Description of the problem	Rattling noise coming from underneath the car. I question this everytime i take my car in for service back to 2008 and everytime i get the same answer "it's normal, it's just the heat shield plate heating up and cooling down. It doesn't affect the safety & function of the vehicle and there is no fix for it". It's amazing i paid $30k for a car that rattles on regular basis and there is no fix for it. You would think after the many complaints on this nissan could atleast come up with a fix! They say it does not affect the function/safety of the vehicle but i beg to differ, i get hesitations when the accelerator is pressed. If this was "normal" then every car sold would make this noise but they don't so it's obviously not normal and a problem.
