I'd suggest printing out the TSB, reading and understanding it, and taking it in the the dealership with you. This will help.

 

Will do. Since I've never printed one can someone point out where I can get a copy pls

 

Infiniti of Annapolis replaced my battery with the M battery and did the vcv replacement. Started the car this morning after sitting for three weeks, no problems.

Thanks again bb..I already printed the TSB and appointment is also scheduled for tuesday morning. Will keep you guys posted

 

my 07 had 35k miles on it when i got it. the battery was down 1/2 a pint of water.

not many people these days do this, but you should check the water level before you toss your battery. this should be part of your no start diagnosis/work up.

i once restored a completely dead battery in another vehicle back to 12volts just by replenishing the lost water.

 

My 2008 G37S Coupe (with 31,000 miles) sat idle for 2.5 days while I went out of town. Monday morning, it would not start, so I pushed it down the driveway and popped the cluch. Barely turned over for the next two days. Took it to Sewell Inifinti in Houston and mentioned TSB10-010b. New battery - NO CHARGE, plus updated ECU and Vapor Control Valve.

 

^^Nice. I'm going in on Tuesday morning battery has been ok since yerterday. I hope they don't give me bs. Im taking a copy of the TSB with me just in case they refuse to do it.

 

Success! Got mines replaced today and the VCV as well no problems at all. I'm at 19,800 miles if it matters. Jim Coleman Infiniti in Bethesda MD.

 

It's nice to be able to leave your car idle for several days or even a week or more and not have to worry about coming out to a dead battery.

 

Are you using your G-kit that you sale? reason I ask is because I have the kit and someone on here said it was making the issue worse. They took it off and the TSB went away.

 

Attached is the revised PDF from infinitihelp.com for this issue. Excuse me if it's been posted already, I didn't feel like checking every page.

I have had this problem recently. I had to jump my car to start it 3-4x. I use it for mostly short trips and it garages for 24-72 hours now that it is getting colder out here. So my driving style matches. Also I got my car back in late 2007, so I am damn near sure that my Valve is the old style that robs the battery.

I have a loaner now and am waiting to hear back. I am sure the valve replacement, ECU reset and battery replacement doesn't take long, but like the rest of you if they need to order the valve then I may hafta hold onto the loaner for a while. What sucks is this week is the last week of warm (58-65 degrees) weather for us in MI, and then it's gonna dip to the 30s. So I am out a G37 coupe as of now.

 

Agreed. I took it printed out to save them hassle & time and to make my point clear & obvious (that my car fell under the VIN range, problem is identical, driving style matches up, etc.) They can not discriminate against an informed consumer. If they still try to charge you or give you the run around, tell them they are practicing unfair business, that you won't be scammed, and are entitled to your warranty work. All consumers should get the same work done. I shouldn't get for free what you have to pay for, and vice versa. If they still insist tell them that you will just complain to Infiniti Consumer Affairs.

 

Update: They only kept my car overnight, very good/fast service. They have had the new version valve in stock. Replaced valve with new style, upgraded battery, and ECM reflash accordingly. Car was only in the shop for around 24 hours.

 

Your dealer is slow, I took mines and waited took them 1.5 hour to do everything. But oh well what matters is that you got it done under warranty.
