I noticed a knocking noise when I was in the mountains last winter. It only happens on a down grade during a left turn. Happens at pretty much any speed.

Since then I've had it to Central Carolina Nissan 3 times. They cannot replicate the noise. I took them on a drive and was able to replicate if I drove "fast" in tight circles. Nissan called me the next day and said that they couldn't drive the vehicle that aggressive to replicate the noise. Since it is pretty flat here it has been hard to find a place to make the noise. However, I have found one (downhill left turn) and will take the Pathy back. Does any one have any suggestions I can give to the dealership to check?


Other noise issues I've had.

1. Squeak from dash on bumpy roads (turned out to be break/gas pedal assembly that moves)
2. Ticking from glass on drivers door.
3. Sunroof/roof bow rattle

So, thats 3 down and 1 to go.

How did they fix #2 ??

I had simliar noise. Though it only happened when I turned right 10 Deg (or so) breaking or back up. It was the tire rubbing on the mud flap. I found that the OffRoad version tires are a tight fit. Check your mud flap for "rub marks" after making the sound.

It took multiple visits but the long story is:

When I took the car on a test drive I heard it and so did the salesman. I told them to fix it. They did somthing to the regulator while I did the paperwork. It began making the noise a few days later. I took it back. They said they padded some cables and other stuff. It still made the noise. I took it back. They ordered a whole new door panel for the inside of the car. I know they did because the new panel had no Armour All on it. It hasn't made the noise since. However, I wonder if during the replacement if something else wasn't done. It just don't think it was the panel personally. At any rate I'm happy that the noise stopped.

Now I'll see if I can find out what is causing the knocking noise. I'll check the mudflaps like mentioned above, but the tech and I agree that it sounds more like a metal is involved, rather than rubber and plastic.

Yes, in the 2005 model there is a TSB (Service Bulletin) on it.
