Downtime (how long without car)? Was fixed in about an hour at Smith Nissan.

Figured i'd chime in and let you guys know I had to tow the car today (March 2015). I guess it was my lucky day - I was less than a mile from the dealership when my lock broke, then it was repaired under warranty in less than an hour.

Nissan wanted $1,221,00 for the fix. I laughed and left. I created a case, Nissan refused to pay for it. Time to pull the fuse out!
