i dont think thats the hatch rattling . . . its the suspension . . what suspension are you running . . ? ? ? the sound appears to come from the hatch . . but its not . . try driving on small bumps slowly . . . . . is it similar to this ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZIIaYBKUD0

 

just passed 90k on my '07... no major issues, but plotting what to do next. can't decide between a 135i/335i or a 370z/g37/5.0, orrrr maybe waiting to see what happens with the ft-86...

 

maybe your spare tire or jack is loose?

 

I'm running a completely stock suspension and get this noise too in the morning.

2008 23,000 miles, nothing major besides that rattle.

 

well that vid was taken with all the stuff in the back removed, spare, tools, jack, even hatch struts

 

07 Touring with 44,000 miles.

CAT failure - replaced both CATs
Interior scratches easily, especially on door pull.
Paint easy to chip. Front bumper peppered with chips

Still love driving it.

 

2008 45k

Pinched transmission fluid tube -fixed
Have a weird noise coming from passenger door
Window motor starting to slow down
Interior scratches

Considering trading for 370z...a few pre-owned available.

 

Do any of you guys have this problem? My hatch squeaks around like crazy. It's quite annoying. It's not a plastic panel or anything but the actual hatch or the rubber sealing or something. It just squeaks around whenever I go over bumps, etc. The guy at Nissan said I should lube up the rubber, but I'm skeptical and don't know exactly what to "lube it up" with..

 

its not the hatch . . . its the suspension (struts/shocks) . . . does it get worse with cold weather ?

 

Hmm hard to say but I wanna say yes? What causes/caused that? I'm running OEM shocks with Eibach Sportline springs.

BTW it doesn't sound like anything in that video..

I'm pretty sure it's definitely my hatch. I'm going to try to get to the bottom of it eventually and I'll let you guys know..

 

well if the cluck- rattle goes up and down with outside temperature, you MAY have this issue

and they havent fully found the issue yet . . if its just a hatch issue then there a good chance that itll get fixed . . (most of those are easy fixes)

 

Thanks a bunch for the link man. I'm going to just get in the hatch and have a buddy drive around.. hopefully that will help me narrow it down LOL.

 

bump for the HR mileage thread!! 60k on my 07

 

Just broke 40k on my 07. No Problems yet. Do have the hatch/ rear suspension rattle though.

 

08 350 touring just hit 41k, 4k on GTM SC, scratches on inside door handle .runs perfect!

 

67k on my 07...25 miles to work each way kills me -_-

 

07 Nismo 33k no probs so far /cross fingers

 

I've had my base 08 since Nov 2008, and currently have 54666 on the odometer. Only problem thus far was replacing window motors that were starting to have problems at around the 36K mark. Window motors were replaced under warranty at the time.

 

got the car with 36k 4 months ago and now at 39k

previous owner had the slave cylinder replaced.. i'm stuck with the bouncy tech.. anyone know how to fix it? (since my warranty is out)

 

66k on my 07. Just bought a DD so this will go down to about 5k every 6 months. No probs at all just my front bumper has a lot of chips from highway driving.
