*FIX for high-pitch frequency noise*
#121
Another issue with Infiniti is the prehistoric Navigation. The voice recognition is worthless. I say Oregon and it says Florida. Infiniti is going to have to do a lot of work to earn my business back if ever.

Voice recognition isn't a perfect technology, and it relies on the user to have perfect diction, etc. If your accent or the tone of your voice isn't in the middle of the bell curve, it might have problems with how you say "Oregon".
I've always thought of the voice recognition as more of a sales gimmick anyway. By the time I go through all of that crap, I can just enter it by hand.

infiniti guy - not quite sure how Infiniti let your issue go to BBB court since there is a fix out for this. several member, including myself, have already gotten it. but either way congrat on winning your case! now you can get a 2010 g37s with the new nav (but sounds like your done with Infiniti)

The nav in my 2010 has been flawless. In fact, it's far better than the system that was in the Lexus I just got rid of.

That is poor technology. My 05 BMW 545I never had this issue.

Well, Now Infiniti has a bad wrap and they are dealing with it. I can't wait to turn in the car and see their faces.
I have the last laugh now .

There's no winner here. Infiniti loses a customer, you lose an otherwise great car. Good luck with your next purchase.

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up....
The noise has returned, but it is much quiter.
How do I know that it's the noise and not something else, well it is gas pedal dependent and once you've heard this noise before you'll be pretty attuned to it...
What am I planning to do? Just wait, and hopefully it worsens because if I brought it in now it would be easy for the techs to say that they don't hear it.
I'm really starting to hate this car. Anyone experince this?

yeah the service guys should have a stethoscope in their shop, go for a test drive with one of the tech guys and have them listen to the ecu with a stethoscope for the noise

How is a stethoscope going to help them hear a frequency they can not hear? That seems to be one of the bigger problems with getting this identified, a lot of people can not hear that frequency.

My car is going in for this fix next week. The service manager said that normally he can't hear high pitches but was able to hear mine right off the bat and was even able to hear it over the radio! He did mention that the reported fix was to swap the ECM.
I'll let everyone know how it turns out when I get my car back. Wish me luck.
