I didn't have any problems with my hatch but then again I was not in and out of the hatch often. Then recently I've noticed that sometimes I'll hit the button to open the hatch and it will not pop open and I have to press the release button again and then it opens.

i am taking a copy of vipors invoice to the dealership this friday, i was suppose to do it last week but something came up...

ill follow up here this weekend...

Good luck at your dealer(s), hope they're nice :D

now im waiting for the regional office to contact me to further assit me in this matter...

i should here from someone before tomorrow evening...

I hope you are not holding your breathe for that phone call?

if not i have an extension and a name...ill just call again

it is 8:47 am on my day off...

and just got a call from the division office at 8:41 am...

so proggress is being made sofar...

she said it would take a few days to complete (she called it an investigation).

so it being friday, i dont expect to here from her till next tuesday...

tic toc, and i need coffee...ergh...too early...:yawn:

I just emailed my Nissan service and parts department manager in Maryland. He said that he can find no TSB issued to this problem. He also stated, "we can only replace the springs if we can identify a problem with them". I intend to bring my vehicle in when I reach 3750 miles for the oil change and then show them the hatch spring problem.

Thats good to hear and thanks for your action on this matter.

:tiphat: your welcome...it being a federal holiday today i dont expect ill here from them...hopefully ill get a call tomorrow...

i have been using this pry bar, works well.lol

its cool pry bars and aluminum go well together :p

I think I fixed this issue on my car. I took the springs out and just remounted them a week ago, and my hatch has been popping up just fine ever since. It's like a subtle change in position was all that was needed or something.

until they loose their resiliency again...

Yeah, probably.
