Nobody is tired of anything. Thas what this thread is about, those who don't like it don't have to read it. Its really strange that some people are happy with the reflash and others are not. COuld it be your dealer did somethign wrong? LEt us know what they say/do...
Brian, How is yours doin?

I have an appt. on the 16th at the dealer where I bought the car NOT the one that did the flash. I've asked (and will again when I get there) that they check everything out, flash me back to where I started or figure out a way to make everything play well together. A couple of people joked about my 2 second lag comments...well I timed it (1-1,000...2-1,000 method) once with someone in the car, it was close to 3 seconds (no sh*t) on that particular instance but for whatever reason that one was particularly bad. Something is definitely not right, my wife's RX350 AWD has less lag than my G does and that was not the case when I bought the car or I'd have been complaining from day 1.
I won't even go into the weird tranny clunk and jerkiness (rapid up- then rapid downshift) that I felt twice in the 3 hours while running the cruise control on a road trip I did on Tuesday morning....hell of way to start my work week
I sure hope my tranny isn't dying on me.

man I'm having the same issues, please let me know what you get... or ask them to push up the appointment... heh
I'm taking mine in next week for an oil change and to ask that they flash my TCM back to my original program. It simply does not want to downshift when I press the accelerator quickly. The car wants to ride in a very high gear all the time, which I understand is for mileage, but you shouldn't have to wait 2 - 3 seconds for it to downshift just to be able to pass a car, make it under a changing light, etc. My car now has ~13k miles on it, ~5k since the flash and I was hoping it would "learn" it's way back to being a sporty car but no such luck. In "D" and to a lesser extent "DS"...it's a grandma bogging down for seconds long before shifting and taking off.
I figured everyone was tired of my complaining on here so I quit posting on the subject. I will let you know what, if anything, the dealer says or does at my visit next week. I just want the car to drive like it did when I bought it as right now it is a LONG way from being there.

Here's a related question. It seems like before I had the flash done, when I would move it into DS mode it would immediately downshift a gear and the revs would go up a little bit. Now it doesn't change gears at all. So the question is, is the car supposed to downshift a gear when you move to DS mode or not?

Mine is going in at 8 AM tomorrow. I'm dreading it already.........I have a feeling they are going to tell me it's normal and also tell me they won't re-flash it back to original TCM program. If so, I'm going to be on the phone with Infiniti.
Will let you know what is said/done.
