Screw it! I'm going tomorrow to pick up the springs and pay for it out of pocket, I don't have patience for this nonsense!

Dealer replaced my springs on the second attempt, they replaced the "actuator" first and then ordered the replacement springs. Dealer was in Hickory, NC hope everyone else gets this taken care of as easily as I did. Car has 4k miles on it.

It really SUCKS to hear people saying they are paying out of pocket for this issue. I sold my 07 Tundra Crew Max which I loved so that I could afford another truck and this car. Since day one my hatch has taken two attempts 99% of the time and 3 attempts 1% of the time. I still have yet to go to Nissan for a fix but I would expect them to fix it ON A BRAND NEW CAR!!!

Point of the story with the Tundra is that the Toyota dealership that I went to covered absolutely everything within the first 36K NO QUESTIONS ASKED. I had two different random pieces in my truck that broke, both due to human error. The damage was well over $1000 and they never even asked how it happened... JUST FIXED IT!!!

Maybe I was spoiled with the Toyota dealer but now I am expecting that out of damn near any new car purchase... I mean once again ITS A NEW CAR....RIGHT?

I am pretty sure that I can buy a brand new bottom dollar car any brand and the back hatch will work just fine... That's my 3 cents.
