I purchased a 2010 Nissan 370Z new in early 2011. Recently it began making a significant "clunk" sound from the rear of the vehicle when the brakes were applied during low speeds (such as backing up).

I took the vehicle to the dealership to have them fix the issue. They had the car for 2 1/2 weeks. During that time, they replaced several parts, including rear axle shafts and rear differential. The sound did not change.

Eventually they determined that this sound is a "normal characteristic" of this model and year and returned the car to me.

To other owners of 2010 Nissan 370Zs: Do you hear this same sound from the rear of your car? Is this in fact a characteristic of this model/year?

I posted a video of it on youtube: Nissan370z - YouTube

The clunk is actually much louder in person than it appears to be on the video.
