Update on MY high pitch noise.

kdo2milger

thanks for the update Roo...

im curious though why some have this issue and others dont...

and if nissan knows what the issue is then why dont they just replace the ecu to see if the noise goes away...

One member here had his ECU replaced but the problem was still there. From my understandings from the Nissan tech is that they would almost have to rewire the entire car to find the problem. There seems to be no correlation between build dates or vin numbers.

Minor annoyance. Whatever Nissan. I've gone over to the Infiniti FX forum and asked if anyone has this problem. My '09 FX doesn't have the problem, and it sounds like noone else does either.

What was interesting was someone had an EX35 loaner and heard it loud and clear. This was before knowing this was ever an issue.

Roo, did you ask to swap cars, or ask for your full purchase price back? I would think they'd say if you wanted a swap, they'd just say to keep your car with a cash reward. If you asked for full purchase price back, they'd just do it. I can't stand this noise and don't think of it as "minor."

Nissan, if you're reading, FIX THIS FAST. I'll be sure to take my sister's EX35 in as well. My FX, I'm not taking it in (nor will report it) unless I can hear it... which I can't. That just shows you that I'm not just scratching for a complaint. Good luck Roo. Nissan said they're working on it, so I'm not going to sit and fight. I'll wait for a little while. I still trust them. I know, Roo, you've had it. Did anyone say that they are working on the fix for you?

(Roo, I've asked you two questions in this thread.) Thanks man.

My thoughts exactly, but I was happy that Nissan admitted the problem and didn't try to deny it. With the letter I got, them admitting the problem to my attorney, and the settlement offer I am confident in winning.

When I first brought it to my dealer they tried to tell me that noise was normal and nothing was wrong. I asked them to drive another car on the lot and they said ok, the noise was not there. I asked them at that time if I could swap cars but they said no, but again I went through my dealer when I should have called Nissan. At this point I am going for a complete buy back, I am not interested in keeping this car with all the problems that have arised. Something else that pisses me is the latch sticking. It really sucks to go to your car in the pouring rain after leaving the grocery store and you have to put your groceries on the wet floor so you can use both hands to open your hatch. And now your bags are all wet, things spilled out etc etc. It's even worse when you come out of the dry cleaners.

Nissan told you they are working it? I have not heard that, but then again Nissan cannot contact me after I hired an attorney. Last I was told is that there was no fix at this time.

I believe I answered both your questions.

This issue continues to really anger me. The noise in my car was super loud today that my ears are still ringing hours later. It ruins the car for me, and I consider it the worst problem I've ever had in ANY car. At least the problems I had in other cars were fixable. As you state, the issue is as I suspected - way more involved than just the ECU. I can have the noise for days, then suddenly, with no rhyme or reason, the noise will disappear for a day or two.

Roo...if your's is as loud as mine, what you need to figure out is a way to measure the DB level of that sound to prove it could cause hearing damage. That would be the game changer. The guys on the G37 website have taken the first step towards identifying the frequency, now what we all need to do is get equipment that can accurately measure the sound level at that frequency. We at least need to prove that the noise is loud enough to cause a distraction which would make the car unsafe to drive. That would also be a game changer in getting a fix.

I myself do not have the time to do that, I work 12-13 hour days and the last thing I want to do is test on my car. If someone can get this done PLEASE let me know.

And like I have said in many threads, HIRE AN ATTORNEY! Even if Nissan comes out with a fix you will be compensated.

I think the intensity varies either by car or by an individual's own personal hearing.
