Good to see that there are more owners coming on-board now
Mine is a preface-lift version that I got at a very attractive price, back in June '15. Currently running at 8k km. Generally speaking, no major complaints so far. Some of the minor issues that I'm facing so far:
1) Slightly faster than normal wear on the outer side of the front 2 tyres. Brought it back at 3k km and alignment and balancing were done. Apparently, the settings were all off from normal. Car rides better now but still facing the tyre wear issue. Surveyed a few Fluence at the SC service bay and realised that all of them had the same issue (some really bad to the extent the canvas part is showing already). Guys, do share if you face the same issue
2) Slight squeak when depressing and releasing the break pedal - no biggie I guess. A spray of WD-40 shoudl cure it
3) Air con water (condensation??) dripping (3 or 4 drops) when doing long journeys at the driver side (left leg). Will need to get it checked
4) Front two speakers - crackling sound when you raise the volume. Checked with the SC and it seems that it is a common issue when it comes to the preface-lift versions. Have ordered the parts and will be replaced during my 10k service
5) NVH - could be improved further. Aftermarket foam-stuffing solution, perhaps? Anyone has done it yet?
hi.... another fellow owner... our fluence club is expanding... haha....
so far i already drove 11k.... nothing major really.... except the slight squeak of the break pedal... the rest really no... my tyre doesnt wear like wad you described in your case also... is it really that common?
yea... the nvh could be improved further, but i didnt wanna do the foaming yet since i didnt really mind the level of nvh in the car.... engine was super quiet though as expected from Nissan engine....
