Wellllllll... There is "more" resistance with closing the hatch, but I have found that the 2 pounds hinders the popping open more than the actual closing. And since the struts are probably wearing out, it'll seem like a brand new setup And to make sure, you're talking about the SPRINGS not being covered past the 3/36k (Although an extended bumper to bumper SHOULD cover it) And yes $37.77 is a (bend over) price, but if a member has an issue with theirs NOT being covered, PM me, and we'll figure something out |

Right on, good to know. I imagine many will be jumping on your mod. Regarding warranty, we are talking the same and INDEED the bros extended warranty (SEC PLUS PREF PREOWNED GOLD with ZERO deductible) and it did cover the part and labor cost = Zero dollars out of pocket. So it was written up as warranty, they may have fudged it....dunno. At that price I am sure many will be going with your fix it route. Good find and write up |

I've been having this same problem for a while now, and it's annoying as hell. I took it to the dealership the first time and they lubed it up and said if it keeps doing it we'll replace it. Well I took it back and my service rep quit and I have this new guy, and he's totally by the book so now I'm gonna have to try the weight trick. If it doesn't work I'll have to shell out $60
I'm really upset about my extended warranty, every single thing I've taken it in for they have not done a damn thing about. Ecu whine? "the ecu tested fine, can't replace it". Driver seat shifting and popping? "can't replicate problem". Replaced window motor, now there's a rattle in the door? "we didn't do that". Stuck hatch? "not covered under your bumper to bumper warranty". FML... Sent from my iPizzle using magic and new-fangled science stuff

There's a TSB for the stuck hatch - you should still be covered.

Even if it's not under warranty? I was under the impression that only for a recall would they fix stuff out of warranty.

It's not an actual recall, just a TSB, like that '09s are "prone" to oil consumption

Ok that's what I thought. The car was Just over 3 years old when I bought it, so the factory warranty had expired. I purchased the extended warranty, but it apparently doesn't cover this problem. So no, the bad springs were not reported under the factory warranty, therefore I'm SOL.

My dealer was jerking me around as well. Called Nissan and they got in contact with the dealer. Dealer agreed to replace springs (warranty expired 6 months ago) under warranty. Never hurts to call Nissan and make some noise. You know the expression, "squeaky wheel gets the grease!"

I had my springs replaced last year. The new longer ones still don't pop the trunk. Virtually no difference from the original short ones. I wasn't charged anything for them, but was a waste of time.
