Would they have worked on the TSB regardless? Do they know a car has been built before a TSB has been sent out and therefore automatically fix the problem when the car comes in for service? My worksheet did not mention any such work, though. I saw an old post from you about Peninsula Infiniti, where you mentioned you had received excellent service. Did you buy your car there? I did. So far I've been pretty happy with their performance too.

They usually say things like: "If the customer complains of XYZ do ABC" So if you didn't mention any buzz in the glove compartment, I don't think they'd have been likely to have applied the TSB. Pete

Replying to: boz94086 (Feb 08, 2006 4:49 pm) On the buzz/rattle issue. I want to strongly encourage you to isolate those noises as much as possible and get the dealer to handle them. It would help to isolate them if you could get someone to drive while you move your head around the car, pressing and prodding at the source of each sound. Once you get a good reproduce case for each issue you should ask to take a test drive with the service tech (or manager) to point them out. My advice is to be really, really persistent and get it completely handled. The fact that infiniti has technical service bulletins on noises indicates that they care about it as much as you do. Once you get this resolved, you'll totally enjoy the car, as you deserve. Pete

Replying to: cdnpinhead (Feb 08, 2006 6:10 pm) My take is that the vast majority of M's have been absolutely trouble free. I've had two infinitis and they've both been perfect cars. A message board is the first place one goes when they have a problem, so you really can't draw any conclusions from the few posts on that topic. If you want to see a lot service problems (and I mean more than a buzz or rattle) get a mercedes or BMW. I have, and the problems are non-stop. Pete |

Replying to: pete_l_p (Feb 08, 2006 5:38 pm) Now taking a step back, these things are minor. Very minor. They are annoying, but there could be bigger problems (knock on wood). Sometimes I wonder if I'm not actually looking for trouble when there is none. It looks like I spend more time listening to these buzzing sounds than actually enjoying the car. Ridiculous... But when everything is quiet I'll be happy nonetheless :o) |

I am curious what thoughts Pete and others have..... I have been considering a M45. One of my concerns is that this is the first model year. I once bought a new model,first year, and swore I would never do it again. Of course that was a Ford........ Do y'all think most of the glitches have been worked out or is there benefit in waiting for the 2007 model. I tend to doubt that Infiniti is going to make big changes for the next model(such as adding a higher gear), but of course this is an uniformed guess. So to cut to the chase, do I consider buying an Infiniti now or later? |
