One day you start your L33 Altima or R52 Pathy and find yourself stuck in Park. You get a screwdriver and use the mechanical release, and for days or weeks it's fine again. Then it does it a second time. The problem grows more frequent as time goes on...

Here's the fix: https://www.nicoclub.com/archives/help- ... e-fix.html

Yep. You can add the Nv200 (Nissan's mini minivan) to that list. I work part time for a truck dealership that has an NV200 as a company car. Same problem happened at around 40,000 miles, I ended up using a slotted screwdriver thru that small circular access point to nudge it out of park for a couple days until the shop had a chance to fix it. Can be very annoying.

We see the same issue on virtually the whole Nissan line, although most frequently on the L33 and R52. I should point out that the switch and the repair is similar for virtually all models. The location and type of actuator will differ, but they all use a molded, detachable switch carrier with the same type switch.

Can you remove the system entirely?

Yes, but you can't just disable the switch. You either have to disable it mecahanically by wedging or removing the lever, or electrically by jumping the switch and connecting the solenoid to keyed power instead of battery.
