2004 Infiniti G35 Complaint Log

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY INFINITI G35 WAS GIVING POOR READINGS ON THE CAR AND WOULD NOT FILL UP ALL THE WAY. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL HOW MUCH FUEL I HAD LEFT AND I ENDED UP RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER G35'S WITH VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I ONLY HAVE 60,000 MILES ON THE CAR, SO THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART MADE THROUGH NISSAN. THERE IS A TSB BUT THEY CHARGE AROUND $400 TO FIX IT ALL WHEN IT IS A DEFECTIVE, UNSAFE PART. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, SMOKE BEGAN TO RISE FROM THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ON THE REAR DECK HAS FAILED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. THEY WANT SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE UNIT. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS A VOLUMINOUS PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL YEAR. IT WAS RECALLED AND ADDRESSED BY INFINITI FOR THE 2003 MODEL YEAR G AND IT IS STILL A PROBLEM FOR THE 2004 YEAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED ACCORDINGLY AT THE MANUFACTURER COST. ALL THESE OWNERS ARE NOT HAVING THE SAME FAILING ISSUES WITHOUT CAUSE. I OWN TWO 2004 INFINITI G35 SEDANS. I USED TO LOVE BOTH OF THEM. THIS ONE HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT AND NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS MYSTERIOUSLY BLINKING FOR NO REASON! THE OTHER ONE HAS HAD ISSUES FOR YEARS WITH BEING ABLE TO PUT GAS IN AND I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS AT THE GAS STATION TRYING TO FILL THE CAR! RIDICULOUS! IF INFINITI DOESN'T DO SOMETHING ... I'LL BE SWITCHING MAKERS. THIS ONE LISTED ALSO HAS FUEL PRESURE REGULATOR/DAMPER FAILURES ... WHILE MY OTHER '04 G (WITH OVER 200,000 MILES ON IT) HAS NONE. EXPLAIN THAT. I LIVE THE REAL ... BETWEEN TWO OF THE SAME MODEL YEAR. FIX THE PROBLEMS INFINITI! *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN STREET AT APPROX.30 MPH THE CAR STOPPED LIKE IT HAS A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK THE PANEL LIT UP AND IT DIED (NOT STALLED )NO MOVEMENT NOT EVEN TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET...NO WARNING...NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT..JUST COMPLETE FAILURE ...FOUND OUT BY THE INTERNET THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2003 ...DEALER CONTACTED AND FIXED FOR $268.00...CHECKED WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE WOULD NOT REPLACE THE SECOND CAM SENSOR..LET THEM KNOW THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE IF THERE WAS ANY FURTHER PROBLEM WHICH MAY RESULT IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR INJURY...[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAD THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS, AND THE DEALER RECOMMENDED THE SAME PARTS TO BE REPLACED AS AFFECTED BY AN EARLIER RECALL: RECALL ID# 03V455000 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING RECALL DATE: NOV 17, 2003 MODEL AFFECTED: INFINITI G35 SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR OR CAM POSITION SENSOR MAY HAVE AN IMPROPER SOLDER JOINT DUE TO SOLDER DEFORMATION CAUSED BY HEAT STRESS ACCELERATED BY THE EXISTENCE OF FLUX RESIDUE DURING THE SOLDERING PROCESS. CONSEQUENCE: THIS COULD CAUSE THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON, CREATE A NO START CONDITION, CAUSE REDUCED ENGINE POWER, OR CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CRANK POSITION SENSORS. CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR(S), AND IN SOME CASES, THE VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL SENSOR(S). VEHICLES INVOLVED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL CAMPAIGN, 01V357, ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS NEW CAMPAIGN. THE REPLACEMENT SENSORS USED IN THAT CAMPAIGN ARE ALSO AFFECTED. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON DECEMBER 22, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 OR INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200. POTENTIAL UNITS AFFECTED: 630000 *TT

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 49,000. UPDATED 03/16/12

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITY G35 COUPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BEZELS FOR BOTH FRONT HEADLIGHTS WERE CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS LOOSE AND DID NOT ADJUST PROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

THE INFINITI G35 2004 MODEL WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING THE CAR. I FOUND OUT THAT THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR WAS THE ISSUE AND THE 2003 MODEL HAD A RECALL HOWEVER THE 2004 DOES NOT. THIS ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING SINCE THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHILE ONE IS DRIVING. THIS IS A DANGER TO OTHER INDIVIDUALS ON THE ROAD AS WELL AS THE INDIVIDUALS DRIVING THE CAR. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED.

