It really SUCKS to hear people saying they are paying out of pocket for this issue. I sold my 07 Tundra Crew Max which I loved so that I could afford another truck and this car. Since day one my hatch has taken two attempts 99% of the time and 3 attempts 1% of the time. I still have yet to go to Nissan for a fix but I would expect them to fix it ON A BRAND NEW CAR!!!
Point of the story with the Tundra is that the Toyota dealership that I went to covered absolutely everything within the first 36K NO QUESTIONS ASKED. I had two different random pieces in my truck that broke, both due to human error. The damage was well over $1000 and they never even asked how it happened... JUST FIXED IT!!! Maybe I was spoiled with the Toyota dealer but now I am expecting that out of damn near any new car purchase... I mean once again ITS A NEW CAR....RIGHT? I am pretty sure that I can buy a brand new bottom dollar car any brand and the back hatch will work just fine... That's my 3 cents. |

LOL.... looks like KDO didn't get his rep from sittin around not helpin' people out... Thanks for the post of the pic too KDO..he's right, they are just stock sport rims painted black... they are dirty in the pic, as you can usually see any reflection in them... The guy did a great job... and they ARE painted, not powder coated. I know a lot of people say powder is way better (which it may be), but for the money I spent and the look I got, I'm lovin' it!!!
Sorry to get off topic: I'd rather talk about my car's rims than this stupid embarrassing stuck hatch that I have to push twice and lift up every time while I'm pushing the damn button lol |

It's been stated the hatch issue is related to outside temperature, and I'm inclined to agree. It happened to me for the first time yesterday, and it was the first time the temps have been below 40.
I also did this: I pressed the switch, the hatch opened slightly...I pushed down slightly on the hatch, pressed the switch again and, voilą, it opened right up.

saw someone else saying they paid elsewhere. quite unfortunate for those people. cup your balls and complain complain complain. i'd think that EVERYONE that returns to the dealer where they purchased their car would be able to get this remedied. i went to a random dealer that happened to be closer to home and got mine taken care of for free...
