soft floor
I picked up my fifth maxima at the end of January. Overall, I am enjoying the car (3.5SL Elite package). However, there is one annoying problem that I have. The floor just under the accelerator pedal seems soft (like sheet metal that pops in and out). Thus, everytime I switch my foot from accelerator to brake, I hear a popping sound. The dealership service department says that it is just insulation, and there is nothing that can be done! Anyone else notice this problem? Any thoughts?

I will say this: apparently there is some pretty wide variance in the quality of the assembly line output at different times of the day or month. Or maybe there are multiple lines at Smyrna and they vary. Whatever the case, there seem to be 2 types of owners in this forum - those with no problems at all (like me) and others who seem to feel the car is a POS. There's either very little middle ground or the folks with only a minor prob or two just don't say anything about it. It can't be both, though, and the fact some of us have zero problems means the car isn't an engineering failure!
