Light grinding from engine
Can anyone here tell me if they've had this problem? At exactly 2500 rpm my engine is making a light grinding type of noise. It's only at 2500 rpm when I have my foot on the accelerator. Anyone know what this might be? Thanks for any help. By the way, I have an automatic SE.

I'm definitely taking it to the dealer this weekend. Everyone I've talked to can't really think of what it could be. I guess I'll see soon. I think I'll also have them check out the rattling my sunroof makes ever since they fixed a drainage problem I had. Bastards.

I had a similiar noise. Mine was most noticable right at 3k rpms, although i heard it before and after that. Do you hear it while you are in neutral or park?
MIne turned out to be a broken air intake valve, or soemthing like that. Dealer ordered the part - should be coming in soon.

I've so far heard it while driving and keeping it steady at 2500rpm. I'd assume it would do the same thing in Neutral or Park, but I have yet to check that out. Just talked to the dealer and she's going in on Saturday.

The TSB link is 2004-2005 NISSAN MAXIMA AND QUEST; EXHAUST RATTLE / BUZZING NOISE PRESENT DURING ACCELERATION
I had the same problem 3 months ago!
looking at the tsb
now looking under my car...i was able to see the cracks
When idling it would not do that or when coasting would not do that either. but as soon as you tap on the gas at about 2K-3K it starts rattling. Its a 8-10 piece that the stealership will replace for free. I did it myself, was a ***** to get under the car without a lift. so have them replace it.
