That sucks my fellow Iowan. I love the service I get from Willis in general, but a couple of months is too long to suffer crappy performance (now that we know there's a recall). I wonder if they can just buy the parts from other dealers that seem to have them or would consider shipping the car to Chicago or any other major city that's ready for the job.dmclone wrote:They just told me that it would be a couple of months.
Hahah, ya snooze ya lose! I've had mine for a few weeks so probably.DredM56 wrote:You stole my appointment. No you probably had it first. I was supposed to drop mine off today but they rescheduled for 2 weeks because they already had one scheduled today.
I assume you brought it to lia Infiniti I see you're from albany they're the only one around.
Don't know if this is the worst, but my transmission started acting up because of my timing chain being stretched. If I tried to accelerate too quickly, like passing someone on the interstate or taking off from a red light, the car would just bog down...so yeah, it was pretty bad.EdBwoy wrote:dmclone wrote:...Hope this doesn't happen to any of you 5.6 owners, but I wonder what's the worst documented thing that has resulted from the timing chain issues.

This has seemed to be happening to me lately. Let's say I take a corner at 40mph and give it a little gas on the ensuing straight, the car doesn't seem to gain speed...I have to give more gas and then it (without changing gears) surges and then drives fine. Noticed it within the last month or so.armybrat wrote:

As far as taking your car in for the recall work, only way to get a new engine is if the oil jet hole is too deep. They check it with a go-no go hole gauge pin. If it goes in more than 3mm, they replace the engine. AFAIK, I haven't heard of anyone getting a new motor.
Yep your transmission will be affected by a loose chain...it's affecting your exhaust valve timing so the transmission doesn't know quite how to respond (that's what I was told when I took my car in)...well you shouldn't have that problem once you get your car back. When I'm going to work, my exit ramp off of the highway going north does a 270 degree circle and crosses over the highway going west. Now I'm running the OEM tune in sport mode, so as I'm slowing down to take the corner, the car downshifts so when I give it the gas it takes off like a rocket as I'm approaching the westbound traffic. I do this because my lane ends and if there's traffic, I have to merge left. I haven't tried it in normal mode since I've had my timing chains replaced. Since you're running the Uprev tune you may need to make some adjustments once you get your car back. Anyway, hope you are enjoying the new loaner!Ilya wrote:This has seemed to be happening to me lately.

I asked my rep and she hasn't heard of anyone needing an engine either, says so far they've all been pretty much straight forward.
My experience with recall work is that they will let you use a loaner as long as it takes. As you probably know, there's a huge air bag recall going on right now. While my wife's 2012 Acura RDX is on that list, the focus seems to be on taking care of the earlier model cars first (starting in 2003). However, my service advisor told me that if she felt uncomfortable driving her car, they would go ahead and accept her car and give her a new loaner to drive and keep her car on the lot until it's time for her car to be worked on...I'm talking about later on this fall, about 3 months or so.Debonair wrote:I was scheduled to drop my car off tomorrow morning. They emailed me this morning and asked if I could wait until Saturday or next week because they are behind on the recall work. I offered Friday afternoon and as much time as they need. As long as I have a loaner I am good with it taking a while.
Thanks for the info. I don't think I am experiencing any issues so I am in no hurry to get it in, but we will see how it performs when I get her back. Also we only pushed back the drop off date 2 days so not a big delay. This dealer is only 7 minutes from my house too.armybrat wrote:My experience with recall work is that they will let you use a loaner as long as it takes.

So, on that premis, if your car is acting up, and it's going to be a while before they can get to it, I would go ahead and take it on up there anyway

Ah man that sucks.Ilya wrote:Well...I didn't get so lucky. I went to pick my car up today and made it 5 ft.
There is no AC in my car currently and the power steering is out...so needless to say I'm still on the loaner. Everyone from service was gone by then so I don't even know what they found...but a quick check showed nothing amiss. All the belts, etc. were good. Will find out tomorrow.
Can't wait to test my car out and see how she runs now.
Wow. Ask them about their post repair check and test drive procedure. You might want to check all the fluids before you leave too.Ilya wrote:Going to get it now. Supposedly all it needed was an AC recharge and it had no power steering fluid lol. How does one forget to fill that?
Yeah, my service rep took everything and had them test it again and the car is indeed fine this time. She also noted it in my history and gave me a new receipt. Will definitely keep an eye on it.Debonair wrote:Wow. Ask them about their post repair check and test drive procedure.

Also, make them note that they delivered it to you w/o PS fluid in case you experience any issues with it. This is why I like to work on my own cars.
