it turns just fine when the car is cold and when ever it warms up you cant move the damn thing unless the wheels are in motion...
and the dealership doesnt give loaners..

What do you mean the dealership doesn't give loaners??? Are you overseas or did you buy it from a used car lot?

after a problem like that, i would feel like they would be obligated to give you a loaner. they probably currently have no loaners to issue out, but as soon as one is available they should give one to you.

WTH!!! Which dealership did you take your car to? I believe they HAVE to give you one. That's one of the reasons you bought an INFINITI rather than a Nissan!! Keep us posted!

Loaner is part of the service Infiniti provides. Which dealership is it. Maybe you're a young guy and they pulled a fast one on you.
