G35 interior noise. Dealer can't fix. Help?
Hi,
I have a 2006 G35X which recently developed an interior noise and the dealership is not getting close to finding a fix.
Here's what it is:
Sounds like a creaking type noise somewhere in the center console up towards the shifter. Happens when breaking and when going over bumpy roads. Dealership replaced my **** shifter and the plate under the shifter with the "PNRD" printed on it. Noise is still there. They have NO idea what the issue is. Now they want to keep it another 5 days and put some kind of padding in the center console. They're guessing at this point, trying to troubleshoot it. Anyone had this issue and found the culprit? Oh and they replaced the shifter **** because they said it had a crack and could have been part of the noise issue. It's cheezy and cheap looking with a matte/flat finish and it looks bad. Mine was nice, shiny black like my leather interior. Now the shifter is gone. I told her then go get another off a used G35 on your lot. She said maybe the factory can send my original one back to them. Anyway, my main reason for posting is to see if anyone else has had this noise in the area I'm talking about and what the fix was.
Thanks,

bbs,
Do you mean in the armrest of the center console where you rest your right elbow? Because my noise seems to be smack dead center of the car, particularly up near the shifter but you know how noises can go, seems like one place and ends up being another. So do you mean you're going to grease the center console area where the hinge is?

Update on console noise
Thanks Wrathernaut, I will try that too.
Regarding the console noise: I picked up my car tonite for the center console creaking. They put foam padding of some type along the inside underneath, where the two main hard plastic console pieces meet, kind of near the shifter. I drove it home from the dealership and it seemed a lot better. Let's hope that it stays! I'll post again for those of you following this thread in hopes that it helps you with your same noise issue.
