I will let you know. I heard of this guy taking out a nasty door dent on a 370 and it was like 100 bucks.

They also confirmed that the mechanism is Rev D.

That's good that you don't have to wait much more,my Nissan guy hooked me up I will have my "D" lock tomorrow.

I know people.

I just got mine back. The invoice says revD. I am going to look to make sure. It took a week from when I brought it in.

we certainly can learn from her experience

Baer383 · 02-02-2012, 09:22 PM

I'm still amazed that it takes up to 30+ days with these cars sitting at dealers waiting on parts when I called my Nissan guy and I got my "D" lock in 2 DAYS,and my car isn't broken I think some of these dealers aren't following proper procedure which may me causing unnecessary delay in getting your cars back.

I got a call this morning from my Nissan dealer telling me the part has arrived. I am waiting until Monday to take her in for the repair because Mondays are when the paintless dent guy is in and I am getting that annoying little dimple in my roof removed at the same time.

They also confirmed that the mechanism is Rev D.

They are one week ahead of schedule also.

Replaced it with version d.

Z is still under warranty but because it broke in my garage I fixed it myself since I didn't have to tow the car and risk having someone break my lip or scratch my z.

Rev A replaced with Rev D, but STILL at dealership with "P-Shift Light" issue.

6 year, 75,000 warranty.

Power Nissan from last Tuesday till Friday (where steering wheel lock was replaced, at least it starts now...) Still had problems so it was driven to Universal City Nissan (where it was purchased) Monday of this week, where it is till current. (And Universal is saying Power Nissan's work wasn't done right...)
