MPG Question

[brettpbuchanan]

I recently purchased a 2007 G35 sedan with 17,000 miles from LuxuryMotors in Chicago. The vehicle was deliver with the "service enginesoon" on. I was very angry but was assured by a Luxury Motors employeethat the light would turn off after I got an oil change. After I gotan oil change the light is still on and I am currently getting around14-16 miles per gallon on premium fuel (93 octane) and synthetic oil.One of the main reasons I purchased this vehicle is because of thegood fuel economy this G35 is suppose to get. I drive probably 75% ofthe time on the highway to and from work and am not an aggressivedriver. Sorry I am new to this forum but would appreciate anysuggestions and/or advice!!!

thank you

Take to a local dealer and have it fixed under warranty. At least that what it sounds like is needed. If it is time for an oil change the maintenance alert may be on if enabled, not the service light.

Welcome to Nico!!!

I agree, you need to take it to a local dealer.Did it have a clean carfax?? Did it live in any area prone to flooding??Do you have any service records??

I dont see any way, shape or form, or even an idea behind an oil change turning off the SES light. The light comes on when there is a fault detected in the computer. The dude lied to you and who knows what else he lied about. I wish it was illegal to sell a vehicle with a malfunction. in fact, it just might be illegal in some places. It angers me. When I would get trade ins and do a used car check up, I would make sure that the car would pass inspection and emissions and was in good enough condition that I would buy it. That is my standard. When I fix a car up to be resold, it needs to be in a condition that I would buy it. Go to a dealership and get it checked under warranty. If there is something weird going on, report Luxury Motors to the DOT and any local department related to consumer affairs.

I don't know if this would or could occur on the 'G'. But on one of my Chryslers this happened and it turned out to be the seal for the gas cap. After paying attention to this the problem disappeared, maybe because of the seal swelling or something along those lines.

So you live in Texas and you drove to Chicago to buy a car?

Could have been shipped to him. I live in Washington state but because of the options I wanted the car came from Denver.

Thanks for all of the advice!!! I had the G35 shipped from Chicago to Texas. I hope the dealership will be able to take care of this problem. Thanks Brett

I think it is because there are mostly horses in Texas?
