Hi everyone, today i went to the Infiniti car dealer in Salt Lake City, UT. Everything was fine with the car (Infiniti I35). A told them that i just want to change my motor oil. After waiting for a while like 1 hour the car was ready. Everything was OK till then. Then the maintenance manager came to me and said that there is many thinks what i have to fix in the car and gave me a list. Keep in mind that i did not ask them to do any inspection on the car. I just wanted to change my motor oil. So when i got the list i saw that the total price to repare all the "problems" what they think there is, was 2300$. Before that i was using the services of another auto repair and the car was just fine. I rejected to pay 2300$ and to fix what they think was not OK with the car. I bought the car 6 months ago and did all the tuneup on it, and the car drives just great. I JUST WANT TO ASK EVERYBODY ABOUT YOUR OPINION. I THINK THAT THOSE GUYS ARE JUST TRYING TO MAKE SOME MORE MONEY.

And one last thing, I hope. When your check engine light comes on, how long does it stay on? When I first got the car I ran the gas very low, it didn't run dry but it did get close. For a couple of days after that, the check engine light came on then went out. Now it has been on for a couple weeks. Is that significant or not?

I bought the car from an Infiniti dealer two/three months ago (I'm former toyota avalon guy) and it runs/looks great. The options are the best I've ever had. Mine is an 02 and only had 54K on the clock. I typically drive my cars till about 100K and them pass them down to the kids. Anyways, keep those cards and letters coming on the CEL, we'll figure it out sooner or later. |

It is a longer schedule of service but the car will be kept at peak performance. |

Replying to: mila2 (Jun 01, 2009 5:28 am) In the Infiniti dealership I was told that it will take from 3 to 5 days to find the part and around 800-1000 dollars all together with the installation. Then i went to a local repair shop. They found the original part next day and installed it. The cost was 380$ and all happened just for 1 day of waiting. Keep in mind that the repair shop where I went is a good place with lots of people going there and they also work in the expensive side. But the infiniti car dealer is not trying to help you as much as possible... they are just trying to rip you OFFFFF.... |

The car out of nowhere lost all power while i was driving. i would press the gas and she wouldn't go over 500 rpm and acted like it was going to die. i idled maybe 500 ft. and then died. abs/TC off/airbag, and a few other lights were on as well. had the car tested and they said i needed a new battery. just replaced the battery after having both the alternator and battery tested, alternator was fine, switched batteries, and was good. a week later i am having the same problem. Please some one help me out? what is going on? car is a 2002 I35.
