Consumer Description

POPPING NOISE FROM UNDER CAR. TOOK IT IN AND DEALER FIRST TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL THAT IT WAS THE EXHAUST SYSTEM COOLING OFF. I DID NOT ACCEPT HIS RESPONSE BECAUSE THE POPPING WAS MUST TOO LOUD AND I CONTACTED NISSAN AMERICA WHO GOT ENGINEERS INVOLVED. THEY FINALLY CONCLUDED THAT IT WAS THE HEAT SHIELD. THE DEALER WORKED ON IT AND IT SEEMINGLY GOT BETTER FOR A WHILE BUT IT HAS KEPT RECURRING SINCE THEN. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REWORK SEVERAL TIMES AND IT HELPS FOR A WHILE BUT RETURNS. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AMERICAN AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY GETTING ENGINEERING INVOLVED AGAIN. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL COME UP WITH A FIX. VERY LOUD AND ANNOYING. *TR
