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 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

I'm with AK on this one.

I'm not quite sure what this "stuck hatch release issue" is all about. I use my hatch daily (I change in and out of my work shoes in the hatch haha) and haven't seen it get "stuck" yet. Knock on wood.

Mine likes for me two hit the button two times before it fully releases to open. I've tried the holding for a second or two approach and that didn't work. 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.

Intermittent, holding button doesn't help.

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.

kdo2milger · 08-08-2009, 01:47 PM

hmm..i wonder if graphite grease would do the trick...

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!!
