Then tell them that there are many, many reports of the locks failing and that you want them to replace the lock asap. This is assuming that you are still under warranty. They would not be able to duplicate the problem but if you raised hell, I'll bet they would replace it. If enough of us do that, Nissan might issue a TSB.
What do you guys think of that strategy ? I'm sure going to be pissed if mine fails. It's an 09 with about 23K miles.

I think that's going to be very hit or miss, but might be worth a shot. The problem is, I'm pretty sure before providing any sort of warranty service, they need to actually reproduce the problem. Or at least, they are supposed to (they will probably lie and say they did, or get special approval from corporate).