I OWN A 2004 INFINITI G35 AND I WAS JUST TOLD BY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT THE THIRD BREAK LIGHT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. IT IS AN LED LIGHT AND HAS NOT EVEN LASTED AS LONG AS THE BULB-TYPE BREAK LIGHTS. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *KB

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILURE. IT APPEARS MANY PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH THESE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ON INFINITI OWNER WEBSITES AND FORUMS AND THE MANUFACTURER (NISSAN) HAS FAILED TO INITIATE A CAMPAIGN ON THIS PRODUCT. THE REPLACEMENT COST FOR THE ACTUATOR IS $149-$220 WITH 2 HOURS LABOR AT RATE OF $120 PER HOUR. *TR

THIS IS REGARDING THE INFINITI VQ ENGINE AND ITS OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. I OWN A 2004 G35X I PAID FOR AND ITS SITS WITH THE BIGGEST OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM DUE TO NISSIANS PROBLEM WITH THE VQ ENGINES AT THE TIME OF THE MAKE. MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. VERY MANY PEOPLE! I DONT FIND THIS FAIR AT ALL. I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO SOMEONE REGARDING THIS SITUATION AND COME TO A CONCLUSION. PLZ *TR

INFINITI 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WORKING ON DURING COLD WEATHER AND OFF DURING WARM. *TR

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FAILS TO ILLUMINATE. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALS THAT THIS IS A WIDELY-KNOWN DEFECT IN THIS AND SIMILAR MODELS, AND THAT INFINITI (NISSAN) HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF IT BUT HAS TAKEN NO ACTION TO ADDRESS IT. I URGE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS SITUATION IN THE INTERESTS OF KEEPING OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES AND OTHER MOTORISTS SAFE.

THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ON MY 2004 INFINITI G35 SEDAN IS NOT FUNCTIONING. *TR

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ISN'T WORKING 100%, IT ONLY TURNS ON THE FIRST FEW MINUTES I USE MY BRAKE PEDAL. AFTER AWHILE, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS USED, THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT NO LONGER TURNS ON. THIS HAS ALWAYS HAPPENED EVER SINCE I'VE RECEIVED THE CAR AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT OPERATING AS A SAFE CAR WOULD HAVE IT OPERATING. MANY OF MY OTHER FELLOW INFINITI G35 OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM ALSO. WE WOULD LIKE INFINITI TO PUT OUT A RECALL AND HAVE IT FIXED TO INCREASE THE AUTOMOBILE OPERATORS SAFETY, AND TO ALSO ABIDE BY THE LAW WITH AN OPERATING 3RD BRAKE LIGHT. *TR

I PURCHASE MY 2004 G35 LAST YEAR AND ABOUT A MONTH OR 2 LATER I STARTED TO NOTICE A STROP GAS SMELL. DIDN'T PAY NO MIND TO IT UNTIL WHEN I MOVED INTO A NEW APARTMENT AND WALK OUT TO MY CAR AN NOTED A PUDDLE UNDERNEATH MY CAR AND IT WAS GAS. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN EVER I FILL UP MY CAR IS WHEN THE SPILLAGE HAPPENS THE MOST AND I LOSE ALOT OF GAS UNTIL IT GET BELOW 1/2 TANK THEN IT STOPS SPILLING UT BUT YOU CAN STILL SMELL THE GAS. I HAVE TURNED IT INTO MY LOCAL INFINITI DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE YET TO MENTION TO ME WHAT IT IS. JUST BECAUSE THERE HAPPEN TO BE A SMALL DENT ON THE TANK UNDERNEATH THEY SAY THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE LEAK. JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME WHEN IT ONLY SPILLS WHEN ITS FULL AND NOT WHEN ITS LESS THEN HALF. THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TANK AND CHARGE ME $1600+ TO REPLACE THE TANK. DOES THIS FALL UNDER ANY KIND OF RECALL FRO FUEL LEAKAGE? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35X. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FAILED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RELATED RECALLS TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT DID NOT INFORM THE MANUFACTURER NOR WAS THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 125,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

