I had squeaks/rattles since the first month and it didnt make me wanna sell my ride. I had Z28 and mustang gt before and didnt have this many rattles, no bs, and not hating on my car. I still love it, just wish i didnt get the crap one that sounds like UAW worker assembled.

Your thoughts are for you. I will have my own thoughts. If I don't like the fact that my G has been a POS then I won't accept your opinion that it is ok and I should be happy because you are so important and that I just don't know how to think for the past 50 years and let you run the rest of my f'ing life!
It isn't what you are saying it is how you said it. IMHO goes a long way
do you have any real stats on "serious rattles". do you have a definition of serious rattles? why should I fix them? my friends g doesn't have them why should I? Is it OK for the car to stall only once in a while, many parts go into an engine and drive train, Should I expect them to work ? Should I expct the tires to hold air butits ok for them to shake? where do you draw the line?
I did my part, I signed the check properly....
These issues are part of what determines one manufacturer from another.

Seriously people, stop fvcking bitching about rattles, its a DAMN CAR. Do you know how many DAMN parts, bolts, nuts, panels make up a DAMN car. A car is a moving object, affected every single time you take it out of that drive way, by every day wear and tear. A car will survive thru snow, rain, you name it, it will most likely survive thru it. Most cars last 10-15 years, does that not amaze you? How basically a piece of metal put together by nuts, bolts, and many other things survives every single days wear and tear? Honestly, have you ever seen a car being built? It is truly amazing, of how far our technology has come. Seriously people, man (or woman) the fvck up and get used to the rattles, or fix em yourselves but stop complaining. Its a car for gods sake.
Yeah, I'll continue to invest hours locating and repairing rattles, but I won't subject myself to this again. I've got better things to do with my time than repair rattles. Of course if I want to ride in a rattle free car, I could just borrow my son's '95 Mercury Sable. The car has well over 100K miles on the odometer and doesn't have a single rattle. It's amazing that a company like Ford can do something that Infiniti can't.
As far as how many Gs rattle, neither you or I have any idea. All I can tell you is that mine does rattle, and the two G loaners I got when I had my car in for service also rattled. Also, I have a friend who has an '03 G coupe that rattles, but he uses the "put the stereo on loud" solution to cure his rattles.

I don't know if it's the air vents or speaker. I also get the sound of air passing through the driver's side window when it's cold outside.
I know that rattles are just a nuisance, but to me they are an indication of a car's build quality, and the G is obviously lacking in that department. These constant rattles wouldn't be acceptable on a $10K Hyundai, much less on a upper $30K supposedly luxury car.

whats with all the sarsasm, not everyone is lucky like the rest of you sarcasmists that posted in this thread. dont judge those with problems with their cars. I too got rattles and pops and ticks in my car. so i fully understand Fast1 and what hes going thru. Even im thinking of trading in my G because of the rattles. So stop with the offensive talk of how "girly" our reactions are. Walk in our shoes and experience driving a car that rattles each time you drive it.
ok, Fast1, about your rattles. Im probly the most **** about the G's perfection so i really study those rattles in my car. here are my suggestions.
1. Air vents are rattle issues, there are TSB for them. tell the dealer and theyll check it. (i got mine replace lastime like 3 weeks ago for drivers airvent)
2. pops and ticks sound that seems like coming from the windows of the doors, and i just figure this out, are coming from the silvery slips outside of the car. those silver strips that rounds around the window frame. open your doors and place your palm and squeeze the silver strip, they will sound of pops and ticks. because they are not glue tight in, their loosen and space inside is causing the rattles when window vibrate and transfer the vibration to them.
3. inside doors might loosen, my driver side door arm rest pops and ticks when load music, ask the dealer to show you how to open the inside door panel and you can do that whenever your car rattles there.
Im going to dealer tomorow and going to do what i mention to my car. Im very confident that those are the sources of the problems. help these applies to you car Fast1/. gl

did you ever notice the rattles when you test drove the coupe off the lot? maybe not because you loved the car too dam much to even notice even if you did hear them
there are too many factors in your everyday driving that could cause them: rough roads, aftermarket accessories, etc. but yeah i'm not trying to convince you to stay with infiniti but dam if that g35 coupe concept ever comes to production i bet your *** you'll be crawling back

I was going to post the same thing
I have 3 rattles:
my CDs, my seatbelt (fixed by just moving them a bit), and sometimes the car rattles after driving on horrid roads (I have no choice sometimes
)the only thing that TRULY gets to me, and this is not a G-coupe problem
is those damn whistling brakes!! ARGH
but after going for a ride in my friend's 2004 STi with upgraded Brembos
I realized.. I dont got it so bad.. his scream louder than his engine
