il start mine off... and all of the below, nissan is trying to avoid fixing:

1) clutch clicking 15 times before hitting the bottom...gets louder the longer i drive

2) seat belt is squeeking (when braking the seat belt tightens and then it starts to squeek)

3) Handbrake/Ebrakes making a way LOUDER noise then it should be (the normal clicking became MONSTER CLICKS)

4) Power seat feeling weak (forward and back motion)

5) Braking is starting to squeak pretty damn loud (not sure if its cause theres sand between my disk brake and brake pads)

all of the above are annoying the hell out of me, especially the clutch. The clutch is obviously a defect and my dealership is saying htey will contact nissan and see wat they say (BS)

lets hear it guys!

I only have 3000 miles on mine, but have nothing like that, even when the stereo is turned down enough to hear.

Only thin I have is a clunk after backing out of garage/parking spot and driving forward with the wheel still turned. A few times when the stereo wasn't on, it sounded like a spring...

My seat belts creak when they get tight or when its really cold and the glove box handle rattles a little occasionally. Ohter then that I'm rattle free. The dealer is trying to fix it but I have to replicate it. He said he won't have a problem if only I replicate it

My brakes are loud as hell, but usually just in the early morning before i start driving a while.

my door(driver side) started cracking around 3000mi everytime i would open or close the door. but dealership fixed it, they said a bolt came off.

no its not from there. i dont put my sunglasses in there or anything else for that matter. the noise is definately from the sunroof. if i close the shade it is less noticeable.

Do they squeal? If so this is normal. In the morning the change between cold and hot, night and day, will cause moisture to form on the discs and cause squealing until they heat up.

Here's a new one for ya. I was driving my car tonight and when i hit the brakes something came rattling from the back of the car up toward the front. Couldnt tell exactly where it came from. It was either under the car or in the car. Testing it, I floored the car and the rattling took off toward the back again. Happened the rest of the trip when i hit the brakes or the gas. Anybody else?

Yea i always have to tuck the passenger belt clip under the extender, up top, when i ride with the windows down cause it bangs around so prolifically. Pretty annoying.

I agree with the seat belt issue. it seems like it could be an easy fix for the next model year for nissan to take care of.Among other things, I would like to see sturdier doors and back decks. this way the speaker distortion and vibration wouldnt be such an issue. even with stock the speakers there is way too much vibration and I just put loads of dynamat in, but I think that it wouldnt be too much of a big issue.And last, with my 2.5 cvt, i notice a vibration and noise at about 2500 rpms that goes away at 2700. anyone else? it almost sounds like somethings loose or rubbing against something.

Simple Fix. Go and get a seatbelt button (i juts searched it on google and got it from the first site that came up). Then make sure you install the button above the seat so the clasp cant be stupid and bang between the door and seat.

I get that same vibration almost, but at 1300-1700 RPM. I notice it more when I am driving and stop accelerating, and once the RPMs get low and then i slightly accelerate the car really vibrates. Dealer told me this is "normal operation." I think if it gets any worse I am going to there and test driving one of the cars from the lot.

I get this stupid noise that sounds like someone shaking a maracas coming froom the front driver side dash speaker when I am driving around 70 MPH(less if its a windy day). I am pretty sure its not the speaker and has more do do with the weather stripping or whatever. Dealer told me that he didnt notice it when he was driving the car, when I was sitting in the passenger seat and I could hear it. Then they lied to me and said they would look at it, but they didnt. Ah dealers, cant I just go straight to nissan and not having to deal with those snakes.

I have noticed some noise coming from what seems to be the passenger side dash somewhere, the sunroof and something in the rear near the speakers. It only does it when you go over bumps. Really annoying.
