I've had my murano for only 2 days past 3 weeks and the rear hatch has just started to not open (I have to push on the drivers side, and lift up to open it).

I went to the $tealership today and they said they "fixed" it (if by fixing it they mean not-fixing it they that's exactly what they did) they said they adjusted the latch and it's okay now, well it was okay for about half a day and it started acting up again...

I'm gussing the latch will have to be replaced... anyone experience anything like this...?

when you open it, see if there are any cracks at the hinge mounts up top or if the hinges appear loose. I know its not your resposability but it sounds like your at one of THOSE dealers. The latch adjustment should have fixed it if it worked better after. Since it did work better for awhile but the problem has returned it sounds like something is moving ie the hatch mounts.

I called and they said they need to adjust the weather stripping, and maybe the latch again... I tried moving the latch and it feels secure it doesn't move. When I push the release it just makes a noise like it's trying to release...
