Replying to: mila2 (Jun 03, 2009 4:19 am) My friend, you are may be the only one who is impressed with the infiniti service center. But wait till next time. They will invent 10 extra problems in your car and tell you that you have to fix at least 5 of them and it will cost you much more than 600$.   I have very bad expiriance with infiniti dealers. Always check with other repair shops for the price.

Replying to: derekm99 (Jun 01, 2009 10:14 am) Hi,   I think the below Service bulletin applies to your problem. Infiniti should repair it free:   Drive Train: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL Campaign Number: 02V043000 Dates Manufactured: 07/2001 to 10/2001 Number of Vehicles Affected: 39,000 Model Years Affected: 2002 Date Owner Notified: 03/2002 Defect Summary: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM, THE STOPPER FOR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WILL PREVENT EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT OF THE ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR. IF THE DRIVER APPLIES OVERLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHILE AT THE SAME TIME PUSHING IT TO THE RIGHT, THE PEDAL CAN "OVER TRAVEL" DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE PEDAL STOPPER.   Consequence Summary: THIS WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP TO COME ON AND THE ENGINE SPEED TO BE SEVERELY LIMITED. IF THIS OCCURS UNEXPECTEDLY, IT COULD LEAD TO A CRASH.   Corrective Summary: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW ACCELERATOR PEDAL STOPPER. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MARCH 11, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 OR INFINITI AT 800-662-6200.   Recall Notes: ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
#463 of 522 Old parts should be replaced by atma97 Jun 03, 2009 (4:48 pm)
Only regular change of oil, oil filter and air filter is not enough. No car can run well when other parts are getting old. It’s a mistake to wait until the car acting up to bring to a service center. One might spend a lot more money for diagnostic and repair. The following schedule of part replacement should be carried out otherwise trouble will soon appear:   Coolant fluid and thermostat – 3 years – Not enough warm vent air in winter. Malfunction thermostat might cause engine overheat.   Belts – 70,000 miles – Loose belts make squeaking noise, low battery charging. Broken belts, power steering quits, battery dies.   O2 sensors, platinum spark plugs, ignition coils – 60,000 miles – Check engine light on, misfire, losing power.   Transmission fluid and filter – 30,000 miles – Dirty fluid causes transmission overheat, slips, speed sensor problem.   Battery –6 years – Battery does not hold charge. Weak start, lost of power.   A simple battery replacement will cost only $109 at Sears instead of hundred more dollars if you bring the car to a dealership for trouble shooting. So, it depends on what mileage and what year of your car, one of the above symptom may likely to occur. My 2002 I35 at 120,000 miles has all of the above parts replaced. It runs like a charm. Better yet, I really avoid dealers rip off.

Replying to: bostonguy1 (May 26, 2009 8:46 am) Update... CEL went out a little over a week ago and is still out. Wondering if it has to do with using premium gas (which is recommended)? Being a fugel guy, I'm always trying to save a buck. I guess I'll start to use the premium from now on (or at least till the CEL issues returns).
