Please allow me to be the first to comment on this. I doubt many of us will experience this problem. There are not too many situations where I would feel comfortable traveling 20-30 mph over the highest speed limit in the land. I see you live in Canada so maybe the roads up there allow relative safety at those speeds. I may be real ignorant in this regard. This said, I'll bet if you cracked open your moonroof at these speeds the howling of the wind (these roofs are terrible for wind noise) would drown out that "whistling" noise. Kinda like sticking your head into the intake duct of a B-52 engine at full bore.

In my part of Canada there are speed limits of 120 kilometres per hour which is roughly 75 miles per hour, so 80 -90 is not out the the question from a reasonable stand point. I've been on freeways in California where I have been doing 80 MPH and many are passing me like I am standing still. My point is regardless of the speed travelled, a vehicle of this calibre should not have this issue.

Speed limits aside, I think it's obvious no one would buy this if they knew they couldn't go over 80-90 and have everything in the car work the way it's supposed to.

I've had mine well over 9o with no issues. But.... I don't have a moonroof since I have the sr.

I have a 2016 Max. Other than the recalls from Nissan, I only had one issue with the Belt Tensioner where I hear the rattle at low RPMs.
There is no issue driving it like this but the rattle will last for ever lool

I changed the belt tensioner but the rattle came back again after around 3k miles

Otherwise, the car has been perfect and doing very well. It's been now 2.5 years and with over 75k miles on it. So I'm very satisfied with my car.

Thanks for the report. Curious about the noise the belt tensioner is making. Any chance of posting a video with sound so I can tell if mine has the issue as well?
