I have 65,000 km on my '03 Coupe still under warranty until 80,000 km. Does anyone know if this TSB is covered under my warranty or will I need to pay anything? I brought my car in for a TSB regarding a rattle at 45,000km and the dealer made me pay a labour cost because I was past 12 months on the car. He said TSBs are not Recalls so I still have to pay to have the service done. Is that true?

 

Hey tdotG, your dealer ripped you off. Those repairs are done under warranty, there's no cost. Call infiniti consumer affairs and complain.

 

i went into the dealer at around 20k miles on my car and it was lowered on HKS coilovers...they replaced it without hasslin me bout lowered suspension...it was done at the montclair dealers next to pomona...try checkin there...and ask for keith and tell him josh recommended him

 

what did they replace?? was the issue fixed?

 

Old thread. But at 59,000 miles with my new wheels this started happening to me. My warranty is up, what should I do about it?

 

i have the same problem when i start to accelerate and same thing while getting on the brakes..i hear this freaking noise.. the noise is coming from the rear driver side.. i read this thread and there are many different solutions.. my car is no longer under warranty..

now what is the problem? is it the rotor making the noise? is it the Outer Axle Joint? or is it the Wheel Bearing?
OR
can i just replace the rear sway bar link?
OR
is it loose suspension parts?

can some one please respond and help me out

 

It sounds like you simply need the rear axle click TSB.

 

Mine is doing the same thing. So this is covered under TSB?
Either way i will need to get this fix because it's getting fkn annoying.
I still have about 15K left on the extended warranty so hopefully that
will cover it if it's not covered under the TSB.

 

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNN Check this out..



G35 RECALLS & TSB's


[B]Here's a comprehensive list of G35 RECALLS & TSB's I found on a BMW forum.
Some guy on there was dissing the G35. But it kind'a backfired because several BMW guys who had G35's argued that they really liked the car & had very little trouble with their G's...

In the Four Years I had my G35 6mt Coupe, I had the 6 sp.manual trans. replaced, a window grease TSB & in for the Fuel Line recall. Besides that no problems with my G.
It was a Great Car and I wish I could have afforded to keep it but needed the down payment for our new BMW 335i convertible.

Anyway I thought this was some good info, just go down the list & see which ones might apply to your car...most all of these apply to "2002 & 2003 G35's"

I love the driver!!!! This clicking started for me in the last few weeks. Going to call the dealer today and get them to fix it. Woooooooooooooo.

 

will infiniti still fix the recall if the warranty has expired?

 

I have an 05' Coupe that I bought used with 38k and the clicking noise has been occurring since day one. I am bringing it in Monday morning for the dealer to take a look at it. I have read that some of you brought the TSB with you and I would like to do the same because my dealer sucks. If they can get away with just greasing rather than performing any replacement then they will. I tried the direct link above, but it brings me to a Nissan website that requires a password. Am I doing something wrong? Is there another way to get the TSB?

 

First of all let me say 'what's up guys?' First post here. I don't have a G35 but I do have the same problem with my 2003 M45.

To Sals G35 Coupe: So did you end up getting your G fixed? I also am out of warranty and curious to know if a TSB repair is no charge or not. As for your problem with that direct link, I also had that problem so this is what I did:

1. go to: http://www.infiniti-techinfo.com/
2. register on that site
3. log back in then in the left side select 'Technical Service Bulletins' from the drop down menu.
4. click on 'G35 (V35) 03-07' then 'RA - REAR AXLE & SUSPENSION'
5. Then you should see the service bulletin ITB5002

Hope this helped and I'm gonna call the dealer tomorrow and see what they say but if anyone knows if this TSB repair is free even though the warranty expired, please let me know, thanks in advance!

 

this forum is awesome... I just noticed the clicking today during acceleration from a stop. It was there months ago but I never bothered with it.. Did a search on the forum and got loads of information.

I'll be taking mines to the shop this week, thanks!!

 

I followed the TSB by greasing the axle end and the ticking/clicking noise is still noticeable. Should I try replacing the axle? I am also unsure if my rear wheel bearing is shot??
