Regular maintenance is essential to keep your INFINITI working correctly, and it reduces your repair costs by fixing minor issues before they develop into more serious problems. As your INFINITI dealership, we want you to know a few signs you need to visit us for INFINITI maintenance. Signs You Need INFINITI Maintenance at Your INFINITI Dealership Leaking Fluid There are many different fluids in your vehicle, and each of them is important to your INFINITI's performance. The most important of these fluids are transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid, oil, and power steering fluid. Over time, worn seals or damage to the system where they're housed can cause a leak. As fluid is lost, problems will develop. A power steering fluid leak, for example, will make the steering wheel feel heavier as you turn it, while a coolant leak will cause the engine temperature to rapidly increase, and it could overheat. You can usually see leaking fluid, and any leak will also trigger a light on your dashboard that highlights the system in trouble. We'll trace and repair any leaks and replace the lost fluid. more Banging Noises A loud banging under your INFINITI means something is loose, and the most likely cause of the noise is one or more broken exhaust hangers. The exhaust consists of several sections that fit together and reach from the exhaust manifold in the engine to the tailpipe. Hangers are placed along the length of the exhaust to connect it to the frame. Hangers are tough, but they can still be damaged by driving over a solid object, rust, or being hit by hard objects like stones thrown up from the surface. A broken hanger allows part of the exhaust to move, and as you drive, it will move up and down and hit the frame. This is not only noisy, but it will damage the exhaust and cause additional issues. Our technicians will replace any broken hangers and repair any damage that has been caused. Burning Rubber Smell Burning rubber has a harsh, cloying smell, and it's a sign that something is wrong. If the smell comes from the engine, the serpentine belt could be worn, and if the smell comes from further back, the transmission fluid could be overheating. The serpentine belt connects to the crankshaft, and it moves across several pulleys. A worn pulley can cause the belt to snag as it moves, or the belt may be too tight and be suffering from friction damage. The transmission fluid provides hydraulic power to shift your gears, but as the fluid ages, it loses its heat resistance and can burn. Burning transmission fluid can prevent the gears from changing and will damage the transmission. We'll find the problem and repair it.
