On the center console (Navigation screen/control knob area) there is black plastic inlay that is supposed to sit flush with the console. At the bottom of the inlay it is kind of "bowed out" a bit and is a little loose. A lot of times, usually on the freeway, when I go over I get a tick/crack/creak sound. It is very hard to determine where it was coming from but I'm almost sure it is that. I initially thought that it was coming from the silver bezel where the shift knob was. The mechanic at Nissan put felt under the bezel where the shift knob is and it hasn't gone away, which is why I'm assuming its the plastic around the bose navigation and console buttons. Over the harsh bumps in the road it also sounds like I get those cracking sounds coming from the glove box.

Steering wheel plastic on the left side of steering wheel became loose and when turning the wheel I hear a creaking sound. Very annoying.

Started hearing a slight buzzing sound at low speeds in cold weather coming from the right side of the glove box....not too big of deal.

I had the back of the headliner fixed because on certain bass notes from the stock subs on the back deck I would get a buzzing sound.

Anyone else experience these?

The cracking when going over the bumps and steering wheel problem are the most annoying!!!

Strange? My Alti is totally quiet except the leather creaking a little over some roads.

Can't the dealer take care of the loose part of the steering wheel? Might be covered under the Basic Warranty. Also I found that sometimes when you think you hear a noise from your glovebox or dash, check to make sure it isn't the sunglass holder in the roof or the sunroof shade. Might not seem like it but it can be hard to distinguish sometimes because its so close to your head but doesn't sound like it. Just a thought...

Yes, I've heard a creeking sound when I go over speed bumps sometimes...it seems like its at a certain speed and typically heard less when im going a bit faster. I don't think its anything serious but would like to know if I can fix it.
