Rattles
#31
The most annoying of the sqeaks and rattle was the one coming from the steering column cluster. This absolutely drove me nuts. I was able to get it fixed at the dealership...here's what they found and their fix to the problem:
"Lack of clearance between unified meter and lense and meter and lid. Insulated unified meter and cluster lid."
Problem solved...hopefully it stays that way.

i have had rattles from the first week of ownership. the first was in the sunglasses compartment, which has not gone away after taking out my sunglasses. also from passenger side seatbelt area...somewhere on the passenger side console...passenger side door (maybe speaker?)...steering column...and the air duct on the drivers side near the windshield which goes away if i hold on to it.
every week i feel like i hear a new noise. drives me crazy... i'm worried that the dealership would do more harm than good trying to fix these issues.

I am so with you. I've had so many different parts of my car rattle on me since I bought it (Sunroof, steering column, center console, A-pillar, passenger seat belt, etc). Now, I just gave up on trying to get rid of em because everytime I take it to the dealer, they refuse to do anything about it. The most frustrating part is that the rattles come and go, and it's almost impossible to duplicate the sound when needed.
ALKJFDLKJELFKJ!!!!!

Interesting thread. I owned a 2000 I30 and 2002 I35 that were very quiet except for back deck rattle that dealer padded and fixed. I switched to Acura on 04 for a TL and swore that car was a haunted house of squeaks, creaks and rattles. My 06 was far better, my 07 had a few and my last 08 was very quiet. I hear all these rattles and complaints about G and wonder what is going on. I am ready to get a G, but was hoping their build quality was what I was used to.

I get rattles in my car everywhere...but I really could careless. I just either turn my volume on my stereo up or listen to the drone of my exhaust and my screaming intakes.
Now the only thing that ticks me off is when my sub rattles (while it's cold out) when I crank up the music. I'd have to say Nissan/Infiniti should have bulked up the padding.

Rattles Galore
I bought my G35 this past December and from the time they delivered the vehicle it has suffered from numerous rattles/ticks. It was really disappointing to discover that Infinitis had such poor fit and finish. However, the sunroof rattle got fixed on the first trip back to the dealer. The second trip got the rattle in the steering column/instrument gauge area lessened, but not gone completely. The third trip to the service department got the steering column/instrument gauge area rattle down to a minimum. So maybe there's some hope. Still have a tick that comes out over rough roads (which is daily, especially living in SF). I also have that cracking/tick sound coming from the middle of the dash. I will definitely ask Infiniti to take a look at that during my next service visit.

My car is pretty good except for the crack sounds form the washi trim and possibly the controller. I do get the popping sound from the windshield area every once in a while, but it always goes away.
I'm curious for those of you guys that have the wood trim. Do you ever hear the crack sound from the center console area??? I'm thinking maybe this only affect G's with the washi interior only.

When new, had a rattle from the passenger side, seat belt height-adjuster. The dealership replaced it and problem solved.

J2: I too have some "come & Go' rattles, slight in nature - G35X 2007. I find that it is worse in the colder weather - being NY - that's going on now.... When the car warms up inside after driving a few miles or in the warmer weather, I hear these rattles rarely. I think it's the "fancy" plastics used in the dashboards and center consoles. I don't have Navi.

Noticed my first creaks today, if the sunroof sun visor (not even sure if thats the real name) is open, I could hear some creaks, closing it took care of it. Will probably take it to the dealer to fix it. Luckily this creaks are easily repeatable and can therefore be observed by the dealer
