Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas??? I have a 2003 infiniti G35 sedan with 45,000 miles on it. Just prior to taking it in for its 45k mile service, I noticed when I shut the engine off there is a pause of one or two seconds then a rattle that sounds like it comes from the front driver side of the engine. The rattle is the same every time, and occurs every time I shut the engine off, whether I've driven 50 miles, or just turn it on then off in my garage. The dealer told me that this is the fuel throttle and is normal. They had given me a 2004 G35 sendan as a loaner and it does not make the noise, so after I mention this they said it's normal for the 2003 model. Hmmm... I am skepitcal. Any guidance here would be greatly appreciated!!!
PS. Why does the 2004 ride so much nicer??? Also, my 2003 has a dead spot when I punch it that the 04 doesn't seem to have. Did they make this many changes from the 03 to the 04? I don't think I'll buy a brand new model car again until its been out at least a year :-(
