My biggest complaint on the car is the notchy 2nd gear. So damn notchy. Getting used to it but still!

I've had my car 1 week to the day it now has just shy of 800 miles and the car is great. I have 2 minor issues that need to be addressed. The rear view mirror rattles and there's another rattle coming from the left rear side over the driver seat that I can't locate, oh have warrenty that's their job.

I've had mine about a month and 800 miles are on her. I have a few problems:

1) My hatch won't release unless I push and hold the release button on the car and lift it. If I use my keyfob, it doesn't work. If I hit the button and let go, I can't raise the hatch. It's a pain because you have to use both hands.

2) When shifting the Auto tranny between Park and Drive or Reverse, the car jumps a bit. Perhaps I need the motor mounts replaced. I would expect a car like the Z to be more refined. I don't feel the same thing on my 2003 Xterra. Anyone notice the same thing with the Automatic?

3) Brake dust, but I thought that was because I brake hard a lot.

4) My gas door sticks sometimes.

Your issues seem new to me. I just found out that if you have the 2004.5 instead of the 2004 that supposedly the tire feathering issue doesn't apply to you. I am fortunate to be in the 4.5 portion of course now I just have to wait and see if that is in fact the case.

My gas door only stuck the first time I tried to open it and since then has been fine. The mirror is really bugging me. I notice every little rattle. Have been that way since I purchase my 02 IS300 which had a lot of rattles great car though, I miss it now, but don't regret the trade.
