I actually live in US, NYC.

Hmmmm... I do not have time for picketing, but still I could use $600

In fact it looks like it is Nissan's issue.

I'm going to call their customer service on Monday (tried today but they
are closed).

The part numbers for the sensors are the same.

Get used to it bud, things break on cars. that's just the way it is.

Right,

But when this happens with all the cars, the manufacturer should recall
and prevent bad things from happening.
