The dealer is not taking care of you. I bet they didn't replace but did some patch work to muffle the sound. Have you tried another dealer?
I hear the click on hard acceleration in 2 and 3 rd gears when below 25mph. Sure is embarrassing considering the cost and "prestige" of this brand.
good luck with the lemon claim.

Bye, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Reason: Clicking in the rear axle of the car. Brought it in 4 times, and the problem is back again. Since I've satisfied what I needed to do to file for Lemon Law, I will not be bringing the car back for service. It's very sad, but $hit happens. Even with a TSB out, they still can't rectify the problem.
I already told the BBB that I want out of my lease with full reimbursement of all my monthly payments including my trade-in allowance that I put down to get out of my prior car and they said that it should not be a problem.
I've already established that I will probably go to another car manufacturer. The '06 Lexus IS350 is pretty hot so I might go with that.
I'll keep everyone posted on my Lemon Law process if anyone ever has to go through what I've been going through since April with this car...

I just got out of my 350z after dealing with the lemmon law for a year. It isn't as easy as you make it sound. There also has to be a safety concern with the car as well. I had tire feathering problems, clicking axles, and transmission problems. In the end I settled to keep the car and a small amount of cash was awarded to me.
Good luck

I just got the antidote to the click yesterday at the dealer. Basically the way he explained it was that an extra "padding" is added so there is no play in the axle. They also had to replace all the bolts and nuts in this process. I only heard it once on my car about 2 months ago, but that was enough for me to pull the TSB out. But the part took FOREVER to arrive (I ordered in early Sept, it came in last week) because Infiniti isn't keeping up to speed on these parts.
Oh, and my rear brake pads were less than 3mm so they changed those free under that expanded coverage.

Their pockets are a lot deeper and also they have to note it was a "lemon" or "courtesy turn in" on title which costs them when they decide to wholesale the car. Hopefully it goes smooth and fast for you. Good luck.
You only started the process and it will be a long one. We probably will be seeing you in the G come spring time sorry to say.
One option they have is the right to replace your car with something of equal value. It happened to someone on this board and I won't mention his name but he refused it cause he couldn't get the color he wanted. Needless to say he is still driving that G. It's been repaired but that was after a very long period and he didn't have use of his car for sometime either.
Maybe go to a new dealer for your repair and don't even give them the song and dance about your cars history since they have it all in the computer.
Good luk with it.

That's a pretty significant price increase when you are talking cars.
