Something you have to understand is that dealerships don't like to warranty things because the manufacture only pays a portion of the actual labor that's involved in replacing the faulty item. Example, to completely pull a dash and replace could take 5-6 hours. Well Nissan may only compensate that dealership 3.5-4 hours, where the ACTUAL time did take 5-6. The dealership has to eat that extra time involved which is why they're a lot less likely to budge on major issues than petty ones, like a faulty gas cap.

Dealerships love when people are out of warranty because they charge full actual labor rate for jobs. Unless you REALLY know someone in the industry, it's very hard to get anywhere when it comes to major issues like these.
