okay, i think i've lost all confidence in the brand.

In the past week i've the following problems:
-Super Premature tire wear (5,000 miles on a brand new tires, NOW THEY ARE SLICKS, NO I DO NOT DO BURNOUTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT).
- Passenger side door lock motor decided to quit on me
- Right Rear caliper seized on me, tore up the break pad and rotor.
- gas cap popping thing broke
- Throttle body sensors got fried
- temp guage broke.

this is happening on a car that is WELL taken care of, all recommended maintenance is done AHEAD of time, all extra precautions are taken care of.

Unbelievable how you can go from loving to hating (and i mean absolutely hating) the car is 24 hrs.

I just replaced my front tires from 225/45/18 to 225/40/18 and now my ABS is so ****ed up my ABS, SLIP, and No VDC light all turn on and my ABS gets disabled. Before that happened i hear all these ABS-like sounds and a clicking noise when not on the gas..... can anyone tell me the problem?

HELP! I'm about to give the car away from frustration!

 

Premature wear of tires is common (12-14,000 is about the norm). Door actuators as well as motors go often as well. The rest of your problems seem like real issues. Do you have an extended warranty? It might be time to think of getting one if possible. Good luck.

 

How many miles are on your car?

 

i am a salesman and drive about 1,000 miles a week. i have 118k

 

wow,118k...alot of miles,alot of problems there..what year is your car?1000 miles a week,damn I drive that in almost two months..good luck with everything and hope you either fix it or like you said "give it away".I'll be first in line for the car if you're giving it away for free..

 

lemon?

 

LOL those are common issues and it just happen that you have them all at once hahaha sorry bro. Fix them up and u'll love your ride again. Mine is already 129K =)

 

At 118K miles?

OP, that's a lot of trouble all at one time. Is this the most that's happened in 118K miles? Could just be bad luck on the timing of all of them going wrong.

 

hey guys,
thanks for the responses. yeah i think it all just happened at the same time

so heres what i fixed today:

- got new caliper, rotor, and break pad - Cost $531
- Got oil changed - $40
- new door lock actuator -$70
- Fixed ABS problem by getting two new front tires - $467
- New throttle body on the way $200
- Gas cap poppy thing $27
- Temp guage (**** it, it will fix itself i hope)

my sister backed into a curb, so now i need to re-powder my rims and get new rear mudflaps, realign the now slanted exhaust, and re-align bumper..... and i should be good to go...

wow, i think in the past three months i've spent about 3 grand in the car.... had to sell my motorcycle. **** me, summer will now suck without a bike...

who else here has a bike?

 

its good that u fixed the stuff, the problem u had was normal stuff for the 03-04 g35, it was just a bad timing, hope the G love is back haha

 

My other car (DD) is a 2K MAX SE, cars begin to break down right about 70-80K. I've replaced: front-end parts, radiator, radiator fans, starter, alternator, well you get the picture? The bad thing about cars in this price range, they're very expensive to repair. Even when you do your homework to find parts for the best price, they're still not cheap. Now that you've fixed your car, hopefully it'll be a while before anything else breaks down. Meanwhile, enjoy the ride.

 

temp gauge.. maybe ur thermostat is bad?

 

You sure about this ???

Your caliper was seized? Were you told this or did you have driveability problems?
What does ABS have to do with your front tires being bad? Was the low tire pressure warning lamp on or brake fluid low?
What was wrong w/ your throttle body? I haven't had to wrench on the G much but the only thing I can image on there is a MAP/MAF sensor and maybe a TPS (throttle position sensor).

 

how did you get the door lock actuator for $70? I just got quoted today at a mechanic for +$300!
