From the manual: Slip Indicator Light. This indicator will blink when the VDC system or the traction control system is operating, thus alerting the driver to the fact that the road surface is slippery and the vehicle is nearing its traction limits. This is what I was trying to explain. It's not your transmission slipping, it's just the VDC kicking in to keep you glued to the road.

Replying to: scottm123 (Jul 23, 2007 4:51 am) Thanks for testing this out...did you get the engine cutting power for a couple of seconds too? Hmmm, so you had it happen in M mode too? Read on for some interesting news: Turns out when I was getting the sunroof molding fixed, my Infiniti service manager knew about this "occurance". He claims they are amassing more data but that in essence there is apparently a pressure sensor in the transmission that may be programmed incorrectly. He would not confirm this in full but we all may need to "stay tuned" to see if this becomes an update. I asked him if this is occurring on the G35 (non-X models) and he hasn't heard of any reports...the plot thickens! Well, I've owned many cars including an M3, Audi Turbo A4, Eclipse Turbo and none of them ever cut power when accelerating from first into second like this. Not a huge deal, but one I would like to see corrected if it is indeed an issue...just love this car though! Thanks again for testing Scott. Oh, and I knew the transmission itself was not slipping, I just thought it odd on a perfectly dry road in a straight line the car would detect slippage of the tires on the road and cut power...

Replying to: ripmaster (Jul 23, 2007 12:54 pm) They're very much on the tech side of things there so maybe I'll get some more info. I don't know if it's necessarily sensing slippage. I just caulked it up to the tranny knowing more than I do, and maybe it was cutting power to ease on the wear of first to second when under such stress. Who knows...

Replying to: scottm123 (Jul 24, 2007 4:06 am) Anyhoo, this time the Service manager himself took a ride with me to hear the noise and I brought up again the pause when accelerating. He said he hears this 5 times a week, and he guarantees there will be a technical service bulletin within the next 6 months to address this.  He said it was worse in the G35 Sport, which contradicts what I was told before but acknowledges that "That isn't right"! He said it drives him crazy...  It seems that my rattling noise could be broken glass coming from within the space hull beneath the vehicle...my question is: on a supposedly brand new car how is there broken glass already? Things that make you go Hmmmmmmmm... But enough about the things that need fixin'; I think it's time to bring up something positive  I just think the sound of that engine is simply sweet music. Anyone else agree?

Replying to: scottm123 (Jul 25, 2007 8:53 am) Got my Nuvi 660 and that's really a nice little unit,. I'm impressed. You can't speak destinations to it like with the Infiniti Nav package but it does just about everything else including Bluetooth, etc. |

I hate the manual mode in my xc90, it ultimately shifts when it wants to anyway lol...tried it in our new G, and it did work better, but I doubt i'll ever use it...ultimately, if I'm not pushing in a clutch...it's not a manual lol.

Replying to: mrnick2 (Aug 01, 2007 6:23 pm) True, but since the G35x didn't offer a 6-speed, I have to settle for the Auto. Comparing it to the IS and the TL, it's night and day. There is no shifting unless I tell it to. The others can't say that. It holds the gear to red line and never shifts... unless I hit the shift. (It will downshift if I forget, but you have to be very low in RPMs for it to happen - Moron Proof Safety Feature) It's the next best thing to having a manual. |
