Im really wanting to buy one soon hopefully and was looking st a QX70 Sport with around 80K so I hope its not a common issue. I have an 08 Lexus that had a waterpump grinding and took it to the dealership for an oil change and diagnostic but afydr I got it back it was making a loud banging sound from the front of my engine and a few days later the waterpump went out. I feel the stealership loosened a nolt on the pump pulley or pryed on it but they denied any wrongdoing but quoted me 1000 to fix it. I did it myself for free.99 cause I had already prepurchased the parts beforehand. I know upon inspection of my waterpump pulley a couple bolts looked lije they had a socket on them recently because they were shiny on the corners of the bolts so I dont think I can ever trust another stealership after that incident.

Yeah, I can believe that. I went to a dealership for a transmission fluid change and they claimed to have changed the fluid then when I checked it turns out they didnt even touch it at all. They admitted it after I showed a certain marker I had put just for that reason. You cant trust a dealership anymore , they dont give one damn about service. If they think you are good for it they will ruin your car and purposely cause an issue this way the repair is more than you want to pay and you will say "May as well get another one. Their hope is to sell you a new car and offer you "a good deal" on your trade. Then if you take the bait what will happen is your car will magically be repaired (since they caused the issue) and then it will likely head to auction, if its on lower mileage side it may sit on their lot. Depends on their inventory and needs. Dealerships are a damn scam through and through.

I wouldn’t buy it too costly to make it legal to drive. It was previously declared a total loss. Back in the day, I wanted to buy a salvage G35 coupe did my research it wasn’t worth it to deal with the headaches.
you didnt miss much... Sepia is shit colored... considera 22, alot of leases are getting traded in soon especially those trading up into the gx550... i just picked up a 22 premium plus Certified Pre Owned for 50 out the door... included the extended warranty and 2 years of free services.. also had new brakes, battery and tires as part of the L-Certified process
Hi Orlando,watch your video a lot,will be buying a used qx70 with 56k miles next week,if my water pump do go out in the future,how can I apply the infinity good will discount for all the parts?thank you so much.
I was told Infiniti Goodwill applies to a “repeat” customers. I’ve been buying/leasing cars from the local Infiniti dealership for years. However, it can be done with on case-by-case depending on the nature of the problem and if the dealership submits a goodwill request to Infiniti or the regional representative.
@@orlandojacinto1 Thank you for taking your time to respond my question and keep up the good work,hopefully the qx70 I am going to pick up this week will be trouble free for long time,qx70 is a very rare and special vehicle.
@chenwilliam5036 Thanks Chen! Good-luck with your QX70 it’s definitely a special vehicle.
@@orlandojacinto1 Thank you Orlando.
Just bought a 350 F Sport in infrared, and it is beautiful. I love the 19 inch black chrome rims that came with it. I can't stop going to the garage just to look at it. It's probably the best-looking car I've owned so far.
😂 I did the same thing constantly going to the garage to take a look. My only regret is not getting the panoramic view cameras and no memory package. Congratulations!
Bought my 17 GX white with sport pkg with captain 2nd row seats at carmax for $26k. Coulda gotten new but I do not like car loans so it is paid in cash. New TNGA platform I do not like. Added bronze trd pro wheels and it looks good!
Yeah interest rates are high. I want to test drive the new GX550 before deciding.
After 1:16 i couldn't watch it. The soundtrack is unbearable. I even unsubscribed. Not sure why you would need to play some dumb, cheezy music. Whats the point? For what?
Ok
cheers buying a 2015 Qx70 tomorrow. Stereo needs replacing, anyone had experience replacing?
I’m sure there’s a how to video available.
Anyone had experience with replacing stereo, mines broken.
No but I’m going to find the proper tools to do it myself when it does break.
You can still get one.
Not many left.
@@orlandojacinto1 Now you have me thinking about getting one as well, despite the gas mileage!!
It’s a nice SUV. I asked my Lexus dealership to locate one in Nebula Gray Pearl maybe do a dealer trade. Seems unlikely I can get one because of markup.
