I had mine fixed last week and all is good *crosses fingers* for now. Had the seat creaking noise fixed (for the second time) and the noise came back. It's currently at the dealer right now as they don't have a clue how to fix it, even after numerous tear-down ane rebuild of my seat
If they say it's fixed and it isn't for my third time, the fourth time I will yell bloody murder at Infiniti, since they said Infiniti won't replace the entire seat so they literally have to fix by trial-and-error

they have to order the bolts that put the rear end back together. They said (not sure I would believe them if it were my dime, but...) that the bolts are one time use b/c the stretch during assembly (similar to head bolts) and *should* be thrown out and replaced each time.
The clicking is the axle getting dry at the spline. At least that's what the tech who fixed mine said.

Axle clicking is a problem that needs to be addressed, don't ignore it if it happens to you.

Call them first to make sure the dealership you're taking it to at least claims to be familiar with the issue (you don't want to be the car they learn on!). Besides, they can give you a loaner if you schedule an appointment ahead of time. Why WOULD you wait?

To those folks who've taken theirs in once for the clicking issue: Was it fixed and remained fixed after the service? I've taken mine to two dealers for the clicking issue (twice) to be fixed, and both times as I pull out of the dealer lot its still clicking like the day before i took it in. Why is mine being stubborn?
