I fixed my rear hatch issue by adjusting the rubber bumpers.

Paint an obvious issue for most all of us, especially for those with a color other then white. When the paint chips, the base/primer coat is white and clearly visible (at least it was on my red 08 350z).

I recently purchased a 12 Pearl White Nismo and addressed a couple minor paint issues immediately that I brought to the dealerships attention.
1. Small paint chip on the passenger side doorsil (minor but noticeable)
2. Small scratch on the rear spoiler
3. 2 scratches on the rear passenger wheel
4. Paint peal (very minimal) where the rear fender meshed with the quarter panel.

The dealership is repairing the top three items at their expense and re-painting the bumper (blending) under warranty. The Nissan team at the dealership has been great so far at addressing these issues; as they should be. Afterall this is a brand new car.

For those of you asking yourself, why would you buy a car with these defects, here is you go. The top 3 items are very minor, likely not even noticeable to anyone outside of an enthusiast. The last item, was not visible when I drove car off the lot. I am certainely not crazy about having a brand new carrepainted, but considering how poor the paint is on this vehicle it may turn out better then factory. However, if not satisfied with the work they will be putting the car back on their lot.

Bottom line - Communicate your paint issues with your dealership immediately. If they refuse to help, I'm sure the good folks on this forum can pull together and address Nissan.

"thump" from transmission when I brake hard and the 7AT auto downshift from 2nd to 1st (some said 3rd to 2nd).
