you can contact the manufacturer
You may have more results if you contact the manufacturer or sell tradein your vehicle at another dealership.
If you bought the vehicle new you may have more results from the manufacturer. If you purchased the vehicle used you still may be able to get results, it just may take more effort.
Have you check for TSBs or recalls on your vehicle? If you bought the vehicle used did you check the vehicle's vin against a national database to see if your problems are originally another person's problem. If these are another person's problem why wasn't it fixed then? If you purchased your nissan new check to see if the vehicle was damaged when it was delivered to the dealership. Does the dealership have any complaints against them? In California, we have the BAR (bureau of automotive repair) to help consumers. If you have an equal in your state you might see what they can do. You never mention whether you have taken your vehicle elsewhere to get another opinion on the throwout bearing. The diagnosis is usually free at transmission shops.
You don't mention how far out of warranty you are. If it is slightly over the mileage warranty the factory may consider helping you. You might want to see if you can talk to the factory rep.
The pilot bearing diagnosis is not always a sound that you hear, it can be from the feel of the pedal and/or gearshift. The bent tab can be remedied by a meeting with the shop manager. The squeak can be like you said a drop of oil at the pivot point of the clutch pedal. Depending on how many miles you have on your vehicle the pilot bearing may work for another 1 mile to 100000 miles.
