@ 27K So I was getting off the freeway, hauling ***.. make the left turn @ about 50-55 and the car just goes non-responsive!! Everything shuts off including of course power steering!! Anyhow, long story short.. I called Infiniti. They're gonna take a look, but they've been having a lot of people come back with same problem. Anyone been through this yet?? I'm if Nor Cal.. Bay Area.

 

lost the power steering too?? dam... no problems now but i just got over 20k miles

 

I have not heard of this happening before

 

some G's with CAI's have this problem, but most of them say it happens at highway speed, when they put there car on neutral.

 

i had an aem cold air intake, and this has happened. i lost all power and the engine would not rev past 900rpms. they said my throttle body was shifted or broken, forgot which, but it happens. at least its covered under warranty!

 

Yep. Do a search and you'll see alot of G's with CAI going dead, also while turning off the off-ramp.

 

ill stick with my ztube + k&n drop in

hope everything works out for you though

 

I had mine replaced at 7k. I brought my car in for an oil change and when i got the car back, i noticed the "Service Engine Soon" light on and let the service writer know. They took the car back and they looked up the code. Said the TB needed to be replaced. Also said this was a common problem and it's a fairly easy fix. Something goes weird with the sensors.

My engine is stock, BTW. So it's not mods that cause it.

I'm just happy it happened while at the dealer and not while driving.

 

Yep happened to me back when I had the AEM intake. I tried EVERYTHING and it would still do it. I took it off and after that everything was fine.

 

Really? Despite the aftermarket mod and they still covered? Hmm I haven't encountered warranty related issues with Infiniti up until now. However, Nissan was really good when I had my 02 SE-R Spec V. So it's a common problem with AEM?? I'm gonna have to switch.

 

mine did this too.. about 15k miles. it went into limp mode.. systems (power steering, etc) still worked tho.. just the engine was limping. threw the SES light. Took it to the dealer, they replaced the "Throttle Chamber"

 

30,000 miles on my stock 04 5AT. Pulled out from a stop and car barely moved. Slip light, VDC off light, and SES light came on. Turned car off and restarted. All seemed well except SES light was still on. Took to dealer and it was my TB. They replaced during my 30,000 mile service.

 

happened to me too but be4 i had an intake, car went limp it wouldn't rev past 2k rpms, infinti replaced it under warrenty though

 

mine happened around 30k miles with a TT installed while reving at about 6500-7k.. and all the sudden... poof.. shutdown lol.. but incredibly infiniti replaced it free of charge because apparently my TT didnt cause it

 

Good to know. I dropped my G off late afternoon yestersday. I explained the problem to the guys their resoponse was "can YOU duplicate the problem"? I thought to myself.. sure let me kill myself in the process. Anyhow, they seem shocked and my discovery.. they'd get back to me when they found something.
