Something is rolling around IN my car! Can anyone help??
Something is ROLLING around inside the cabin of my '08 G35X! It's either in the passenger-side rear door OR in the rear decklid. When a make a tight turn I can hear it ROLLING to the opposite side. I have not yet had a chance to get in the back seat while someone else drives or visa versa yet to isolate it.
Has anyone else had this problem that something may have "come-lose" (after all of 2000 miles!!!!!!!!!!) OR have I just hit the UNLUCKY LOTERY???
Thanks in advance for any help & insight!!!!

I HAD THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM with my new G35X!!!
I brought it back in and the service manager said it could be broken glass from the factory (he said sometimes glass can break and fall in the interior of the car beneath all the carpeting)...well, once they hoisted it on the lift they found some small rocks in a protective pan.
They had the nerve to ask me if I had taken my new car "off road"! Can't tell you where those rocks came from as my car had 5 miles on it when I took delivery but the good news is: it was an easy fix.
Good luck, - tell them to look in that protective pan that is underneath the car!

I was able to isolate it. It is definately in the rear deck lid!
I was also able to isolate the slight vibration sound I have been getting from the rear passenger area from day one. It's the inoperable piece of glass on the rear passenger door.
Has anyone else had this malady?

I have a similar sound coming from over my right shoulder as I accelerate. At first, I thought it might be those York Peppermint Patty Bites: that my wife spilled slightly after I purchased the car. Sounds like something is rolling around! Drives me crazy. Can't find it. So, I blast the SOW to compensate.

I sometimes put change in those two little slots next to the latch in the center console and on quick turns that sh*t goes FLYING!
I have no idea where though, I can't figure out if it stays inside the bin or goes onto the floor.... oh well, thats why i usually keep my change in the ash tray

I had a rolling sound coming from the passenger side - sounded like a metal bal rolling. It does not sound all the time. After reading several posts and trying to take my car appart, I took it to the dealer.
The dealer - Warren Henry of Davie, Florida - took my car, gave me a loaner and washed my car - ZERO CHARGE!!!!
At the end it was a AAA battery lodged underneath the passenger seat inside the vents. It took 10 minutes for the tech to figure it out.
It was driving me nuts but now I am noise free!

I have the same problem on my 07 G35. The sound is coming from the passenger side exactly like the others described. At first, I thought is it the coolant bottle in my trunk but now my trunk is empty and the sound is still there. I have no idea what the heck is going on on the passenger side. Absolutely no loose parts like *****, battery, or whatever in my car. I keep my car clean and clear so it must be something inside the door or the side skirt which is making this noise.
Please inform us if anyone here find out what is making the noise.
