Need Service on my M...wondering what you guys think

I'm sending this email to my service person at Lia Infiniti in Latham, NY...but was wondering what you guys think:


Here is what I need done/looked at:

  • The wipers seem to be 'off'. Most of the time, I can hear the driver side wiper hit the frame of the window and thus make a 'tap' noise each time it does.
  • Sometimes (2 or 3 times a week), when I first start my car in the morning, the RPM's are about 1,500 or so (normal as all cars start high and then gradually lower as the engine gets warmer). After a second or two, they will drop to like 600 as if the car is going to stall and then will catch itself and go back up to 1,500 at which point it will gradually work its way down to normal (which is about 800 or so) as it gets warmer. Sometimes, it will go down but vary up and down a little as it goes...say 1,500 > 1,300 > 1,350 > 1,200 > 1,100 > 1,200, etc.
    This may be an issue with the Idle Air Control Valve (if it exists on this car) or the throttle body being dirty based on past Nissans that I have had with similar VQ motors (I had a 97 and a 99 Maxima).
  • May be related to #2 - Even after the car is warmed up...if I go past 3,500 RPM or so with my window down...I can hear a faint noise as if I had a turbo spooling up. I heard it today many times while driving with the windows down. It may happen in 4th and 5th gear, but I can't say because by then the wind noise is too great. It is not audible in the car with the windows up...but I can't say this type of noise is normal for a non-turbo car.
  • Lastly...it seems the materials or what not in the passenger side door speaker area, the rear subwoofer area AND somewhere near the sunroof needs some re-inforcing or something broke because there is slight rattles in all those areas when driving (music on or off). The sunroof area sounds like someone took those silicon beads that you can find in those little pouches in a new bookbag (that keep moisture out) and dumped them in the roof liner. Sounds like they are bouncing around in there.

I would also like to make sure the complimentary inspection gets done just in case anything else pops up that I need to be aware of.

Let me know your thoughts folks.
 
Sorry but I hate the dealers. Just thinking of taking my car in makes me sick. Sad part is I have to get a few things fixed too.


Good luck.
 
My dealer is actually pretty good. Definitely would recommend them...IF you have warranty (like I do - Elite).
 
Got the car back from the dealer and replaced:

Driver side seat track
now the seat doesn't move at all.

Hood shocks
not only does the hood stay up now once you get half way the hood goes up by itself.

Replaced blue-tooth
now I don't have that 2 or 3 second delay when making a call.

New mic with re-location panel
It's working much better and the voice command has less faults now.

I'm glad I got the warranty, it was worth it.
