I dropped the car off at the dealership and the next day they were able to duplicate the issue. The Tech said this was normal for a car with 48000 miles and to correct would require a new (refurbished) transmission. The service agent quoted me all of $5600 to repair. I kindly reminded her that I had 5 months of powertrain warranty remaining...
More to follow.
UPDATE:When I contacted the service manager about when to expect a transmission fix the story changed. The manager said the problem was not reproduced. Before Christmas a service advisor had said the transmission hesitation problem was produced and quoted me the repair costs. Shady! Unfortunately all of this is not documented on paper since I was out of town and coordinating over the phone.
The dealership and I both contacted Infiniti Headquarters and they said unless the problem is reproduced there is nothing they can do. So now I will have to leave my car at the stealership overnight. Catch a ride to the stealership in the morning and duplicate the problem myself with a "tech."
