Yeah! I somehow missed this thread. I've got the same thing and already took it to the dealership once. They tightened the hatch and the issue still occured. Thanks for the heads-up :tup:

It's a brand new car there shouldn't be a problem opening your hatch it's not the end of the world the dealer will have to look at it and see what they can do. hopefully it's not going to cost me will update.

Hey kdo, did you have your springs replaced already? I know I should have read the whole thread but if you did was it a local dealer in or around Austin? I'm having some difficulty with Round Rock Nissan and Soutpoint was a hassle this past week. I'm runnin out of dealers here in Austin!!

all i can say is WoW!!!:eek:

the trunk lid pops up like a gyser :bowrofl:

good stuff...i think i will not have to worry about this issue anymore :tup:

:tiphat: my hats off to the service manager at Bates Nissan!!! he was awesome and I will be letting Nissan HQ know when they follow up with me :D
He got them replaced, and it looks like it was at Bates Nissan. I'd recommend going to my galleries and printing out my service invoice. It seems to have helped some people get this pushed through.

your best bet is to call nissan hq 1-800-647-7261 or 1-866-799-1690 and do a file of concern...hq got the ball rollin for me and the rest was smooth sailing...

i have never had this problem i walk up to the car all the time and i dont unlock it i just hold the release for a second and it always opens no problem. i hope it stays that way

vipor 10-27-2009 08:18 AM
The problem may "disappear" on newer Zs as the part(s) we're getting replaced have been officially supersceded by the new parts (eg. 71A.) Basically the newer mfg date, the more likely it will have the new part already.

ChrisSlicks 11-02-2009 03:27 PM
Mine has started acting up occasionally now, it pops up halfway and then you have to press the button again to get it to open the rest of the way.

Thanks for the info, I will follow up with my dealer.

Oh, and I need to change my vote!

TBSS2008 11-02-2009 03:44 PM
Just starting happening to me too. I thought maybe I needed to grease the trunk shocks but seems to be a know issue for other Z owners after reading this tread.

No use in getting new struts, Vipor; they all turned out bad (at least the OEMs). I was just saying that my hatch door doesn't stick, rather it's easy to open, but it won't stay up. Thanks anyway!

vipor 11-05-2009 01:05 PM
Not staying up is a strut problem. Not clearing the latch when "popping" the hatch is the spring issue.
