Infiniti I35 Brake and Battery Light on Help please!

[lil754boy]

I have an 02 I35. The brake light and battery light came on a few times on the ride home. Suddenly I turned a corner and the car stop pulling. It did not stop running it just will not move as if it;s going to stall out. I put the car in neutral/park and it revs fine. Now all the dash lights are on. No gears move the car but it's not like a normal trans slip. RPM does not move when in gear no mater how far you press the acelerator. Car does not stall and car does not move. Neutral car revs fine. THIS IS SOME BULL. I am tired of this car. It's killing my pockets.

it's a bad alternator, this has happened to me twice with my 03 I35. Voltage fluctations cause the transmission and all sorts of things to act up. But FYI, if I didn't have an extended warranty at the time this would have been kinda' expensive, like between $400-$500.

OEM alternator from IoS, http://www.infinitipartsusa.com,at 25% off MSRP is @ $263 while a compatible one from AutoZone is $260 (less core price). If you are a DIY guy, you ahve 3 choices:-1.Remove the alternator and have it repaired at an electrical shop. Usually, a bad alternator is caused by bad power diodes. Repair cost is $50 or more.-2. Buy the replacement alternator from Ios and keep the old alternator.-3. Buy from AutoZone or the likes and turnover the old alternator (core). Please note that the quality of some aftermarket alternators are questionable. Once I bought an alternator from Kragen - I have to replace it 3 times until I got a good one. They have a replacement warranty but it's no fun doing it 3 times.

Yes, It was the alternator. $500.00 later and I am back on the road.

Very good! But that's expensive for an alternator replacement. It shouldn't take more than an hour to replace the alternator. Maybe their shop labor rate is very high.
