Versa Note

  • 12,000 miles
Unknown at a stop, when the A/C kicks on, I hear a very audible rattling noise coming from somewhere between the engine and the transmission. Whenever I am starting off, for example, going down my street, I can hear a very audible, yet different, rattling noise coming from somewhere behind the glove box. I thought that noise was something I had in the glove box, but I already tried emptying all of the compartments and driving and it still made that noise, which tell me that it must be something just behind the glove box inside the dash. The electroluminescent lights for the instrument panel are already beginning to fade out in some places. These problems began at 12K, 15K, and 17K miles respectively. I have mentioned these problems at 2 different Nissan dealership service departments 4 individual times and the only response I get is that it will be around $250 to check and see what the problem is and that the warranty probably will not cover the repairs. The vehicle has 33K miles currently and I will be trying one more time to have the issues resolved at the 35K mile service before the warranty expires at 36K. I am afraid that the instrument panel lights may go out at night and I won't be able to read the speedometer. As far as the rattling noises go that I and others are hearing is questionable. Whatever is rattling could eventually break and cause a very serious accident and injure/ kill one of me or my passengers. I cannot remember the exact day these problems began but I'm sure it was sometime between Oct 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016
