3. Climate control button
4. Valve Cover Gaskets
5. New Steering system
6.Lots of little oil leaks.
General comments?
This is a great car, it is well built, and is still rock solid after 14 years. If you are looking at buying an Infiniti Q45, then make sure you have it mechanically checked out before buying. We have replaced, the whole steering unit, the valve cover gaskets, and the button for the climate control, belts, and Fuel pump. A suggestion to all of the owners, have a transmission cooler put in, this makes the transmissions last longer, because the Q45's transmissions are not cooled as well as they should be, this will also cause it to shift smoother. When you get one, you should have the fuel system updated with a new fuel pump, if it hasn't already been replaced. If the fuel pump goes bad, then the pump computer will burn up and cause it to go bad to. The fuel pump costs $300 and the computer costs $500. You should also have a tune up done, makes it run like a champ. This car is fun to drive; really I have the active suspension, which I really don't recommend, because it is not worth the money to fix.