My wife got hers in 2022 and she loves it. Build like a tank, and the drive is really smoooooooth. Driving on the hw we average about 21 mpg at 70 miles per hour.
When I test drove it was very smooth wasn’t not tippy at all when taking corners. 21 mpg that’s really good.
Can't procrastinate! I got mine a couple of weeks ago, and took it today to Lake Arrowhead in the snowstorm. The ranger waved me to pass, AWD, M&S tires and no chains needed.
Nice congrats! No GX460s left at my local dealership, they’re waiting for the first allocation of GX550s to arrive all have been sold.
I ordered 550 and canceled it. The overtrail is marked up 20k. 😮
@leslie4950 😮What part of the country? There is waiting list of 100 people at my local Lexus dealership, everyone put 2K down as a security deposit.
Great information,going to purchase a used 2017 qx70 with 55k miles soon,does the qx70 uses cvt or traditional transmission?thanks
Happy this video helps. I recommend watching my other QX70 videos. It has a 7-speed automatic transmission.
Just bought a 2022 q60 red sport. Doesn't have tow hook but has the wrench.
I had to get a tow hook ordered.
I have the 18 luxe .never been happier also an LS 1 350z . It's an 04
Nice! I surprised how quiet the engine is at idle. Wish they would start making the Q60 again.
Really enjoyed some of your videos that popped up in my to watch promotions from KZread. I have been looking to add a 3rd car to my already owned vehicles and had been looking primarily for a gen 1 fx35 and gen 2 as well. Many tell me to go with a gen 2 but I’ve been finding many sour deals upon vin checks, etc. upon watching this video I see something to watch out for in a potential buy of an fix to use for commuting. Any advance/ signs you could give me on a potential buy of an Infiniti fix and what to look out for?
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed the videos. The 2nd gen FX overall is a good car. I’m surprised I experienced all these issues, I think mine was 1 of 500 that came off the production line that got some bad parts. Hard to say what to look for potential issues that may come up? Check online for FX37 and QX70 issues, I was surprised about some issues that people posted similar to mine.
I want this Car so bad. I’m 44 years old and life has slowed down for me. It will hurt so bad to get rid of my Old Honda CR-V and 8th Gen Honda Civic Si, but I’m ready to just have one car and this Lexus checks a lot of boxes.
The IS350 is one best cars I’ve ever owned definitely keeping it long term. Smooth and reliable. Just the right amount of tech for the price point.
Helpful video! Just purchased a 2017 QX70 that had only 39922 miles on it. Hopefully its a good one.
Nice congrats! Glad my video helped. My QX70 is still running great even with recent the issues just keep up with regular scheduled maintenance you’ll have years of worry free driving.
Silly whiny video
Thanks for watching
My wife and I just bought the luxury in this color with the ecro interior. The best ride I've had in my life. So glad we got it! Thanks for the great video. I just dont trust the V6 turbo set ups. This engine is so smooth and its extremely de-tuned for longevity.
Thanks, I’m glad you liked the video. Congratulations on your new GX460! Same here not a fan of the V6 turbo, I prefer the V8.
Get a wire brush and paint it so it won't rust again.
Already bought one.
My 2011 FX35 (QX70) is at 69k miles and has not had a single thing go wrong with it in the 13 years of ownership. It has always been parked in my garage from the very first time I brought it home from the dealer, and I baby the hell out of it. It’s been the best and most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I am now about to pass it over to my 17 year old son in mint condition and I will be purchasing a new vehicle. If infinity had a new version of the QX70, I would get another in a heartbeat, but unfortunately they let it die on the vine.
It is unfortunate Infiniti discontinued the QX70. They made the decision to go electric not a smart move imo. As far as, my QX70 I took care of it kept up with maintenance. Regardless of the issues I still like it. Glad yours still in mint condition.
I put a radiator in my 2015. 160k and like new. Dealers suck. At 3500 they still made money.
Yeah some dealers suck but not all.
Hello how to cheang Infiniti QX70 3.0 Transmission
Ok I will make a video.
