According to my neighbor, its not super high, but again, the real problem is that the exact same key in being introduced across the entire Nissan line.

So they need to find a fix ASAP otherwise they will be replacing hundreds of thousands of keys instead of a couple thousand.

 

Just got mine today. Has anyone else in Canada got their letters yet?

 

Yep, just got mine today as well Mark. It just stated not to have your intelligent key near your cell phone, that Infiniti is coming out with a modified intelligent key, and that they'll contact me when it's available. I assume it's the same letter you got eh?

 

Yes, I got that same letter. I have no problems so far (almost never leave my key next to my phone anyway).

By the way, just cracked 8000km yesterday...wow, that took me 7 months!

 

Yeah, I haven't any issues either Mark. 6 months for me and I've got about 5800 KMs on mine. I've got two road trips planned for July so that will put some good mileage on it.

 

#1. If you expect a quicker fix than 3-4 months, I suggest you work on the fix yourself. The amount of time and money spent on R&D to remedy an issue like this is not something that will happen overnight...especially with it affecting ALL vehicles equipped with the intelligent key.

Are you stacking your cell phone and intelligent key? If not, then don't get your panties in a bunch. The fact remains that Infiniti is aware of the severity of the situation and they're doing something to fix it.


#2. Sure, there's a little loss in exclusivity with the intelligent key being available with the Nissan model line. Who cares? It's a handy/nifty feature to have regardless of whether your car is a $15k Versa or a $60k M45 Sport. If you're griping about this, maybe you should have bought something else.

#3. 0 engineers are going to get fired over this one. Why? Because mistakes happen. It's the cost of doing business. Toyota makes mistakes all the time...the latest of which is the camshaft failures in the Tundra. Who's getting fired over that one? They've overtaken GM even with all of these mishaps.

#4. Keyless entry can be just a remote. You want a "keyless entry to work right?" Go buy a GM.
