!!For 370Z Owners with the Stuck Hatch Release Issue!!

Trips · 08-08-2009, 03:37 AM

Mine likes for me two hit the button two times before it fully releases to open. I've tried the holding for a second or two approach and that didn't work. It's a brand new car there shouldn't be a problem opening your hatch it's not the end of the world the dealer will have to look at it and see what they can do. hopefully it's not going to cost me will update.

Intermittent, holding button doesn't help.

Update, Just got back from the Nissan Dealer they greased the latch mechanism and they tested about 20 times with no further sticking issues, now I'll give it a try later on today and early tomorrow to see if it's really fixed.

Hey kdo, did you have your springs replaced already? I know I should have read the whole thread but if you did was it a local dealer in or around Austin? I'm having some difficulty with Round Rock Nissan and Soutpoint was a hassle this past week. I'm runnin out of dealers here in Austin!!
