have no faith that the fourth escl will be any better than the previous three that nissan has installed. it IS well documented that the escl that nissan uses IS malfunctioning. The internet IS full of stories of people stranded in unsafe areas due to this defective part. Nissan claims to have fixed this issue but clearly they have not. My car would have no problems starting, however the escl that nissan have installed will not allow it to start. Nissan will not allow my car to start unless I pay them to install a defective part. So I had to pay them. currently nissan IS recalling the 2009 altima due to a defective escl and repair them for free. However, if you had bought a 2009 370Z, the same year as the altima, you must pay them, again and again and again. This makes no sense. the fourth (4) escl that was installed IS part # 48700-9n00b, which IS the sixth (6) part number for the escl. I can attest to the fact that all previous versions of this part are complete failures. Nissan will tell you that they have now got the part to work. They have been completely wrong on all five previous attempts. it IS time for the nhsta to get involved and declare this a safety issue. Whenever you turn your car off, you never know if it will restart. When you fill your gas tank up, you have to decide if you should turn it off and then block the fuel pump for an hour while waiting on a tow truck, or let it run and risk a fire. I wrote nissan a letter about this issue, waited three (3) months, and they never replied!!

Service campaign bulletin no. Ntb13-014 was issued on 3/7/2013. my car experienced the problem described in the recall notice and the nissan dealer replaced the defective part on 12/2/2013 at no charge. in november, 2017, my car experienced the exact same problem. it was repaired at the same nissan dealer, performing the replacement of the exact same part, on 11/17/2017 at a cost to me of $1,153.40. nissan has refused to cover the replaced (defective) part stating: 1) they complied with the recall campaign by replacing the initial failed part with a second (defective) part, and 2) the second (defective) part was beyond its 12 month warranty. in both cases, the defective part disabled the vehicle from starting, thus creating the need to have it towed to the dealer. because the exact same part failed that was subject to the service recall campaign, creating the necessity for a second replacement, I believe it should have also been subject to the service recall campaign. the replaced part failed at approximately the same interval as the first failed part, both of which was well beyond a 12 month in-service period.

The steering column lock device has been failing daily.i bought this car in march of 2014 and I have all of the paperwork that shows the previous owner took it to autonation nissan chandler and under recall p3208 it was supposedly fixed in 2013. I didn't even own the car til 2014!the ntb13-014 also was on the invoice. It says they replaced the steering wheel lock unit- I have spent over $20K on my z ( not including the price of the car, and I can't even get larry h miller nissan to take care of it. They want $1500. I just don't understand how larry h miller nissan knew about this and new the dates it was 'fixed' at the other dealership, and failed to notify me when I brought it to their attention.i have all my invoices for work done,and a nissan w 44,000 miles has had endless problems -please help. I am disabled, and this IS a huge financial burden for me,i really had a lot of confidence in nissan taking care of their customers - it seems that isn't the case- on june 27 I got into a small accident and it ended up costing geico $14,850.35 - when they brought it back the fuel management system had gotten loose since it's located underneath the passenger side in the gas tank and IS a typical problem with 370 z's and they wanted me to pay for it also the car IS riding a lot lower to the ground than it ever was the black bumper guard at the very bottom IS all scraped up and that never happened before so either the front shocks or struts are lower than before. I love my z and I've put over $40,000 into it and now I can't get people to do what they're supposed to do because they 'don't want to' the people who fix your car's know about all of these consistent problems & they should fix them and it seems like they don't want to fix problems that arise with the same model.i had to have my insurance adjuster call just to get the fuel pump fixed. Nissan wanted me to pay for it

At around the md border, when driving home to nj from tn, the clutch stuck to the floor. I couldn't change out of 6TH gear, so I had to drive from that point without slowing enough to have to change gears or stopping. After I got off at my exit and hit a stop light, I forced it out of 6TH gear before it stalled, then pumped the clutch (pressing it then lifting it back up with my foot) until I was able to get it into 1ST then 3RD gear and I drove it most of the way to cherry hill nissan in 3RD gear. At the light next to the dealership, pumped the clutch until I got it into first gear and could not change gears anymore. I had to drive the car into a parking spot then stall the engine by holding the brakes. The clutch sticking to the floor has happened to me a few times before, normally on long drives, but I was always able to pump the clutch a few times and it would return to normal. This happened at 39574 miles on the odometer. This was the first time I could not get it out of gear while driving. Being stuck in a gear IS pretty scary. The concentric slave cylinder (csc) failure causes this problem. It has even happened on the 350Z and the gt-r. Apparently, this IS a very common problem with these cars. The first complaint on nhtsa was filed on 09/18/2010, and there have been a lot of complaints since then. Someone, please conduct a safety investigation. edit 5/18/2016: I added a scan of my $1400 bill.

- Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant…
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.

- 1023906012 VOLT BATTERY TESTING FOR IN-SERVICE VEHICLES SERVICE INFORMATION The following Service Information lists NNA procedural recommendations for establishing good connections while performing 12V battery testing. These recommendations are expected to promote uniformity during the connection process, therefore reducing the number of incorrect Test with DCA and Replace results. HINT: If 12 volt batteries are allowed to discharge for a prolonged period of time, battery life may be drastically reduced. This condition may lead to premature battery replacement and customer dissatisfaction. IMPORTANT: CPX-900 is now an accepted testing tool to use along with or in place of the DSS-5000 CPX-900 operating instructions are found at: https://nissancpx900.midtronics.com/ DSS-5000 operating instructions are found at: https://nissandss5000.midtronics.com/ DCA-8000 is now a required testing tool to be used for all warranty replacement decisions. The DCA-8000 is also a more efficient charger than previously available, and will charge any available 12 volt lead acid battery safely and accurately as long as all precautions and inputs are made correctly.

NOTE: Do not replace a refrigerant pipe, hose, or other A/C component if an o-ring seal will solve the leak incident, if it should occur. 2. If no damage is found to the joint metal surfaces, replace the O-ring seal. See this bulletin for further detail.
- 10192801SERVICE INFORMATION Because of collision damage or other vehicle repair, a replacement "Certification Label" or "VIN Plate / Label" may be needed. These items may be available from Nissan by request if certain criteria are met. This bulletin lists the criteria and provides an application form for such replacements. See this bulletin for further detail.
- 10192787SERVICE INFORMATION If the clip for the fuel filler cap tether becomes lost or is detached for any reason, it is no longer necessary to replace the fuel filler cap. The clip or "pin" is now available as a separate service part. NOTE - Do not replace the fuel filler cap if only the pin is needed. See this bulletin for further detail.
- 10192761IF YOU CONFIRM: "Brake Judder" during braking, especially when braking at highway speeds. Symptoms of "brake judder": - steering wheel shake - body vibration - brake pedal pulsation IMPORTANT NOTES: If any symptom above occurs when cruising or coasting (not braking), it is not "Brake Judder" and may be tire/wheel related. DO NOT CONFUSE "Brake Judder" with the rapid consistent-speed pedal pulsation that may be felt and only occurs when ABS is activated during hard braking or on slippery road surfaces. ACTION: 1.
