Consumer Description

The engine in this car needs to be replaced. The main bearing is failing, head gasket blew, and coolant has leaked into the engine. About August 30, 2023 I had a sudden coolant loss followed by temperature spike. If the engine had seized while driving, it could have caused a loss of power and locked up the drive train. After sitting while i tried to determine the coolant loss and temp spike, i made arrangements with a local infiniti dealer about jan 9 with a drop off date of jan 22 or 23. The dealer has confirmed the bearing, oil, coolant issue. There were no warning lights or check engine lights before the issue occurred.
