I have had the car for less than 3 days and have already had to change the entire throttle body. I still have a day left to decide to either keep the car or to take it back to the dealership. The dealer was extremely nice after I reminded them that I was just going to return the car immediately if they refused to replace everything with no cost to myself.

I had the car looked at by a reputable mechanic and looked through the car with him. It does have 91k mile so it is bound to have some issues at one point or another. I am now deciding on whether there will be another major issue soon down the road.Everything else in the engine bay and other areas looks like it was very well maintained. I am just wondering whether I should return the vehicle and look elsewhere or should I look at this as a freak occurrence and everything else is as good as it looks.

 

why was the TB replaced?

 

I was told that the entire TB was nonfunctioning. I would have tried everything that has been posted in this forum about TBs, but figured I would just go directly to the dealership (it is an Infiniti dealership) to just have the part replaced just in case the thing really is completely broken. They quoted me $600 to replace everything, but did not pay anything when I threatened to just return the car

 

Warranty? Tell them you are fixing it at the dealer so they do it right the first time and have that back yard dealer pay the bill
