Just an introduction and a crazy story about my car

[Naldo]

I am a proud owner of a 2012 infiniti M56 , 33 Living in michigan
in january 2015 i started looking for a replacement for my 06 m35x great car i was just never in love with it, i started looking at he newer M series and fell in love , but with the gas mileage of the m35x 18mpg on the highway if i was lucky i figured i would go RWD and V8 this time so m56 was my preferred choice , i found one that i wanted in a downtown chicago dealership , when i walked in the door in my opinion i got stereotyped , they wanted to run my credit and all my credentials before they would even allow me to drive or see the car , i immediately walked away , i wasn't there to play games i was there to get a car , so i found another both were in the chicago area , miles were a little higher than i wanted m56 tech and sport package , not the s version tho black on black , i call , no hassle at all when i showed up for my appointment it was washed ready and waiting , it to 30 seconds to know it was what i wanted , it was nice and crazy fast, i bought it it had a little over 68k on it , i never had one problem out of my m35x so i didn't bother with the warranty ,

1 week after i buy it it start sputtering , i take it in to my local dealership they say it's coming up with timing chain codes , but they said nothing was wrong , 2nd week i have it it cuts off wont start , im stuck downtown chicago , i take the battery cord off the terminal it resets runs like a top im thinking its a computer glitch, i think all is well , between the second and third week , its tarts to sputter again every time i try to accelerate , dealer believes its just an o2 sensor or bad air filters so i put some new ones in it seems to be running fine , on the 3rd weekend is where it gets ugly , im headed to chicago from west michigan , i get on it some and BOOM whole car cuts off , im stuck in the middle of nowhere , i try start it it sounds like someone is hitting the in side of my motor with a hammer , i look at my milage and im 306 miles past the manufacturer's warranty , i get it towed to the dealership in west michigan , they tell me my motor is trash and its a 15k replacement i freak out , the service guy looks at me and says holy s*** i just found something out in the service notes , i say what he says to me 300 miles before you bought it the dealership you bought if from did timing chains tensioners and guides on that car and i bet they didnt tell you , granted its my fault for not asking for service records prior but i then new why the price dropped for sitting so long it came to them in nov , i bought it in march , none the less he tells me there is no way that motor fails if they did that job properly , so im a it frantic but level headed trying to figure it all out , so i call the dealer ship as well as infiniti corporate , the dealership in chicago sends for the car , they call infiniti , it takes over a month i have no rental they finally gave me a loaner after 2 weeks without a car and thank goodness i always have a second car , 1978 malibu , so the old chevy started right up and i drove that , so finally in may they call me and say infiniti approved me for a new motor i wont have to pay a dime for anything and my car will be ready in a week

nice to meet you folks , hopefully i can gain and give some knowledge where and when its needed

Whoa! Glad it worked out. Welcome to the forum. I bet you are buying an extended warranty now.

[Naldo]

def have one now , the new motor only comes with 12 month 12k miles , what a joke

[DoN_BLaZe34]

Welcome to the forum, that's a crazy story indeed but glad it worked out in the end.

Since you're so close to Chicago and you have the V8, you would be the perfect candidate to go have your car test fitted for an intake system. The entire community would love you for this lol.

Welcome to the forum.

Crazy story...but glad it worked out for you in the end.

And YES, PLEASE TAKE YOUR CAR TO R2C. Our prayers have been answered! Hahah. You would be a legend on this forum amongst the V8 guys if you could go get your car fitted for an intake.

[Debonair]

Haha. Cool story bro now go get us an intake made! Haha!

[Naldo]

lmao !!! i will look into it for sure , its almost time to put up the infiniti any ways why not , i dive a 3 series awd in the winter and man does it suck going from the m56 to that 2.5 geesh

Was it Berman's Infiniti?

[Naldo]

yes it was bermans down town

[Naldo]

Was it Berman's Infiniti?

well which part are you referring to ?

[QTD]

The one on Lasalle St. I purchased my 2011 M37X from them a few years ago sight unseen. But it was certified Preowned. Had it ship to me in New Orleans only problem was a noise issue coming from the wheel bearing that was repaired under warranty a few weeks ago.

Naldo (OP), when you get a minute, check that thread out and post up if you're going to be doing this. Seriously, I can't stress enough how much of a hero you'll be. The V8 guys get like NO LOVE from the aftermarket...

[CRV_33]

Wow that's a crazy story, glad everything is finally turning around for you.

I hope you can pull through for all of us and put all my efforts to rest and finally have something finally made for our V8 motor. R2C is located right outside of Chicago, I wonder if you can make a detour on your way home. But just a heads up, R2C will need access to the car on more than one occasion but they are willing to give you a free intake system in return for all the trouble of having them using your car. But from your story it sounds like you are in Chicago alot.

im there every weekend
