Thanks you guys! She is home with me now and I will either get used to it or trade it in at some point. I agree on the solid feel of the doors closing and the dang balls it has for such a large 4x4 full frame! So it is a motor mount design issue? I wonder if anyone offers a aftermarket softer compou...

Well I am going to pick it up tonight. They went through it like a TSA agent on a bearded man and can find absolutely nothing at all. I guess I just need to get used to it. It is just the nature of this beast I guess. They did offer me a way out and into something else but I don't want another Nissa...

Why can't they work this out!? Good grief man just add 1 more drive-train mount or maybe a softer compound?? 3 mounts for a 266HP drive-train is not enough IMHO...

Maybe it just takes some getting used to I don't know.....but it seems excessive for such a nice truck.

In my brief experience with them...be sure to sit in it for 20 minutes at idle. Then drive it around at 35 to 40MPH. If not for you do it for me! LOL.

I would love to know if your feels as unrefined and vibrating as mine does.

It almost feels like Nissan uses no rubber mounts anywhere.

Yea I don't get it man. Now that Nissan USA is involved they will either find the problem or buy it back or tell me I'm stuck with it.....

I just don't get how the Ultima loaner I had and now this rouge loaner and of course my pathfinder can all be such rattle cans??

Started the process of having Nissan buy it back because the dealer just keeps saying this is just the way they are and it is the nature of them. Nissan has a process for buying a certified preowned back. I really want to keep it but I should not have to eat ibuprofin to relax my back muscles after ...

Ahhh gotcha....after I typed that I kinda did remember hearing that.

Thanks for the reply and the assurance. It looks like I have found yet another forum that will absorb absurd amounts of my time! Ina good way of course!

Well I just bought a certified preowned 2011....my first Niassan....and this thread is bumming me out bad. I have a weird 1kRPM/40MPH vibration going on.

madmat

Thanks man. So it seems they all have this weird issue then? Not the Japanese quality I was expecting. I still love it though...I just need to know it is the best it can be.

And man do I love Canada!! Lots of friends up there!

madmat

catching up on lot of reading here! Great forum. While I am searching though I figured I would just ask. Is it common for the tranny mount to wear out at 48k on a 2011? This is my first Nissan and I get a reverberation/vibration at 1k RPM's...which happens to be at 35MPH....which is a lot of my driv...
