Thanks for the reply's. There is a "higher up agency" for consumer complaints, but that is my last resort. Also, any ruling by them takes forever. I will proceed to the "penny trick" if all else fails, but I first want to see what they intend to do about the problem (without changing parts as per the TSB) later today during my visit, to honour the warrany. Will keep you all updated.

wow, were i am from (ontario, canada) i just went into the dealer, in fact without the car, told them i had the problem and they said they would order it in for me. I brought the car in a week later, they came out to the parking lot and put the two new ones in and I was done in 10 minutes. No questions asked, no one even took a look at it. Good luck to you getting yours fixed, i hope they wise up!

There's a TSB out now. The process should be similar to yours from now on.

I just got back from the dealer here in Sweden and the problem is hopefully about to be solved. I simply had them try to open the hatch which made them acknowledge there was a problem. I then proceeded together with the maintenance manager to his office computer. He logged on to Nissan Europe Spare Parts and noticed that the parts number had been updated to 84415-1EA1E. There was still no TSB issued in his system but new parts have now been ordered and are covered by the warranty. So now I must only wait. Thanks to all.

I recently contacted my Nissan Service department in Silver Spring, MD and they confirmed a TSB was issued and they ordered my new hatch springs. I went in for an oil change and they replaced my springs and all is well.

Wlked into my dealer, gave them a copy of the TSB. Manager ordered the springs on the spot. Installed them a week later. No issues.

So, I dropped my car off for this fix 2 weeks ago or so. This morning when it was a little chilly out, I popped the trunk - sure enough, it didnt open all the way.
Im starting to wonder if my dealership even bothered to DO the swap. Can you snap a picutre of yours installed, Steve? Im curious what they look like compared to the old ones...

Still no luck in getting the replacement springs here.
Nissan belgium(or europe?) still hasn't issued a TSB for the springs. Hell I even printed the TSB out. but dealership said they cant order parts like that if there isn't a TSB out. I wonder if I could buy them somewhere or something or a nice american dealership willing to ship me some. |

Well, they are not using the ones Vipor is showing, they switched mine out and shows the proper number on the receipt but they are still a bit shorter but seem "stronger."
I was pissed at first when I looked and they were short, but I checked the invoice and everything and they are the right ones.

Cause mine sure as hell didnt open completely this morning, and seemed to be opening just the same as before the swap. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, though...
