You can't get on Nissan's case, because GM did the exact same thing with the Corvette when it was added. You use it, say good bye to your warranty.
Thats why the 2009 GT-R had it, and then it was removed for 2010 and 2011.
2012 is the first model to have it placed back in. They now warranty its use and it now has idiot control to prevent the owner from using LC over and over and over to the point it heats up. If the transmission hits a certain temperature, it will lock out LC and R-mode until the car is driven 1.5miles to allow the transmission to cool off, at which time LC can be turned back on.

Odd considering the GM videos showing a big group of owners how to use it and explaining the benefits of it. I call B.S.
Also odd that an engineering marvel would break so easily due to a feature it was designed to use. Sounds like they used some marvelous engineering to limit the use of its marvelous system so the marvel wouldn't be harmed by people driving it. Lol
