Latest build quality R1S VIN1306x

[philofilm]

Our 12xxx R1S — only issue I’ve noticed is the very slight clunking noise over bumps you mention. Maybe I’m not as particular but as far as I can tell everything is perfect.

I have a 5xxx VIN manufactured in early March and I too have the rattle. Mine was actually fairly good, quality-wise. It's actually been at service since the 17th for the rattle and some minor gap issues. When I spoke to the SC on Friday of last week they indicated the rattle was not the dash like we all thought. In fact they had the entire dash taken apart and still had the rattle. They still have it while trying to figure out exactly where it is coming from. Just an FYI if it is a rattle which seems like it's front center dash happening over rougher roads at lower speeds that doesn't replicate on smoother roads generally, it might be the same issue and it might not simply be a grill or dash clip that got loose like I thought it was originally. I'm hoping they can sort it out early this week, because the Nissan Frontier I have as a rental is just awful to drive.

I have the same issue with my center dash over rougher patches of roads (22 wheels).

Please let me know what you find out and if they resolve the issue for you at the SC.

Well... 10 minutes with a socket wrench and the tailgate alignment is now perfect.

I picked up today. The rattle was apparently not the dash. There were some lines which were bouncing against some HVAC component. I also had some hydraulic lines rattling against each other under my drivers seat. It took SC a while to figure the rattle out. But I can report it was completely gone for sure on pick up. Also side note they replaced my amplifier as part of a field service action.

Great, thank you. I have the noise under my drivers seat as well.

do you have any paperwork that would show the issue/fix that you could send me? thx

Took delivery on Friday of our newly manufactured R1S VIN1306x. Figured I would provide an overview of the latest quality for builds rolling of the factory floor these days. Overall things don't look terrible, but a few items need to get fixed:

The good:

• Hood alignment: Looks good, no issues
• Charging port door alignment: almost perfect
• Door alignment: Overall things are pretty consistent, nothing off enough to fix.
• Doors: All close properly
• Tailgate alignment: side to side things are perfect and square
• Paint quality: no major issues. One very small nick and one small metal nib that was painted over near the rear light lens (mostly hidden)
• Interior: No visual issues... all panels and materials look good.
• Wheels: No scratches
• So far "everything works" (lights, functions, etc)

The bad:

• Rear tailgate does not close far enough and the top half sticks out way too far from the body panels. Delivery agent agreed.
• Drivers side rear door had the black trim lifting near the front. Deliver Agent said they would take care of it
• Intermittent "rattling" noise behind the main center screen. clearly something is loose back there. it is loud!
• Small dent on rear passenger side door. (how do they manage to dent these things so much) it is small, but want it fixed)
• A/C Noise - still trying to figure this one out. Can I hear it? yes. Is it crazy loud? No, but it isn't quiet. Without all the threads I am not sure I would have thought much about it, but I also haven't had enought really hot days to hear just how loud it might get.
• Headliner above 3rd row is loose and not alighed. Not really sure how they attach these things... I don't see any clips.
• Suspension "clunking" - Over speed bumps the suspension clunks a bit (sounds like a 1980's lifted Toyota 4x4). Seems to be getting quieter with more miles.. but I will have them check this one.

So... for being built at a time when they have the factory pop'ed out R1s as fast as they can for Quarter end.... it is actually in better shape than I was expecting.

I have a 13xxx R1S delivered on Friday. Ticket in for same rattling in dashboard over EVERY single bump. I can see that mesh flexing right under the glass. So frustrating that wasn't caught unless they test drive on glass. Front trunk tub scratched and a few other scratches and dirty visor.

Slight driver door rattle too but nothing like the dash.

Support called and said I should probably keep it for a week and then schedule someone to come out and see if other issues pop up.

I don't expect a high end detail at delivery but definitely subpar and underwhelming. Delivery guy walking around with a microfiber wiping a dirty car and told him to stop.

I just got a R1S from the shop but haven't taken delivery, and the VIN is 0431X . . . seems old given all your numbers. Should I be concerned? Am I getting a vehicle without improvements (and what would those be) or a reject? Thanks all.

It means your R1S was made quite a while ago (someone else will need to comment on the build date for that VIN range. Possible that it sat around the factory because it didn't pass QC and they had to fix some stuff. the good news is... they spent time to fix it.

Is this the sound that you were hearing under the drivers seat:

That’s great news! Thank you. I will show the SC your message. Hopefully it corrects it soon.

No mine was different. Basically on a turn it seemed like something was rolling against something else under the seat producing a single knock on every hard turn. It could possibly be related but mine was not a persistent sound.

The notes specifically say a “kinetic hard line contacting the body”.

 

[LL75]

Yep.. that is exactly how mine looks.

My liftgate and the driver side door was off just like yours. They fixed my liftgate on the first tried but didn't do a good job with the driver side door (still a little bit too high). It is currently at the shop to redo. vin 5xxx
Also, how is your subwoofer on 3rd row passenger with high bass music? Any rattling?

Is this the sound that you were hearing under the drivers seat:

That's definitely the sound that I hear when going over some bumps and/or turning right. I had thought that it was the flashlight in the door, or my crossbars and/or cargo up top. I had also thought that maybe something was in the door pockets rattling, but I've confirmed that none of the above are the issue and that sound is starting to annoy me. Sounds like it is coming from the vicinity of the driver's door, or B-pillar area. I'm waiting a another week or so to get my list of issues over to the SC, but I've only had it for under a month. R1S VIN 93xx

That noise happens when I am not moving. Get in, and as the R1s starts us you hear that noise (it is loud. And you can feel it)
