I bought a car last year. 08 G35 sedan. Purchased it brand new.

About 2 months ago it started to give small signs of hesitation while starting on very cold days (when temps were under freezing point) ONLY ON VERY COLD DAYS. I would start just fine but would jerk a little. Then one day it didnt start the first time and then started right up the second time. Once the warmed up a little and I took it on the road it will not go over 5 MPH. I turned around and came back home a took my other sedan. I didn't think much of it at the point. But then it started doing it almost every day after it was sitting for few hours, it would start up funny and then not drive over 5 MPH for miles until it was completely warmed up. On warm days it was fine, so anyway I took it to the dealer about month and half ago.

So my car has been there for well over a month, yet they still have not been able to diagnose it, so they haven't been able to fix it yet. They have replaced many things, such as TPS, ECUs, even the throttle bodies and other stuff, but no results. Since there is no error code, they have no clue whats wrong with it so they are just taking guesses.

I spoke to the dealer yesterday, 'no luck' Car has been there for over 40 days now. There next step is that they will tare down the main wiring harness.

I guess their office from TN and IL is involved as well, but even they have no clue.

Its gonna be spring soon and temps are going to rising. Since the car only acts up on cold days, I am afraid they are just going to assume its fixed and give it back to me in spring.

has anyone else heard or experienced this issue?

At this point I am ready to call a lawyer.

I would appreciate any help.

 

A Lemon in California is not a lemon in Maryland is not a lemon in Nebraska. Lemon laws vary from state to state. Contact a lemon law attorney in your state.

 

I did check that.
Owner must allow the shop reasonable amount of time, which is 30 days, if they are unable to fix it, its does fall under Lemon category.

 

contact a lemon law attorney and get the ball rolling for a new car then.

 

Threre you go.

 

also take note that, if your car sits at the shop for 30 days, you can usually have that months car payment made.

my girlfriend is a lemon law attorney, and can handle them for any state. PM me if you would like contact info for their firm.
