I'm coming up on 36k miles and need to get mine replaced. Hopefully the dealership doesn't give me an issue with it... driving with the radio off is just about impossible because it's so annoying.

I took my car in last week to get this looked into. I told them it was a high-pitched whining noise similar to a dog whistle, that this is a known issue on the '09 model (I guess some '10s as well), it is coming from the passenger area, and to talk with a Nissan Rep if they are unsure.

The guy said this was really odd and that he had never heard of this before, but would look into it. When he called me back, he said at first they could not find the noise, but eventually one of the employees was able to hear the noise and confirm it was coming from the ECM and that the parts were ordered to replace it.

I was expecting a much harder fight to get the issue addressed, but I think if you let them know that they should get with a Nissan Rep you will be in good positioning even if they cannot hear the noise.

I would suggest not letting this noise linger much at all. It gets seriously painful if left unaddressed.