ON MARCH 11 MY 2004 INFINITY G35X EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE ALARMING SYSTEM FAILURE. THE POWER STEERING FAILED, THE BRAKES FAILED, IN FACT EVERY COMPONENT NOT RUNNING ON THE BATTERY FAILED. THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS LOOKED LIKE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS. I WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A SIDE STREET, AND NOT A HIGHWAY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED A P-0340 CODE AND REPLACED BANK 1, CAM SENSOR. THIS VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 41,000 MILES AND IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I NOTICED ON-LINE THAT THIS PART WAS PART OF A VOLUNTARY RECALL IN MODEL YEARS 2003 AND 2005, BUT NOT MY YEAR, BUT ALSO THAT THE FAILURES REPORTED WERE AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME MILEAGE AS MY VEHICLE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT HAD I BEEN ON A STREET WITH MORE TRAFFIC AS I HAD ONLY BRUTE FORCE CONTROL OVER THE BRAKES AND STEERING. MY IMPRESSION AT THE DEALER WAS THAT THEY WERE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE DISPLAY OF WARNINGS ON MY DASH PANEL. THE DIAGNOSIS TOOK VERY LITTLE TIME, THE REPAIR WAS COSTLY, THE EXPERIENCE WAS EXTREMELY MEMORABLE. *TR

3RD BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM W/ THIS MODEL OF CAR. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. MANY OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

GRADUALLY THE ROCKING IN THE DRIVER SEAT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. NOW WHEN I ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE MY DRIVER SEAT ROCKS FORWARD OR ROCKS BACKWARDS. I HAVE CONTACTED INFINITI ABOUT THE TSB THEY RELEASED: ITB02080, BUT THEY REFERRED ME TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHO SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE ME 100+ DOLLARS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I CAN SEE THE BROKEN BRACKET AND HAVE NO NEED OF A DIAGNOSIS. *TR

2/16/11 INFINITI G35 (2004) PUT INTO DRIVE AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 10 MILES PER HOUR, DROVE 14 MILES AT THAT SPEED. NEXT MORNING DROVE TO REPAIR SHOP, NOT INFINITI DEALER, AND SHOWED PROBLEM AS CODE #P2128APP SENSOR 2 CIRCUIT AND #P2138APP SENSOR> PERFORMED RE: LEARN PROCEDURE FOR COMPUTER. CAR WAS THEN ABLE TO DRIVE AT NORMAL SPEEDS. *TR

REAR WINDOW BRAKE LIGHT ON 03-04 INFINITI G35 SEDAN SPONTANEOUSLY FAILS. IT WILL WORK 10% OF THE TIME, BUT MOST OF THE TIME, THE LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. TO REPLACE THE BULB, OWNERS HAVE TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE BACKSEAT AND REAR PANEL. INFINITI SAYS THAT THEY WILL REPLACE THE PART AT AN ABSURD COST THAT DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE PRICE OF THE PART OR LABOR. *TR

WAS TOLD BY INFINITI DEALER THIS EXISTS IN OVER 90% OF MODELS THIS YEAR AND TYPE AND WILL BE $5,000 TO FIX. DEFOGGER AND DEFROST VENTS WILL NOT WORK BY MANUALLY PRESSING BUTTONS. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BRACKET BECOMES DETACHED, CAUSING THE DRIVERS SEAT TO DANGEROUSLY MOVE AROUND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WHEN DRIVING, THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION WILL ABRUPTLY ALTER THE DRIVER'S SEAT POSITION BY PHYSICALLY MOVING THE HAND AND FOOT LOCATION, CAUSING ABRUPT ADJUSTMENT OF THROTTLE APPLICATION, BRAKING AND/OR STEERING, WHICH CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY FATAL INJURIES. *TR

3RD BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK IN WARM WEATHER, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE ARE MANY OTHER VEHICLES AFFECTED AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

