Engine power cuts out randomly. error code p0011 given. all mechanical components associated with code p0011 per nissan have been replaced. problem still persists. apparently, this is not an uncommon problem with the early 2009 370z. to date, nissan has not issued a recall for this problem.
I was routinely driving to work on a friday. i stopped to get gas. the car wouldn't start once i was done and a yellow/amber intelligent key light was on. i get a tow to the nearby nissan dealership and they told me it's a steering wheel lock. they said it's happening on quite a few cars and that an altima and another 370z have been having the same issue and are waiting for the same part. i'm still waiting on the part and it happened over a month ago. this faulty part from the factory has been going out routinely for everyone who owns a 09-10 370z, altimas and other nissan vehicles that use the same steering wheel lock technology. it's absolutely enraging that nissan is releasing these parts (knowing they're bad as they've made revisions on the newer 370z) and forcing customers to pay for this out of pocket and wait a month to get the part. check this forum for further confirmation: http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-warranty-scheduled-maintenance-servicing-repairs/12294-intelligent-key-system-warning-light.html. *tr
