Hi Peeps, First time Nissan owner and not sure if its me being picky or genuine problems.

if you have this model and year could you tell me if the info I have is correct.

When you press the start button you hear a squealing from the front right wheel this noise gets louder if you have driven it and last for about a minute

Gearbox very sloppy you can pull in out of gear with no effort

Car feels unsafe over 70 mph general shaking inside the cockpit

Back tailgate you have to hold the button to open the tailgate

Only had the car for 10 days that I got from Holdcroft Nissan Crewe, I've taken it back but being told its common on the Qashqai so they havnt done anything to rectify

Squeal is more of a gentle hum. Although it sounds like it's infront of you it's actually behind under the rear seats. It's the fuel pump priming the system.
Gearbox can be a little notch going into first but no other issues.
No problem over 70 at all.
Tailgate operation is normal, that's the way it is.

Do your wheels need balancing??

Unsafe at 70mph then there's something wrong, the QQ has a very comfortable ride at 70.
