Has anyone with a G50 had any trouble getting a maintenance/repair history from Infiniti?

what do you mean by 'trouble'? when was the last time your VIN hit an infiniti service system? they don't keep the records forever....

Well then, thanks for the heads up. I figured with all the modern improvements and the cost per GB dropping that storage wouldn't be much of a problem in today's times. I haven't called Infiniti directly yet. It was late Friday night and the main office was obviously closed. I just talked with a buddy of mine that works at the local dealership who said that they apparently purge the system after so many years because the VIN was not recognized when he punched it in. I wasn't sure if maybe they transferred the records to another form of storage off of the main network and that you would have to call to request a record search.

the purging fits with my most recent experience, but admittedly, i did not call central infiniti to do a records search.

The record of the VIN will still be at corporate, however, that doesn't assure that the service records will still be there. I am sure between dealerships there have been a few system updates/upgrades in the 20+ years so I would think that the best you might get is history of purchase but not service.

The last time I pulled one was probably in about 2006... not sure what's happened since then.
