Nissan I-KeysReuters reports that there’s a problem with Nissan’s intelligent car keys. According to Japanese automaker, the outgoing or incoming calls have the potential to alter the electronic code inside the I-Key. Naturally, Nissan is urging its customers to get new fixed keys from the local dealers. In the meantime, it is suggested that they put their cell phones and I-Keys at least an inch apart to avoid any problems.

Fortunately, this problem has occurred only in a “very small percentage” of models, but includes such vehicles as top selling Nissan Altima and Infiniti G35 sedans. What? The G35 has a problem. Please say it’s not true… :)
