So one morning I'm driving to work... and the car feels really sluggish, and is cutting off fuel at 3,500 rpm. Check engine light proceeds to turn on.

Funny thing is, that morning, as I turned on the car, the audio system suddenly changed from playing the AM radio to iPod (without me doing anything).

Took it to the dealership... turns out it was a faulty Air flow sensor, which triggered limp mode, turned on the CEL and threw the fault codes.

I really hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

BTW, my car had about 400 miles on it when this occured.

Has this happened to anyone else?

 

better hope it does it even more so it can become a lemon.

 

wow nothing of that sort with me...yet...only warranty work ive done so far was the rear axle click/chirp that needed a lil lubing and whatnot...im waiting for my exhaust rattle though so i can change that out...

 

my car always changes from radio to ipod when i turn the car on...i was wondering about that....

 

Same here. Only warranty work done so far has only been the axle chirp.

axle chirp? Can you describe that?

 

It's a rather common (can't say that it's normal) problem some of us have/had. When I used to go from N to 1st or N to reverse, I could hear a high pitch ping/chirping sound coming from the rear with the window rolled down. Took it in and it just needed some lubrication.

Is the chirp only apparent in manual trans???

 

I took my car in for the same thing. They more or less told me that Nissan was having the same issue w/ the Titan. It was not a "known" Infiniti problem at the time I took my car in. He said there was no fix for it right now and they were working on it. He recommended I disconnect my ipod to eliminate the problem.

 

Not sure, but I have a 6MT. Don't want to hi-jack the thread, please PM for more detail.

you know why this happened? because you touch yourself at night.

j/k. dang.

 

ROFL!!!!

 

The MAF sensor is very delicate and they are susceptible to damage during install. It's a very easy fix but an expensive part. I wouldn't worry about it effecting the overall quality of your paticular car, it probaby just was intstalled slightly damaged or dirty.

 

actually mine does that too and its annoying even if radio was the last thing i had on..i think mabe it started doing it now ever since ive had the composite AV cables hooked into the inputs in the armrest - maybe thats why it has some stupid intelligence thing to go to it by default

 

My car is doing the same thing, switching to iPod about 5 seconds after I turn the car on. Super annoying.
