O.k. just dropped the G off this morning, I went for a ride along with the Tech again. Soon as i started the card it did that funny idle and almost died out. He said he immediately knew what it was. He apologized and said he forgot to reset the idle or something like that. He said the car was trying to learn the idle range again after the reflash. He said the first generation requires them to reset the idle after a refresh but the second generation sometimes did not. So he said it was an easy fix. New tranny is on order and while they have it today he is going to do the TSB on the heat shield and turn the rotors. So I'm a pretty happy camper now. Now I need to look for an extended warranty, I'm open to suggestions. What extended warranty do you guys have?
Oh an I'm rocking a little white EX35, looks like a bubble lol!

Nice i am so glad everything worked out for you, and as for adjusting the idle he is right, on the G you have to do the idle relearn if you unplug the TB harness which i am not sure why the would unplug.
Anyways congrats on the soon to be new tranny and fully functional car, as for the extended warranty i got the Infiniti Elite Extended Warranty for about a grand which covers ALL mechanical and electric systems for upto 100,000mi or 8yrs (had to work on that with the manager ).
Till then enjoy the EX.

This might help you decide on which warranty to get, with this plan you get many other little luxuries as well as unlimited claims and peace of mind that your repairs will be done right with OEM parts.

Everything on the warranty info was reading great until I got to he FAQ-that warranty coverage can be denied if I don't do all the maintenance intervals. I don't do the 15k, 30k, 40k etc. I intend to do the big service jobs but not the rip off ones that change your oil and check everything for $400.00. So if all extended warranties are requiring I get every service interval this will be a no go for me.
Thanks again for all your help!!!

Well i have the plan and do all my maintenance myself and discussed this explicitly with my service manager and he told me as long as i have my receipts it should be no issue and even if i didnt they would have to prove that the service had not been performed which caused the damage.
Remember its an Infiniti warranty not a dealership exclusive, and as per infiniti they can not require you to get the service done by infiniti to keep your warranty they can just enforce you to get it done in time.

I'd hate to say it, but this is one good reason for a lease. I am still on the fence about buying out my lease or getting a new one. If they don't resolve this it is being returned. I figured I would have it looked at while under warranty even if I do return it so that I do the next guy a favor. My dealer is 3 hours away but it should be done.
I'll let you know what I find out. If they change the tranny is it a one day job? I wonder if they will give me a loaner to drive 3 hours home and 3 hours back!!

Mossman, were you ever a member on ExplorerX? If so, I was GordieHowe09 over there.
I love my G, but not enough to keep it if I think they're might be tranny issues. If the situation isnt resolved soon I'll be getting rid of mine for something else. Hopefully I can take all these examples in and get it fixed. Mine's only under warranty until July...

They should resolve this issue. It's not too bothersome to me (and I am picky) but I am more concerned about reliability in this case.
My dealer has been great about the small things that have gone wrong with the car which were minor imo. Heated seat didn't work from new, fixed in one day. Brakes warped, completely replaced. Now the rubber under the chrome on the trunk is squeezing out. They said that was common will change when they look at the transmission (part in stock).
I am happier with this car than any other car in my past. I have had a 98 Prelude, 2001 A4 (JUNK !!) and a 2005 Subie Legacy Gt. This car has been the best and I would buy it or lease a new one. Although I might test drive the 335xi coupe... not sure I can justify the extra money for those 3 little letters though. Also German reliability is horrible. At least the dealer is very close. haha.

I have no idea what explorerX is so would have to say no.

I love the car too, everything about it...actually I can't stand the crappy interior plastic on the door handles, but other than that I really like it.
Only thing I would consider getting in its place would be a new Maxima.

Just wanted to say I have this exact same problem. I had the ECU flashed about 6months ago (for the TSB on rough engine idle) and it made the shudder way worse which made me deal with it this long since I'm afraid another update will make it even more horrible.
However, after reading this thread I may take it in just in case I can get a new tranny, but I don't know about doing another ECU update at this point. I'm down to the powertrain warranty (62k mi) so I don't know if that even covers ECU flashes... I think I may be ready to jump ship and get another car as more and more problems appear.
