#949 of 1177 Whining noise by bnk Aug 06, 2008 (3:59 am)
I have a 2007 M45 Sport, which I love. The only problem is an intermittent low-pitched whine during acceleration, typically from a stop or going uphill. It is hard to locate, but generally seems to be coming from the rear of the car. It will happen a couple of times during my 45-minute commute. I'm taking it to the dealer soon, but I'm concerned that they won't be able to duplicate the noise. Anyone encounter this or have any suggestions? Thanks.

If I were to guess, it sounds like the fuel pump which sits in the gas tank is causing the noise. Let me know if I'm right....   Intermittent problems are very difficult to pinpoint. If it is the fuel pump, it will just get worse over time until one day in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere in a drenching rainstorm, it will fail. Of course, well before that happens, you will be able to demo the sound to your dealer. Replies to this message: bnk (Aug 06, 2008 8:13 am) bnk (Aug 11, 2008 5:06 am)

Replying to: ghstudio (Aug 06, 2008 7:46 am) Thanks. I was assuming the noise was coming from somewhere in the drive train, but if I can localize it at all, it does seem to be from the right rear, which is the gas tank location. Will let you know.

Replying to: ghstudio (Aug 06, 2008 7:46 am) Took it to the dealer and they couldn't duplicate the noise. Of course now it's back, so we'll see.

Replying to: varix (Jul 28, 2005 6:01 pm) Go back to the dealer and advise them that Infiniti wants to meet your expectations and if they should hesitate, advise them you will write a review to all the magazines that rate Infiniti M the, “Highest Ranked Midsize Premium in Initial Quality.” J.D. Power and Associates. If they suggest not being able to match the color w/ one front seat have them put in two front seats!   Taken off Infiniti’s website. - Reviews - Awards - Commercials   Infiniti M Receives Initial Quality Award from J.D.

Replying to: osbornkg (Aug 11, 2008 7:56 am) You appear to be responding to a post made in 2005. I doubt the poster really cares about your thoughts now that we are in 2008.
#955 of 1177 Re: Update on my M35X [art234] by art234 Aug 27, 2008 (1:23 pm)
Replying to: art234 (May 14, 2008 6:56 am) Here is the latest update on my problem. I had the car back several times for the vibration problem. The dealer has tried to be very helpful but they could not identify. They arranged for the district technical specialist to drive the car, which he did three weeks ago.   They have since replaced the transmission, the front and rear drive shafts, with no success. About 45 mph the vibration starts, and it is very pronounced between 50 and 60, particularly on light to moderate acceleration. The rear deck resonates at around 65 when cold, and now there is a constant hum or rumble above 70.   The vibration is particularly noticeable now on deceleration or gliding, and I even tried putting the car in neutral to decelerate and the problem remained.   Again--the tires have been replaced, which corrected the tramlining issue, but this problem appears to be getting worse.   Infiniti has refused to take me out of the lease, although they did agree to reimburse the tires plus a couple of other incentives.   The problem is distracting to me and sad that they cannot fix it. Except for this I love the car....but would NEVER get another Infiniti.   Thoughts??? I really need some advice here.

#958 of 1177 Warrenty by 442w30 Sep 01, 2008 (5:17 pm)
Hello all, new to the site and have a quick question. I am purchasing a 2006 M35 with 25k on it. Is the warrenty 4/60 bumper to bumper or is that just the drive train? Thanks for you response. Replies to this message: dulfelder (Sep 14, 2008 5:37 am) bcorig1 (Sep 14, 2008 6:11 pm)
