I purchased a 2009 SL AWD in May of 2008 and have about 9k miles. So far very satisfied and no problems. However, I am hearing a lot lately a rattling sound while driving as if it is coming from the windshield. Has anyone else been experiencing this? Also, is there a way to play an IPOD other than the adaptor that goes into the 12v outlet and plays through a radio station?

The rattle near the windshield is most likely the black plastic trim piece that is located under the windshield wipers (on the exterior, lower area of the windshield. Many have found this piece to rattle/tap against the window causing an annoying rattle.
As for the IPOD.... Hopefully an aftermarket or factory IPOD adapter like found in the LE will surface... Many an owner looking for the answer to that question.
Cheers

Thanks for the response to the rattling question. I will check it out. As for playing an IPOD, I picked up an auxiliary cable from Radio Shack for about $32 that plugs into the auxiliary outlets located behind the center console and the headphone jack on the IPOD. You hit the AUX button on your radio 2x, put the volume on the IPOD to its max, and play your songs. However, the IPOD does not charge while playing, since not integrated into the stereo system, and the playlists/songs are not displayed on your screen, but the sound quality is perfect like a CD!!! This will be great for my upcoming road trip

Could you share what specific brake issue you got fixed?
I too have the 09 LE and vibration problem. The dealership did 2 balance jobs and the vibration is still there.

The problem I was experiencing was a pulsation or vibration when I was braking. The service report I got back from them when I picked up the car states: "... found front brake rotors have excessive amounts of run out which is above min specs. resurfaced the front brake rotors, reinstalled front brake pads...." and it took 1.3 hours. I don't know what any of that means, but the problem no longer exists! Hope this helps, good luck!

Thanks for the reply. I actually have the vibration problem during drive(40~70mph). That is probably a differnt cause as yours.

This actually could be your problem. I haven't had the issue in my Murano, but in my 2004 Altima I started noticing a horrible vibration when I was braking at highway speeds. When I was driving on city streets it was not noticible at all.
I took it in several times and each time they would balance the tires and send me on my way. It wouldn't fix it so finally on the third time I told them to do a little more looking. About an hour later they called me up and said that the rotors were warped and needed to be replaced. I asked about retooling them, but they said they were too worn for that.
So I picked up the car and then got the rotors replaced and the car was perfect again. Couldn't believe it was such a simple fix. With that being said it could be your rotors giving you the problem. I'd take the car in and have them check. If it's a new car they should be able to fix it or replace the rotors in no time.

So after reading all this stuff about breaking I started to pay attention to my brakes and noticed a slight shake when braking at highway speeds.
So today when I went in for my first oil change at 3250 miles I had them check the rotors... and get this... They needed retooled! At 3250 miles. I'm not happy about that already, but the service manager told me that "rotors these days are made with crappy metal from crappy China". He also said that this problem occurs with all manufacturers, but at 3250 miles? Come on that's crap.

I know. Its ridiculous. Mine was even newer. I noticed it within the FIRST MONTH. I've also had problems with a whistling noise when excelerating which took FOUR TRIPS to the nissan service to get it fixed. Actually, after visit #2, when they told me it was "normal", I searched the internet and that's how I ended up on this forum. It was here that I found it was infact a problem, as well as the service bulletin describing how it could be fixed. Gotta love the internet! Glad your problem is now fixed : )
