Just wanted to chime in...
For the trunk issue, I brought mine (and the TSB of the issue) to Timonium Nissan (Nationwide Nissan). They 'fixed' it by putting in new arm things (the word escapes me) and it did fix the problem. I didn't complain that that wasn't the fix outlined in the TSB as the problem went away. Well, 1yr later it is back.
As for the Mod-friendly, figured I would chime in also. I used to drive a toyota w/ intake, exhaust, headers, 50shot. Pre-50shot the pin came out of my differential. I put everything back to stock, and had it towed to toyota. They replaced the trans (FWD) under warranty and said I had been 'hot rodding' the car, as the exhaust header bolts weren't rusted on as they should be. Then they said never come back. Later on I worked for several different toyota dealerships doing various things from parking cars to oil changes. I had my acc belt replaced w/o taking off my mods at the shop I worked at. Next time I tried to get service done, i was told my car was black listed from toyota, and they wouldn't touch it even to do an oil change. I went to 3 other local dealerships and they all said the same thing.
When I brought the nissan in to timonium for the TSB the service manager questioned me (all friendly, like i wasn't aware of what he was doing) about racing the car, doing mods, and 'being on the message boards, doing stuff'. This is also the dealership that gives 'free oil changes' as long as you pay 200$ to get a 50 point inspection... or just pay 180 for an oil change. I have not been pleased by them, let alone the fact they give you a POS kia as a loaner.
