My 2016 QX50 with 34K miles was rock solid until this week....first damn "Click" sound each time i put car in reverse and vice versa (still working on it as im getting parts to do this fix myself), oil leak from transfer case fixed under powertrain warranty and now dealer inspected the car after replacing oil seal on transfer case and told me i should replace rack and pinion and i according to him this should be done rather sooner than later,
Since car is now only under powertrain warranty this is not covered, he priced it at round $2K for parts and labor. Actual parts are more than half of that. as far as labor they need 4-5 hours to do the job.
I mean...rack and pinion done at 34K miles???
I tend to keep my vehicles around 6-7 years and never had this kind of issue so is this "normal" for infiniti?
I personally dont feel anything strange with the steering so i dont know what to think of it.
Do you guys know how can i make sure that fix is realy needed and im not being fooled into paying for something thats not even needed? After all if it is needed then i will just get it done but i would like to make sure that replacement is actually needed.
Anybody???
