Since I got my X (SE model) I've heard a damn squeaking noise (like plastic or light metal) under the dashboard, passenger side. Here are the facts: when it rains, it doesn't sound at all; I drive at least 2 or 3 miles until it starts; WHEN SOMEONE OVER 140LB SITS ON THE PASSANGER SEAT the noise goes away. I already took the X to 2 different service dealers, They could not stop the noise

I had a similar squeak in the same area om my 2006, after replacing a few things under warranty by Nissan because they thought that was the problem. It ended up to be the hood needed to be adjusted and some silicone applied where the rubber bumpers touch when the hood is shut. When getting my oil change I have them apply silicone on the bumpers. Hope this helps.
