I had to replace condensor and radiator. (Not the engine.) and car has been running great since then. Do you guys think misfire is cause of the accident?? and really think it won't be cover under warranty?? I was really pissed off that i heard that from dealer. I don't know what to do... should I call nissan canada if they say it can not be covered under warranty???

Replacing the ECU seems a bit drastic, did they discover any other evidence to indicate that the ECU was misbehaving? Also I doubt that the ECU could have been damaged in the kind of relatively minor accident you are describing. I've seen working ECU's come out of total wrecks, they are pretty durable.
I love how quick the dealers are to pull the "your warranty is void" card. In order for them to actually do that they would have to establish some kind of correlation that there was unrepaired or hidden damage. For an accident that was a year ago that is going to be a pretty tough sell.