I OWN A 2004 INFINITI G35 SEDAN W/ 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE DRIVER SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH SEVERELY DURING ACCELERATION OR BRAKING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. THE ROCKING CAUSES DIFFICULTIES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT GEARS. THE CLUTCH AND GAS PEDALS CAN BE PRESSED INADVERTENTLY CAUSING ERRATIC DRIVING. I SPOKE WITH THE INFINTI CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD MY COMPLAINT WOULD BE FILED, BUT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD I SHOULD GO TO AN INFINITI DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE ISSUE ASSESSED AT MY EXPENSE. I CALLED THE NEAREST INFINITI DEALERSHIP WHERE I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. I WAS INFORMED THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS HAD COME IN WITH SIMILAR ISSUES AND IT COSTS BETWEEN $900 -$1,100 TO REPAIR. THIS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2004 G35 INFINITY 9/2008, THE CAR WAS CHECKED 2 WEEKS AGO ON JUNE 12, 2010 AT WHICH TIME 2 QUARTS OF OIL WAS PUT IN, LEVEL WAS FINE ON SATURDAY JUNE 26,2010 COMING HOME FROM PENNSYLVANIA CAR SHUT DOWN HAD TO BE TOWED, MECHANIC STATES ENGINE HAS GONE UP IN VEHICLE, THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE CAR, I HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM, THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BURNED OIL AT AN EXCESSIVE RATE. THE CAR HAS 120K MILES ON IT I AM LEFT WITH NO CAR AND STILL OWE 8100 ON IT AS A CONSUMER I FEEL THAT INFINITY OWES ME AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THIS VEHICLE USED THE AMOUNT OF OIL THAT IT DID AND NEED TO KNOW IF THEY ARE GOING TO ASSIST ME IN ANY WAY. *TR

CAR ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. NO PRIOR ISSUES WITH CAR. WAS ABLE TO RESTART CAR IMMEDIATELY AND IT SEEMED FINE. TOOK IT TO GET DIAGNOSED - ALL FLUID LEVELS WERE OK BUT THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC SAID IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (P0340). LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE FOR 2003 G35S (ID# 48751) BUT MY CAR IS A 2004 G35. INFINITI DEALERSHIPS NOT WILLING TO WORK WITH ME ABOUT RESOLVING THE ISSUE UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL NOTICE, SO I DECIDED TO CHANCE IT TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. IT HAPPENED 6 DAYS LATER ON AN EXIT RAMP. ENGINE CUT OFF AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE BEFORE CAUSING ANY ACCIDENTS. THIS TIME IT WAS MORE DIFFICULT TO RE-START. TOOK SEVERAL TIMES AND THIS TIME THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT STAYED ON. TOOK CAR TO ANOTHER INFINITI DEALERSHIP AND THEY ALSO REFUSED TO WORK WITH ME REGARDING THE RECALL. THE NEXT TIME THE ENGINE CUT OFF WAS 3 DAYS LATER, ALSO WHILE DRIVING. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY ALSO REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

DRIVER SIDE FRONT SEAT MOTOR/TRACK ASSEMBLY. SEAT STUCK - DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACK...SEAT MOTOR ASSEMBLY IGNITED BOTTOM OF DRIVER SEAT...SMOKE BILLOWING OUT OF SWITCH ASSEMBLY AND BOTTOM OF SEAT. (NISSAN SERVICE DEPT STATES THAT TRACK/MOTOR/SWITCH ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.) *TR

MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER VEHICLE WINDOW'S MOTOR HAS CONTINUOUSLY BURNED OUT OR CHOOSES NOT TO WORK AT TIMES. I HAVE RE-PLACED THE WINDOW MOTOR SEVERAL, YET IT STILL DOES NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN ALL THE TIME. I HAVE TO HIT THE AREA WHERE THE MOTOR IS LOCATED ON THE DOOR IN ORDER TO GET IT TO START MOVING, SOMETIMES I WILL BE THERE FOR HOURS TRYING TO ROLL UP MY WINDOW WHEN I LEAVE THE CAR. THERE HAS BEEN A FEW INCIDENTS WHERE I CLOSE MY DRIVER DOOR WITH AND WITH OUT A HEAVY FORCE AND THE MOTOR WILL ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN HALF WAY. I HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THE WINDOW'S MOTOR MUST BE DEFECTIVE AND HOPES TO WRITE A COMPLAINT SO THAT INFINITY MOTORS CAN RECALL THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT, MY WINDOW HAS ROLLED DOWN DURING RAINY SEASON, AND IT IS QUITE UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE IN WET LEATHER SEATS. *TR

