I just did the 3 penny fix today and it works great. Not worth all the haggling with Nissan. (though this could be my last Nissan given how crumby their service is)
|
just keep an eye on the three penny trick...
it worked flawlessly for the first two weeks then started to act up after that...whereas it was intermitten just as it was without the pennies... |

No Nissan has not acknowledged there is even a problem. I have not been able to replicate the problem once the car is warm although it has been getting worse and even took several trys on a warm day after driving for 20 to 30 miles when I stopped for fuel.
The One to One program called two days ago and I jumped on them with the problem, gave them my case # and complained. We'll see if attacking from another angle helps. The serv mgr at the dealership promised a callback today but I'll believe that when I hear the phone ring. |
Well...I got the call. The serv mgr asked me to stop by and put the new longer springs in my Z. I did and wow what a difference. The hatch literally jumps open. So much it actually bounces a little. I feel sure it will calm down and be fine in a few days. This whole process has helped develop a better working relationship with the dealership and should improve my service experience for the future. The 370 is a new experience for service departments so we're learning together.

im glad it all worked out in the end :tiphat: |
Ugh...I have this issue, two days now I have been unable to open the hatch unless I hit the button twice and on the second try I still have to push up a little to get it to pop all the way. I will call the number tomorrow or this afternoon if I have some free time, but I need to schedule an appointment at the dealership also to get a rattle looked at. Maybe they will order these for me also if I can prove it is messed up.

i can tell you know Dreamer once you get the longer ones like me and vipor have youll be glad you got them :tup: |
Oh I can bet, I do wonder if the cold has anything to do with it here. The only other time I have had the issue was when it rained really heavy once and even then it was a bit "cooler."

Hatch Sticking
Cold does not have anything to do with hatch sticking. I live in FL and had the same problem all summer long. It started about five month after I purchases car.

Spring Lift Problem With Early Build Models
Bought my Z in the last day of September 09. It has the longer spring lifts. So Nissan had to know this lift situation was a problem.....otherwise they would not have changed them for models built later in the production year. ;)

I've had this issue since about a month after I received the vehicle (April 09). Thus I take the Z to the Nissan Dealership. Yet when I get there, the trunk release works PERFECTLY. WTF??!!?!! When I get it back home, the next morning it gets stuck again. Next few days, at work when attempting to open up the hatch to get my laptop out, it gets stuck. Grrrr .. So take it back again, and what do you know .. I can not recreate the problem in front of the Nissan Technician. Even as cordial as he was, he stated that he can not do anything until after he has experienced or recreated the issue.
So can someone PLEASE tell me, what is the 3 penny trick? |

use your car as you normally do with out opening the rear deck lid... then after a few days of driving, stop by the dealer and have the service advisor give it a try...he should be able to experience the issue first hand provided you havent attempted to open it prior to your arrival at the dealership... |
Screw it! I'm going tomorrow to pick up the springs and pay for it out of pocket, I don't have patience for this nonsense! :mad:
