they fixed my drivers arm rest last year in october. I didnt notice until recently that my steering wheel has a lot of peeling that's more visible when the wheel is upside down.. i was actually going to call them about getting that fixed. its bs if they dont because i cant think of another car that ive been in that uses material that peels off for the places that are touched a lot.

 

There is no tsb on there for that... on infiniti help

 

^ I think that's what I said, lol
It's a crap shoot. Depends on the dealer and their mood. It would probably help to tell Infiniti Consumer Affairs and have them direct you to the dealer.

 

This is what mine looks like (finally got pictures to upload).

Is this what everyone is talking about?

 

^ That is really bad looking. I would have to replace the door bezels even if Infiniti wouldn't cover it. Unfortunately the steering wheel is mucho $$$.

I had my steering wheel/column replaced for another reason all together. When the power column moves into the preset place mine would still move a bit when I grabbed the wheel. It would only move about 1/8" but it wasn't locking in properly so they replaced it for safety reasons. Maybe you guys could try that for an excuse.

 

So, my steering wheel is something different then - different than the peeling you guys are talking about?

And yeah, I need to get the door fixed. Need to take the car in soon for an oil change...will hopefully get it addressed then.

 

Thanks for the helpful info guys- was able to get new parts on the doors. As far as the steering wheel goes, they claim they can't just replace the scratched up area and have to get a whole new steering wheel- and i'm surprised I got them to order it considering the car is 3yrs 7mo old with 42k and its supposedly a thousand dollar part. No complaints! Ride on! If only i can get that stupid fin off the roof of my car i'd be ecstatic.

 

i havent done any door panel stuff but i have had my shifter, steering wheel and that whole cluster shroud thing replaced. i just want to get of the creeks...i keep hearing this popping windshield noise that i cant pin point.

 

if its under warranty...call infiniti Consumer affairs and they will make the dealer take care of it.

 

You mean, the sat radio antenna?

 

^Correct. I don't use satellite radio and hate the look of having a plastic protrusion on the roof that otherwise serves no purpose. Like why do some cars still have normal radio antennas that protrude from the roof or top of the rear quarters when other cars have them integrated into the rear window? Anyway I digress. I'm guessing you'd have to do do body work to cover the hole if you took it off....anyone know of anyone that has done this? Any comments appreciated.

 

Yeah, it'll probably be easier just to sign up for XM... Then that plastic protrusion would no longer be useless...

 

**UPDATE for the SD guys**

just got back from kearny mesa infiniti, walked in and was directed to one of the service people. Walked into his mini-office. Asked me what was wrong and I said my steering wheel and arm rests were peeling and I had some brake judder issues and I would like to get them replaced under warranty. He said yeah there is a bulletin out for them. We walked out to the car so he could inspect (I still had on my tustin infiniti plates LOL). He noticed the steering wheel column was bending outward and said he would add that to the list too!

what he ordered: new steering wheel and column, door arm rest (the rest were fine but he would have replaced all of them), and brake pads and the rotors will be resurfaced.

I really have to thank this site and the people who went out and confirmed they were doing it, saved me a good amount of money and grief

highly recommend this place. I hope I get a g37 loaner

 

My dealer replaced the door handles under warranty, and agrees that the steering wheel should be replaced under warranty (haven't taken it in yet for steering wheel).

I wear only a wedding ring, and am careful with the doors and steering wheel - it appears that a good dealer will work the warranty. Ask!

UPDATE:>> The G is at the dealer right now having the steering wheel replaced under warranty. Win!

 

I tried this once before, but still looking for confirmation, but is this what people are talking about?

Thanks!
