knocking noise from the rear? please help!

Gagawoolala · 06-15-2009, 09:42 PM

I am also experiencing rattling noise from the rear of the vehicle. To describe the problem, it is kind of like a rattling / buzzing / static noise coming from the right rear of the trunk area. I have made numerous attempts to the dealership to identify the problem, and it is coming from the tail light assembly. At least that is the latest I was informed, and it is being looked up to fix by the Nissan Manufacturer.

At this point, there is no fix for it yet. Will keep on checking.

I have already informed Nissan One on One Program advisor, and I have written a brief e-mail to Nissan Consumer Affair to report this problem.

so i guess its not an isolated incident per say. my friend is having the same problem i had with his G37. look out guys, this thing goes bad fast. if your rear end starts knocking get it looked at immediatly. a week after it started i couldnt even drive to the dealorship to get it fixed i had to have them toe it.

drove home the Z today from the dealer and have already experience hearing the rattling sound. I am still a newbie to stick shift and died a couple times. When i got home, i notice the rattling sound from the right side. Not sure if it's from the front or back. Could i have already damage something from stalling numerous times? i notice when i am on neutral and not stepping on the clutch that sound is there, but when i depress the clutch, the sound is gone. please help?!

thats the throwout bearing on your clutch. it shouldnt do that brand new and stock
