Qashqai Model: Mk.2 Qashqai Facelift - J11b (2017–2021)

Post by Scaleybrat »

I’m currently out of the country. This morning I woke up to this message from my wife “This fell on my foot this morning - I hope it’s not important!
It’s dropped into the drivers footwell and judging by the rubber mat in the background I think it’s about 50mm in length but that’s a guess. I’m hoping it was never attached and has just worked loose and dropped to the floor.
Anybody able to help me please, what should it be bolted to?
Thanks

I would tell the wife to call or get down to a Nissan Dealer or better still the RAC / AA etc and get it checked out under Guarantee ASAP, could be a Safety Problem so warn her. I thought this could be the problem and found this on the Web :

Now hopefully this is a new part left laying around as it looks unused but Nissan is the place to go or ask - hope this helps Dave ;)

Better let your wife drive by the dealership or garage..
Or better road service and not drive.

But the bolt does not look like it has marks on it like when you use a wrench. So hopefully it was laying around only

Thanks - I think that is the correct part you have identified. I agree also it needs Nissan to take a look at it but she has driven 40 miles this morning with it in this condition. The lack of witness marks makes me think (hope) its never been attached but she needs to get it checked immediately.
Thanks again

If the wife is at work it might be worth a call to the RAC etc as she will lose no time waiting if it is locally parked - Dave :)

It’s a wheel stud is it not?

Told her to call Nissan Roadside Assistance - car is covered so she should use it.

Good Decision, it is better to be Safe than Sorry and it costs nothing but gives you peace of mind - Dave 🤗

Nissan dealer checked it out. They found that the bolts are located correctly so can only deduce this was a loose article that has eventually fallen from its nest after 18 months of ownership.
