re: Cars you've had problems with that had a manufacturer issue.

Nissan 350/370 Z and Infinity G cars with push button start. The module that unlocks the steering wheel can (and probably will eventually) fail. When it does, you are stuck. The car will not start. You have to tow it to the dealer who will have to replace the module and program it to the car.

If the little key light comes on.. you better get it replaced before you are left somewhere.
