10 year/150K warranty. I would pursue another dealer as well.

SoCal has a lot of "module replacement" options for Prius for like $200-250 - can get you/keep you on the road. I would assume something similar is available for Camry/Altima.

I did research this "battery replacement option" a year back just to see what I may be facing if out of warranty..you said it right, module replacement is mainly for Prius- the Nissan Altima hybrid is truly the black sheep of the hybrid family. I'll ofcourse dig deeper now and see if anythings changed but truth is hardly anyone knows how to fix them, and few to be found on the roads, few made, and even fewer garages have the scan III tool anyway - atleast in my neck of the woods, I truly regret spending 7K on this car, worst decision ive made in years, drove it no more than 2 years and already plunked 3K atleast on it.
One lives and learn I suppose. I bought it to do Uber on the side..but repairs kept me from pursuing it further - and here we are today.
Yea, one lives and learns.

I have had an Altima pack apart. It is absolutely, positively, 99.9% the same as a Camry. If someone can do a Camry, they can do an Altima. There are some very slight case bottom changes, and I'm pretty sure the computers are different.

An Altima Hybrid IS a Camry. Nissan licensed the whole thing from Toyota.

No worries. I have bad sleep habits. I'm a night owl, who tends to wake up early.

GM's Hybrid Supplement to the Owners Manual suggests it, too.

i guess in my case, its the worst thing I could have done apparently - I wonder if the result would've been any different if I left the **** thing connected..

No. It's the 4 months of sitting. Had you not disconnected the 12V too, you would have had to replace that first before you found any other issues.

Any chance to go to O'Reilly?
