1 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 10/10/2011

The car stalled, needed towing to firestone in elgin. They say it's alternator. This will be third change of the alternator for this vehicle in 4 years period. Battery has been changed about 3 months ago, when the car stalled previously. Yesterday I called Infiniti, got bit run around by them telling me to call Nissan, who told me to call Infiniti. Infiniti told me my VIN number is not included in the recall, and there's nothing they can help me with.

2 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 08/10/2005

My 1997 Infiniti I-30 was having a hard time starting and eventually the car died one weekend and would not start. I spent some time on it and got the car started and drove it down to o'neil auto parts and they put their starting system analysis machine on the starting system. . . Their results were that the car battery was ok and the car starter was ok but the car alternator was putting out 34 amps. Instead of the prescribed 129 amps. I had called Infiniti motor corp. Earlier and Infiniti stated to me that my car Infiniti I-30 VIN #jnkca21d7vt519882 manufactured in 3/97 was not covered by the current alternator recall. Although I have read on the internet in nissannews. Com that the mechanically equivalent Nissan maxima bulit during the period of 3/97 is covered under the recall. Which I find odd because both of these models were likely built on the same production line. Also, on the vehicles which are being handled under the alternator recall Nissan corp. Is being difficult and requiring I take my car 90 miles away to atlanta to the closest official Infiniti dealer (making it clearly difficult and inconvenient for me because paul walsh Nissan in my home town is equipped to easily resolve my auto alternator situation. Nissan and or Infiniti have done nothing to correct the problem. The old part is still available at the moment. Maybe you can encourage Nissan to resolve this situation for me.
