I just got a 2001 SE and I noticed a weird rattling sound coming from the back left side of the car. I checked my spare and everything else in the trunk and everything is tight. I went to my dealer and they told me it was low air pressure. Sure enough, about three days later I heard the rattle again, air pressure is at 35 all round. Is anyone else having this problem, and if so, what do I do?? I checked under the car, nothing moves.

Go back to the dealer with 35psi in your tires and tell them to try again.

Car dealers... Gotta make you wonder just what they are dealing (to the service personnel anyway)

If anyone is wondering I went back to the dealer and it seems Nissan forgot a couple of parts on my brake kits. There were three pins missing on the left back tire causing the rattle. The service dept ended up replacing both back brakes and installed two new kits. Beware everyone, check those back brakes!!!!!!!!!

u know wat am I thinking? Dealer loves warranty work where Nissan pays for everything. In a lot of cases, they just replace watever and they never hesitate....like my A/C amplifier....all they did was a leak and pressure test then they determined that amplifier is broken....because all other tests passed.
