I believe that there is a TSB for the VR.  Not sure if it will help your specific problem.  It helped me when my VR wouldn't respond correctly to commands.  Dealer service center applied the update on mine.  Good luck.
 
Peace.  
 

Maybe others have heard of this before, but I hadn't. . .  I followed the procedure shown in this video.  So far my windshield has been great in our monsoon rain and the bugs hardly stick.  Cool easy trick to improve vision through the windshield.

Has anyone yet had an oil leak on their 3.6?  I have not.  I really hope that these cars are not plagued by oil leaks.  I'd like to think oil leaks are something we DJ owners will not have to deal with if we take care of our engines.   Just wondering.

Done.  Requested a tune for the DJ.

Not sure what happened here.  Got the wrong car?  IDK.  It doesn't matter if I understand.  Honestly, if you really want a different model and you just got the car, why not just trade it in for the model you want?  I know that's not cost effective, but all the $$, aggravation, and effort to upgrade would suck.  I think in your case a trade may make sense if every day you'll lament driving the one you got.  I love my 3.6 8.4 R/T.  Welcome to the forum.

DJ sat all night. No noise on cold start up. Sounds normal again. I forgot to mention in my last update that all the left side lifters and rocker arms ended up being replaced as the tech initially thought the cold start sound was coming from the lifters. So they opened my engine for the cylinder head replacement and they opened the engine again for the lifter and rocker arm replacement. I just hope all this engine work got the original engineering gremlins out and it doesn't lead to engine problems over time. I hope to keep my DJ for a long time.
Maybe I'll wash my DJ this weekend. Clean cars always run better. . . Ha!
Peace.

Mine did the same thing. It was on for 1.5 days then went off. Still, obviously, failed compression and leakdown testing. Left head needed to be replaced. Mine was almost completely symptomless. Hope you still take it in for diagnostic testing. I think leaving leaking cylinder would be destructive over the long term.

Make sure they do compression testing (both wet and dry) and leakdown testing. Tell them you want the test results. Compression should be at least 140psi wet. I never got a specific number but the Pentastar compression psi is in the 150s when new, I believe. With mine, the lifters were also wearing so they replaced those. Have them look at everything. If they're fine,ok. But as long as they have the engine open have them check as much as they can.

Left cylinder head? Even with the warranty, this cylinder misfire thing is a drag. Plan on 1-2 weeks without the DJ. It would be much worse if you had to pay for the repair, but it still sucks man! Best of luck.
Peace.

Just a few more things. The Altima has no ground clearance at all. It is a car, but it doesn't handle uneven dirt roads well at all. My wife feels it is very noisy inside when driving on the highway compared to my DJ. Gotta give it the nod on mpg though. . . 36 mpg overall so far. 95% highway.

Have a 2016 Nissan Altima rental this week. Not nearly as nice to drive as my 2011 DJ.
Likes: Engine has plenty of power, transmission shifts super smooth, base comes with backup cam,great fuel efficiency.
Dislikes: Steering wheel is too small, interior controls are wonky, seats are a strange material, no lumbar adjustment, backup cam screen is small.
Overall the Altima is not as fun to drive as my DJ. Lots of interior noise and twitchy steering. Small steering wheel makes that worse. Engine and transmission seem good but I'm afraid to use all of the power. Maybe that would get better with time. I miss the cargo space of my DJ this week.
Anyway, good car, but I prefer my 5 year old DJ overall.
Peace.
