Gday guys,

Just had my 08 model into Nissan to have the rear main done. Since getting the car back we have not been able to turn the key back to the lock position hence we can't get the key out of the barrel. It will only turn back as far as accessories.

I believe it is a problem with the selector on the gearbox. It is going back to Nissan today but was just wondering if any of you guys have had this happen before and can you advise me of anything to try in the meantime.

Cheers Rick

I wouldnt try anything, Obviously theres a problem with it, so let nissan fix it.

If you manage to pull it out and then it all works good, then nissan wont do anything.

Autos have a lock mechanisim if its not in park
Id say theres maybe a plug left disconnected

The same things happened with my wife's Maxima a while back and it was a battery issue, coupled to the security system. It was intermittent a couple of times and then, fortunately, it happened when the car was in for a service and Nissan pinpointed the problem. Hasn't happened since.

Cheers
