So, 6 days after bringing it in, and one day after a call to corporate, I get my car back.

I'm at the dealer now... Car is stranded. Trying to figure this out with Toyota.

Seems odd. Only took me 1.5 hours to complete the whole job. techstream has everything you will need to complete the network link once you have it installed.

I think there might be faulty gateway ECU's floating around. At least that's what it was for me (allegedly).

Hawaiian, why can't they put back the old ECU so you can use the car while waiting for another ECU to arrive?

I was told by my dealer that they can't disable these features and when I brought up the whole thing about three tsb I was told my car doesn't have it

This confuses me so much, I work in the parts dept at a Nissan dealer and don't know why service depts don't want to do TSB's on cars in warranty. Its easy money we get paid from the manufacturer and I just don't get why they don't want to warranty stuff, obviously everything isn't covered but if its a TSB just do it, get paid and everybodys happy.

I see what you did there.

ft86Fan · 09-01-2012, 10:48 AM

Neither Dell nor Gateway manufacture ECUs though

After 3 days of back and forth, I got my car back with the original ECU in it. The District Service Manager is on the case. I will hear back when there is some resolution, I guess.
