Initially the dealer told me he was replacing the valve body, however instead just flashed the transmission software per Nissan NTB15-014b, judder still present.

This was addressed by TSB BX4BVAA 1.1 CVT Update per Recall PC5001 PC500C 1.0 I think this was a CVT controller flash re-programming Door lock actuator making a Buzz when unlocking. The lock actuator in the drivers side rear door and the fuel filler door were replaced.

| Jun 20141240 mi | Rattle from the rear passenger side when over 100km/h and cross wind or head wind. | ||
| Jul 20141840 mi | The exhaust cover was loose and had to be secured to keep it from rattling during a cross wind. | ||
| May 20158540 mi | The analog gas guage is inaccurate. It reads anywhere from 1/3 to 1/2 a tank when there is only about 10l left in the tank and the electronic low fuel km left to empty signal is showing ----. Very poor AM/FM radio reception. When on the highway the signal is very poor, even when close to the transmitter. They checked the antenna connection and all was good. Could not replicate but was in the shop. | ||
| Sep 201511160 mi | The analog fuel gauge is inaccurate. Dealer confirmed that there is a service bulletin and new part needs to be ordered. Will be covered by warranty. | ||
| Apr 201618600 mi | Repeated problem with the analog gas gauge being inaccurate. Pursuant to a service bulletin the Instrument Cluster was already replaced. Last time I was in they said it would have to be replaced again. Fortunately, when I made the appointment, with about a month on warranty, the service writer took the time to think about the issue and concluded the problem was likely with the sending unit on the fuel tank. Low and behold when they went to replace the sending unit they found it was broken such that the float could get hung up. Why this wasn't checked earlier, I don't know. | ||
| Jun 201614260 mi | The analog gas gauge was very unreliable. Nissan replaced the instrument cluster in an attempt to remedy it. | ||
| Nov 201616400 mi | Gas gauge is acting up again. Shows empty even after fill. The instrument cluster needs to be replaced. | ||
| Apr 201718600 mi | The FM radio was not working well. It would go to static even when a signal was present. The entire radio/nav system was replaced on warranty. The gas gauge was not accurate. After having already replaced the instrument cluster, and multiple complaints from me, someone finally figured it might be the sending unit. They looked under the vehicle and found out that the lever in the tank which was to read the level was bent and jamming. They replaced it. Now it works fine. The gaskets which run parallel to the roof rails were lifting and loose. They were replaced and reinstalled. | ||
| Sep 201722320 miC $100 | When the rear hatch was opening there was a loud clunking noise. The dealership cleaned around the gaskets and believe that the gaskets were dirty and catching on the door. This resolved the problem temporarily but now it is back. | ||
| May 201826660 miC $200 | The rear hatch was clunking when opened. It was the rear spoiler interfering with the hatch when it opened. Spoiler adjusted to resolve the issue. | ||
| Jun 201827280 miC $1052 | Rear shocks were leaking and needed to be replaced. Rear brake pads needed to be replaced. | ||
| Jun 202034100 mi | Transmission was replaced due to judder. Secret warranty applied so no cost. | ||
