2010 Infiniti EX35: problems, recalls and reliability

“I started my vehicle this morning and a yellow light with a key came on for the first time, I thought is was the key battery so I paid no attention, got to my destination and turned the car off, a few minutes later got back into the car to head home and it won't start. I was stuck there for five hours trying to get it started with help from a locksmith and my mechanic, finally found the issue on google was a faulty steering wheel lock unit which 37 other people had problems with and was charged $900 and up to fix by the dealers they know of this issue but won't recall it. My mechanic moved the steering up and down with the lock release and finally got it started.”Owner report · Steering · Jan 2016

“On friday 7-august-2015 my wife's 2010 ex35 did not crancked. Vehicle got towed to infiniti service department. Diagnostic was ran and the faulty part is the steering wheel lock unit. A former infiniti mechanic told me that nissan altima's use the same part and got recalled on those vehicles. He also states that with just moving the telescoping the steering wheel in and out the problem goes away. He was right and now the vehicle starts. However service department states that the vehicle could lock the steering wheel while driving. They want $1,100 to fix the problem. My take is that this is a safety issue and should be threated as the same situation as the altima.”Owner report · Electrical System · Aug 2015
