Hey guys, my car just took a **** today. My car wont shift into DS anymore. When I shift the **** into DS it still says D, and when I shift it goes to 1 and then goes back to D again. I tried to turn the car off, reset the ECU and nothing is working. It'll shift into 1 for a second and go right back to D. It wont even say DS. The car drives normal but do you guys think it's the tranny or an electrical problem?

I know some of you guys have had problems with this. Can you guys help me out please?

 

Sounds like a bad shifter switch. Time for a dealer visit Robby.

 

^Yup
Do you think it's a serious problem bro?
Something that will take more than a day to get fixed?

Im thinking of going to Riverside Inifiniti.

 

i had this replaced 2xs already.
terry was right, its some switch that gets worn out. this luckily was covered under warranty.
good luck man,

 

That took some weight off my shoulders.
As long as it can be replaced under warranty and it's not a huge a problem.

Thanks man. I'll get this replaced when i get back from Vegas.

 

Can anyone confirm if this is an issue in 07s only or also 08s?
Also, I wonder if this problem is more prevalent for those drivers who use the DS mode frequently.

GL w/ the fix. Riverside Infiniti FTW!

 

no problem dude.

i dont know about the difference in 07 to 08. but i dont use DS mode at all.. i only use the manual shift mode. so that tells you it doesn't matter.

 

my 08 did it for a couple of months. If I shut off the car and restarted it, it would go away sometimes. I left it like that and now it's gone. Last time it happened was in the summer.

 

This started happening to me this week, time for a trip to the dealership. Beshoff FTW...

 

anyone solved but not under warranty?? how much it cost?

 

its a powertrain issue which is covered for 7yrs so i doubt that youre not covered if you have 07+

 

damn!! mine is 2003, do you think i will be still covered, besides do you know where i can refer when im talking to Infiniti dealer.

 

My car is a g35 sedan 2005 how long does the warranty last

 

Probably not for 14 years.

 

Almost a ten year necro. Hot damn, that's a pretty good one.
