I do not have this problem. I use my hatch quite often and it has yet to get stuck.
Can we also add a poll for the front bumper/fender molding flaw that causes the paint chip as well. Maybe a seperate section for gathering info on recouring issues to get TSBs from Nissan?

No problems here. The wife uses the hatch all the time and she reports no issues.

Update, Just got back from the Nissan Dealer they greased the latch mechanism and they tested about 20 times with no further sticking issues, now I'll give it a try later on today and early tomorrow to see if it's really fixed.:excited:

No problems with mine either.

i wonder if the factory is putting in both sizes of lift springs, and some folks have the longer ones and some folks have the shorter ones :confused:

Anything is possible remember the issues with the dealer installing the wrong type of wheel locks and the subsequent problems. never rule out the human factor.

Chan Chee Hoe 08-09-2009 12:08 AM
Oh sometime,i need to press the button 3 times before the hatch can be open....i will check the spring now.

I sometimes have to press it twice to release. I thought I wasn't holding it long enough! Good Info!!

kdo2milger 08-09-2009 12:56 AM
keep em coming folks...we need to get this documented in order to get a TSB released...

ENT-Z 08-09-2009 01:06 PM
I would say mine sticks about 90% of the time. Sometimes it is so bad that it takes 3 or 4 pushes before it will open. It's embarassing!

kdo2milger 08-10-2009 10:15 PM
So I went from two pennies on each side to three... I'll give it a day or so to see if that fixes it permantly...

still waiting to see how Nissan handles this issue, but in the meantime 6 cents is cheaper than $64.00!

the spring lift on the bottom is mine, notice the difference in length? its at least 3/8 inch longer.

I'm still using the two penny trick on mine at the moment, I tested it today and the pennies seem to be working...although its intermitten at best...
I dont understand, Nissan makes a longer spring lift for the 370z than the one that comes with the car?