I agree, the heated seats are not quick to heat. My work Explorer seats heat up quickly
It least it works. 👍
Hey. I just picked up an infiniti qx70 2015 last week yesterday i was driving and i saw smoke cmg out of the engine immediately stopped and checked seems radiator leakage. And then dropped it off at the agency because i have warranty. They say they only have to replace radiator but is there any possibility of knowing about transmission going bad? Cuz am worried they might hide about transmission
I’m not sure. @noahplays3698 just had his transmission rebuilt, coolant leaked into his transmission. This has me worried because the repairs I had done were out of warranty. I only paid for labor cost not parts. I had the transmission valve body replaced but the transmission is fine.
By the way I got the transmission rebuilt at a transmission shop $4,600. Radiator was under $1,000. Transmission rebuild included new valve body and all new parts.
Thanks good to know. Dealership would charge more for this work.
I commented on your video before. In 22 I had the valve body replaced at infinit dealership. Then about 6 months later I had the same issue you had. Took it in and it turns out my coolant leaked into the transmission. Because they share the same line. Had to replace the radiator and transmission maintenance. Now this year in January I had a tune up and got the transmission rebuilt. It’s driving nicely now. I’m currently at 110k miles. I love my car and don’t want any payments.
Wow transmission rebuilt? I know what you mean about not wanting any payments, that is why I don’t want to buy an another right now especially with today’s interest rates. Just got the rear differential fluid change today, it is due every 30K miles. Just passed 85K miles it’s running great.
How much was the transmission rebuild? I'm looking at a 2014 with about 112k miles.
My 2013 FX37 has almost 180k miles. Everything original, no repairs, just maintenance. Even battery and tires are 8 years old.
Nice!
Nice and very lucky..had several major issues already with my 2013 fx37
Haven’t had any other problems since plan to keep it long term. What kind of problems have you experienced with your 2013?
@@dailyoptions7832I'm not lucky. Owned 2 Infiniti s before FX, zero problems as well.
@rachegreenrg If that is not lucky, I don't know what u consider yourself is being with infiniti God lol
that color is stupendous .
It is. It was a good choice.
What color is this car?
Slate Gray
Im really wanting to buy one soon hopefully and was looking st a QX70 Sport with around 80K so I hope its not a common issue. I have an 08 Lexus that had a waterpump grinding and took it to the dealership for an oil change and diagnostic but afydr I got it back it was making a loud banging sound from the front of my engine and a few days later the waterpump went out. I feel the stealership loosened a nolt on the pump pulley or pryed on it but they denied any wrongdoing but quoted me 1000 to fix it. I did it myself for free.99 cause I had already prepurchased the parts beforehand. I know upon inspection of my waterpump pulley a couple bolts looked lije they had a socket on them recently because they were shiny on the corners of the bolts so I dont think I can ever trust another stealership after that incident.
The service dept told me a radiator leak is a known issue with the QX70, but not very common. I had the work done by service because it was an Infiniti goodwill parts replacement.
Yeah, I can believe that. I went to a dealership for a transmission fluid change and they claimed to have changed the fluid then when I checked it turns out they didnt even touch it at all. They admitted it after I showed a certain marker I had put just for that reason. You cant trust a dealership anymore , they dont give one damn about service. If they think you are good for it they will ruin your car and purposely cause an issue this way the repair is more than you want to pay and you will say "May as well get another one. Their hope is to sell you a new car and offer you "a good deal" on your trade. Then if you take the bait what will happen is your car will magically be repaired (since they caused the issue) and then it will likely head to auction, if its on lower mileage side it may sit on their lot. Depends on their inventory and needs. Dealerships are a damn scam through and through.
Mine did the same thing when I did a muffler delete I just painted them black no more rust. Happy holidays to you.
What brand exhaust did you get? Happy Holidays.
Get some high temperature paint and just paint it. It won’t rust anymore.
😎
wow how pretentious can you be
I’m not trying to impress anyone and I don’t think I’m better than anyone else. I own these cars because I worked hard for them.
