Hi-
Thanks for the info.
I have a 2009 EX35 JOURNEY AWD with full electronics/nav/Bose package.
Just yesterday the high pitch whining began on my ride home from work. I have excellent hearing so it is extremely distracting and irritating.
I immediately hit the Net and found a boat load of posts. It seems that you nailed the fix.
I of course called my dealer - Infiniti of Englewood - and needless to say the service manager "never" heard of this issue.
I called the finance manager whom I have a good rapport with and simply insisted that they order an ECU replacement. Overall, I am mostly pleased with the car but it clearly has some blatant shortcomings such as poor gas mileage (which I kind of expected) and poor seat warmers. The back hatch should be automatic too.
If the FX35 was more in the ballpark for me - I would have just bought that instead.
I did not expect a perfect product but 1700 miles is a bit on the early side to begin the process of working out the annoying bugs and ticks.[/B]
