That's good information langjie.
 
I picked up my hybrid this afternoon and asked about the key problem. Dealer said it's been fixed by now, and yes, I checked as per your instructions and I do have the new keyfob.
 
The car is awesome by the way...sonoma red, blond leather with tech package.
 
Thanx,

That's excellent info. Oddly enough, we'd just sent an email to our dealership, asking when the fobs would be in (they told us, when we bought the car in August, that the fobs would be replaced "sometime in the fall"). I just checked my fob, and it has two concentric circles, so we're probably good to go. We were kind of looking forward to having 4 fobs (I can lose my keys in the blink of an eye), but this will work. Just have to put my fob on one of those things the school janitors wear, with the retractable chain on it....

Guys,
 
Picked up my 2008 Altima Hybrid couple weeks ago, and just the other day I was making a sharp turn and heard something rolling from inside the dashboard from one side to the other. I though it was maybe a pen in the glove compartment at first. Made another sharp turn later and the sound was back. Nothing in the glove compartment this time. It's sounds like a loose screw is rolling from inside the dashboard, door to door, whenever a sharp turn is made. I hope it's a left over screw from a factory and nothing is loose.
 
I have no clue how to get it out. Probably the whole dashboard has to be ripped out - might not be worth the efforts and risking something else getting broken.
I'll ask service technicians on first oil change.
 
Love the car but, how can you leave loose parts behind?
 
Any thoughts?

I got a notice from Nissan saying that I could replace the fobs (received it a month or two ago, but just getting around to replacing it, scheduled for tomorrow morning ). To save me the time of retyping what was in it, I've scanned it--see links below. The scan cut off some of the text, but not too much that you can't get an idea of what it said. I also scanned part of the outside so you get an idea of what the mailing looks like (no envelope).

The one important thing to note is that you won't end up with 4 fobs, as they'll take the 2 original fobs away once they reprogram the new ones.
