I had it detailed today, and as I exited the car wash, the slip light came on and disappeared but it only came on because the tires spinned or something but light never came back on! anyone every had this problem
i am planing to buy 08infinity fully loaded, from a private dealer,it has 54k on it.
checked with infinity dealer ,he said font rotors are 30%, and should be replaced after 10k more miles.
asking 21k$ for it as it is fully loaded.
do you think it is a good buy ?
pls...reply
Any idea what the issue could be? Anyone else having the same issue?
Within a year the paint began to delaminate, not from the front, but from the sides and rear of the car. The (Calgary) Infiniti dealer's response: see if the car had been in an accident and repainted. If not, the paint chips are due to road hazard.
I checked with the original dealer, who assured me the car had not been in an accident. I also checked with CarFAX, with the same result. I took the car to several local paint shops and the concensus was that the paint is not bonding properly to the primer. I asked for a review by my car insurance company. Their response: the paint is not bonding properly with the primer.
I asked for a review by Infiniti of North America and was told I could drive the car to Spokane so that an Infiniti rep could inspect it. I drove the car 400 miles to Spokane and presented the rep with the paint shop and insurance assessments. Their response was that the peeling paint on the sides and rear of the car are due to "environmental road damage" and Infiniti is not responsible. When it was pointed out that the paint on the front and hood is not peeling, and the windshield is not pitted, yet paint is flaking off the sides and rear of the car, the Infiniti rep's comment: "this is not a warrantee issue."
The seat belt retracter guide does not work well. It has a slit that allows the belt to come out of the guide and flop around where it is difficult to grab while in the seat. This is a bad design.
The radio is not set to work at low temperatures (-10 C and below): the static is so bad that you can't hear anything. Perhaps something in the wiring needs to be fixed or insulated.
Overall impression: this luxury sports car is not worth the money, and Infiniti/Nissan North America both miss-represent their warrantee and do not provide the service one would expect of a luxury car.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Since my last post I have added a Borla cat-back exhaust system. Crazy expensive, but the music from them and along with the JWT intake is amazing. Guys on hyperbikes even take notice when I drop down a couple of gears and romp on it. Acceleration is much better as well. The power comes on much more linear throughout the RPM range. I also added 4 new rotors and semi-metallic pads. I went with Brake Performance's Premium Slotted and Cross Dimple Drilled rotors. Makes hard braking a sheer joy on the twisty roads up in the Santa Cruz Mountains here in Cali. Lastly, I went with the newer Bridgestone Serenity Turanza's. I went up to the 235/50/17 size and am finding that they are wearing very evenly and slowly thank god. The grip is great in wet or dry and if and when they break loose, the car is very predictable. At around $1,200 for 4 installed and with all the road hazard warranty stuff, they are not cheap but in the long run I suspect good bang for the buck if I can get more than 40k out of them. Still hate the quality of the some of the interior trim.. On my second shift knob and it's starting to dimple and the finish looks like it wants to start peeling. One spoke of my steering wheel is almost void of that wonder rubbery coating and is revealing a shiny gray base.. Hey, maybe I should just strip all of the rubber off, it will blend in with my Liquid Platinum exterior better. :-)
Still love the baby in general though! Just turned 41k on it!
Peace, good health, and happiness to all, thanks for listening.

Should I worry about this in the near future?
BTW, bad or marginal O2 sensors (particularly the one(s) in back of the cat) can also lead the OBD-II system to think that the cat is bad.
Worst case scenario is a fire in the cat. This is usually caused by unburned fuel being dumped into the exhaust, such as can happen during a misfire, stuck injector, that sort of thing.
To be a little more specific, I've driven to Florida several times. Put a couple of grand this year on our New Mexico trip. Truth is, when we travel business or pleasure, I think about renting a car, but blow it off, being so use to driving my car. I've never had a car this long, yet I've never had a car perform so well.
Thanks to all who answered my inquiry. A further update since my post-after retired for almost 5 years, I decided to go job hunting, and guess where I ended up? At the local Infiniti dealership as a porter in the sales department. And what just happened? My TPM lights up, and I drop it off at the service dept, and go to work. Later I'm told the BCM has gone out, with one of the air fuel sensors. Thank goodness for employee discounts. I was told this was not related to the Cat problem. I talk to the tech, and in all likelyhood, the other sensor would eventually go out as well, although when, he was unsure. Sigh! Anyway, when the right time presents itself, if I see a g/fx that hasn't moved in a couple of months, the dealer will let me buy it at their cost, saving about 2500 bucks. Think I'll wait a while.
i have infiniti G35 and at 100k the differential damaged without any reasons. i bought a new one and i replaced it, after that i noticed the cruise control not working well, its only works between 25m/h and 75m/h however when the speed reaches more than 75m/h the cruise control stop, and (SET) which in the meter after 75m/h comes flashing and the cruise control stop working at all unless i have to restart the engine.
how do I resolve this issue??
i would be highly appreciated your comments
