I got my Titan on March 4th, and now have about 720 miles on it. This past Monday at 650 miles, it started making popping and creaking noises from the passenger floor/side. Sounds like in the area of where the pillar meets the floor or nearby. It started when it was rainy and humid, and has gotten a little better since it has not been so humid the last couple days, but still doing it. Typically happens when turning sharply right, then straightening back out, at low speeds (0 to 20). More so when turning right over some irregularity, like the slight hump into my driveway. Sometimes when accelerating or braking. Definitely a flex noise.

Obviously this is not something I expect a $35,000 truck to start doing at 650 miles, and have conveyed that to my sales guy. He claimed it is unheard off, and I made an appointment then.

I took it in for service this morning (Saturday). I was able to reproduce the noise for them right in their parking lot. After service checked it, they unfortunately said they tightened everything they could, to no avail. It is still making the noise, maybe even a little worse judging from my drive home afterward. My sales guy wanted to hear it as I was leaving the dealer, so a quick 50 foot drive around a right hand turn displayed it to him as well. He said he has never heard it in another Titan.

They want the truck back for a full day this week so they can involve corporate (which is closed Saturdays) to discuss it with them, see if they have heard of it, and if so what to do to fix it.

So I am documenting everything. Today was the first attempt to fix. I got my Nissan survey in the mail today, so they will hear about it as well. Not acceptable from such an expensive vehicle. Other than this popping/creaking, it is a great truck. Awesome engine/transmission combo.

Have any of you experenced similar body/frame flex noises in your Titan? And if so, any luck getting rid of them?
