steering squeak when its cold
Yes we have this problem, only happens in the colder months, so not currently squeaking. I took it to Nissan early last year and they told me there wasn't anything wrong with it. I am also adding it to my list of issues/annoyances the car has that Nissan say aren't a problem!

This subject keeps getting longer and I do not want to be boring, but our Dealer changed this "Seat Rubber Front Spring" and the noise has never returned and it is a little colder here in the winter than in the U.K. for instance. I believe this was internal information on a part modification through the Dealers, why not just take a copy of my sketch and just ask your Dealer - only trying to help Dave

Does anyone have a copy of the service bulletin that outlines this fix, or know its number, please? My dealer is "unable to find any reference to it".

Houndie, I am a bit surprised your Dealer cannot find this item, I never saw a Service Bulletin I just asked the Store Guy to give me the facts. The No. is #54034-4AE1A which was installed on our QQ and still no noises. Again guaranteed there is no Service Bulletin or Recall action it is most probably down to know how / knowledge of the Service Technicians.
I have attached my previous diagram and would suggest taking a copy and approach you Dealer - I hope this helps Dave

Thanks guys, I already knew the part number etc and showed them Dave's diagram and a list of the parts that would need replacing, but they said that as they couldn't replicate the problem (being cold or wet) they couldn't do anything (I wanted to get it done before colder weather sets in). They claimed to be unable to find a technical bulletin, but that's dealers for you, especially this one.
However a certain learned gentleman from Eastern Europe has e-mailed me with the info I need (there IS in fact a tech bulletin about this problem), so many thanks to him - happy days.

Hi Hound, any chance you still have this tech bulletin laying around and could possibly email this to me? I want to take my car to my dealer today as my warranty runs out in April and would like to get it sorted ASAP.Hound wrote: ↑Sun Jul 23, 2017 10:29 am Thanks guys, I already knew the part number etc and showed them Dave's diagram and a list of the parts that would need replacing, but they said that as they couldn't replicate the problem (being cold or wet) they couldn't do anything (I wanted to get it done before colder weather sets in).

Mine is making the grinding noise. It appears more when it has been raining. I went for a drive and parked it in a multi storey car park so it was nice and dry. Got back in and it was fine. Left it out in the rain again and the noise returned.
