SO from researching i have found that my G35 Coupe definetly has the axle click.

I then took my car to the dealership thinking it would still be under the the Powertrain warranty. Of course i was told completely different.

I was told That this does not come under the warranty and i had to fork over $125 dollars for a diagnosis that I already had given to them.

And get this they wanted an extra $382 dollars to fix something so simple as applying grease and replacing a simple bolt.

Of course i left and just paid the $125

I still am really curious if this would fall under the powertrain warranty or atleast be a factory defect that should be corrected at their expense.

Also if anyone could point me in the direction of somehow showing them that they are completely wrong for saying this??

 

You should be covered under warranty for this. When does it expire? You do have a 2006, I assume it's coming up very quickly.

 

damn , i did get a really good deal. Paid only $60 at the dealers "D

my bumper to bumper warranty actually just ended about 2 months ago that why i was kinda of counting on this being covered under the powertrain warranty but i guess im gonna have to just do it myself if i cant get them to do it for free

 

There are a couple of DIYs on here regarding the axle click. Search the site for them.

 

my dealer told me they wouldn't fix it because it wasn't a failed part. if it fails, then they'll fix it... but that won't be until after my powertrain expires. >

 

Dude power train warranty is up in 5 year/70,000 miles. When i took my car to the dealer they fixed it no problems at all. Do not let the Stealership take advantage of you.

 

^^^Should be 6 yr/ 70k miles

 

Does this condition lead to axle failure if no actions were taken to address the axle click?

 

It is indeed 6 years/70,000 miles.

OTOH, is my Infiniti dealership the only dealership that doesn't charge for diagnosis? I brought my car in complaining about an abundance of noises, and they diagnose and fix, then I leave a happy camper paying for just the remedy.

 

Same here. I took my car to Nissan for the radiator fan, and he said there's a diagnostic fee which I won't get back if the warranty doesn't cover it.

Then I went over to Infiniti, he said schedule an appointment and they'll look at it, no charge.

As for the OP, you can probably find a local mechanic to fix it (I had it done for $60).
