[quote="duncho"]Some cars rattle the others don't. Those rattling are therefore discussed about here and therefore we try to help those owners to fix it. We shouldn't keep saying mine doesn't and yours also can't rattle.Dealers are not always patient to find it out and if you are still bringing in with the same rattle they could not fix, they get annoyed by your complaints and then they usually do more harm then fix. That's my personal experience, therefore I feel for those that are complaining and are mad because of that. I was as well [/QUOTE]
I'm not saying that no other cars rattle but if you take some posts here at face value you would think that the whole car is like a bag of bolts on a vibrating floor.Dealers are often an issue, but to be fair they just can't repair stuff that they can't hear. There is also the problem that some rattles and zizzes are very difficult to isolate, locate and rectify and the dealer probably doesn't get paid by Nissan for the time to do so. I've never found a dealer or mechanic with much patience for this kind of thing. The air box or trunking rattle is easy to solve because it is just there, in their face. No excuse for that one. I had it on the Juke and I just used a long cable-tie, which I happened to have, to tension it against something [can't remember what"]. If I can do it, a dealer should certainly be able to.