FAILURE OF DRIVERS SIDE SEAT FRAME DUE TO CRACKING TWICE. ONCE AT 26,177 MILES ON 8/8/06 AND AGAIN AT 60,815 MILES ON 5/20/10. THE WAY I BECAME AWARE OF THE FAILURE IS THAT BOTH TIMES IT INTERFERED WITH THE POWER SEAT OPERATION. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS NEW. I AM NOT A BIG PERSON, MALE, 5'8" 160LBS. THE VEHICLE IS PERFECTLY MAINTAINED, LOOKS NEW AND ALL SERVICE RECORDS ARE AVAILABLE. REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY THE FIRST TIME THE SEAT FRAME CRACKED AND REPLACED THE SECOND TIME OUT OF WARRANTY AT THE SAME INFINITY DEALERSHIP. INQUIRED FROM THE DEALER IF THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY WOULD NOT ANSWER. CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER DIRECTLY TWICE TO GET ADDITIONAL INFO AND INQUIRE IF THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY SAID THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. IF THEY FELT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE THEY WOULD SELF REPORT IT DIRECTLY TO THE PROPER PARTY. THEY DID NOT RESPOND TO MY SECOND INQUIRY. THIS DID NOT SEEM APPROPRIATE TO ME AFTER THE ISSUES WITH TOYOTA. I HAVE SAVED THE PART FROM THE MORE RECENT REPLACEMENT IN CASE FURTHER INSPECTION WAS NECESSARY. *TR

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE IN A 2004 INFINITI G35X, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER G35 OWNERS AS WELL. *TR

NISSAN JUST STARTED A RECALL FOR STALLED ENGINE. MY CAR (2004 INFINTI G35) SEEMS TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING BUT IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. NOW, THE ENGINE STALLS ONCE IN A WHILE AND YOU HAVE TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART FOR IT TO WORK. I CALLED INFINITI AND THEY SAID CAN NOT DO ANYTHING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT IS NOT PART OF THE SPECIFIC RECALL. THE CAR POSES SAFETY ISSUE IF IT IS TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY, IT WILL THREATEN SAFETY OF OTHERS INCLUDING MYSELF. *TR

FUEL GAUGE ON INFINITY G35 COUPE (04) ALWAYS INCORRECT. PUMPING FUEL INTO THE CAR ALSO DIFFICULT AS IT USUALLY DOESN'T ALLOW A FULL FILL UP. *TR

WHILE OPERATING MY VEHICLE IN A NORMAL SETTINGS MY ENGINE ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST STOPPED OPERATING WHILE DRIVING ON A 35 MPH ROAD WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I PULLED OVER THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AGAIN. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLE BEHIND ME OR IN FRONT OF ME THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO A BAD CAM SENSOR. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE DEALER BEING WORKED ON. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SEEMS TO DRASTICALLY DROP WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED BACK ON AGAIN. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS CAR WILL READ FUEL EMPTY WHEN IT STILL HAS ABOUT A QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS. WHEN REFILLING CAR WITH FUEL, CAR WILL ONLY TAKE ABOUT 15 GALLONS OF GAS AND THEN REGISTER FULL AGAIN. THIS CAR HAS A 20 GALLON TANK. *TR

I WAS FILLING GAS ON MY 2004 INFINITI G35 COUPE. AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK ($35 WORTH), I STARTED DRIVING OFF ONLY TO BE STOPPED BY ANOTHER DRIVER 100 FEET AWAY FROMTHE GAS STATION. THE DRIVER STOPPED ME TO LET ME KNOW THAT MY CAR WAS LEAKING GAS. AFTER LOOKING AT IT, GAS WAS JUST POURING FROM UNDERNEATH MY CAR, IN LESS THAN MINUTES MY GAS TANK WAS EMPTY AND THE CAR WILL NOT START. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I READ THAT THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE 2004 INIFNITI G35 (FUEL LEAKAGE PROBLEMS). HOWEVER, AFTER CALLING INIFINITY, THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, BUT INSTEAL INDICATED THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND WILL OFFER TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX MY CAR FOR A FEE. I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AS FUEL LINE LEAKAGE COULD CAUSE FIRES. PLEASE HELP BRING THIS MATTER TO LIGHT. THANKS.

DEALER INSTALLED A NEW AIR/FUEL SENSOR. TWENTY SEVEN MILES LATER THE SES LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE DEALESHIP HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THEIR SHOP. THEN INFORMED ME THAT A CODEP2135 WAS DETECTED. THE VEHILCE HAD JUST BEEN DIAOGNOSTICALLY TESTED AND REPAIRED. COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS A LARGE PICK-UP STOPPED ONLY ABOUT TWO FEET FROM MY STALLED VEHICLE. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND THE VEHICLE STARTED AND HAD NORMAL POWER, BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON.L *CN
