** Have posted in the G37 Coupe section but looking for fast responses .Thanks guys **

Hey Guys,

I own a 2009 G37x with approx 24500km on it purchased June of 2009. So I went into the dealership last week for my 24k service and while I was there I asked them to check my transmission as I noticed the harsh downshifts in DS mode. I get a call a couple hours later and the dealer is telling me that my transmission is LOSS of MEMORY.

He said that he was in the process of transferring the data from my transmission to their computers to check to see which version of software my transmission was so that they could provide the necessary update. In the process of transferring at around 80-90% it just stopped apparently. They tried to load it again and it says loss of memory.

He then proceeded to tell me that this is the first time this has every happened and their is nothing in their manual to fix it, so my car is basically not drivable. He told me that he has to call head office to see if there is a solution to fix it otherwise they will have to replace my entire transmission which is more likely to happen.

My question to you guys, has this every happened to any of you and what are the implications for my car now and down the road? I don't have a lot of experience with the mechanics of cars so is getting a brand new transmission good news or bad news for me. Do you guys have any suggestions on how I should approach this situation. Thanks and any input is appreciated.

FYI - dealer covering all the cost under warranty

 

this is the first time hearing this but getting a new tranny is a good thing lol.
