2006 Infiniti G35 Complaint Log

MY ENGINE CONSUMES OIL, 2 QUARTS/1000 MILES . I AM THE 3RD OWNER AND I HAVE JUST RECENTLY BEEN INFORMED OF AN OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL BACK IN 2008. *TR

ALL SWITCHES FOR RADIO, HORN ONLY WORK WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS IN APPROXIMATELY 180 DEGREE POSITION. IN NORMAL DRIVING POSITION, NO HORN OR OTHER STEERING MOUNTED CONTROLS FUNCTION. *TR

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM MODULE (ABS) HAS BURNED OUT AND IS HAPPENING SO OFTEN, INFINITY IS UNABLE TO SUPPLY THE DEMAND AND THERE IS A NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER FOR THE PART. AFTER WAITING 2 WEEKS FOR THE PART BEGINNING 10/31/13, MY MECHANIC DISCONNECTED THE ABS MODULE, SO THAT I CAN HAVE TRANSPORTATION BECAUSE HE DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. I NO LONGER HAVE USE OF ABS AND THIS ALSO KEEPS VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL FROM FUNCTIONING. AS OF TODAY'S DATE 12/09/13, I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE PART AND DRIVING WITHOUT THE USE OF SAFETY FEATURES DURING THIS WET WINTER MONTHS. IT MAY BE WORTH NOTING THAT THE LOW END OF THIS REPAIR AT AN INDEPENDENT SHOP IS $1400 AND HIGH END $2100. A COST MANY PEOPLE MAY NOT BE ABLE AFFORD LEADING TO MORE DISCONNECTED ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMS ON THE ROAD. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 INFINITI G35 COUPE WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME OR DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC I NOTICE THAT WHEN I SWITCH GEARS MY CLUTCH PEDAL GETS STUCK TO THE GROUND AND WILL NOT POP BACK INTO PLACE UNLESS MANUALLY PUSHING IT BACK UP WITH MY FOOT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND SEVERAL OTHER G35 OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGERS SEAT FAILED AS THE AIR BAG LIGHT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT SEAT SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V175000 (AIR BAGS, SEATS). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 121,000.

I OWN A 2006 INFINITI G35 COUPE THAT HAS LESS THAN 60K MILES AND BURNS TWO QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. I ORIGINALLY BECAME AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BACK IN 2008. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BEGIN EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTING. AT THAT TIME I ONLY DROVE ABOUT 200 MILES A MONTH AND THE DEALER SAID I NEEDED TO BE DRIVING 2500 MILES TO PERFORM THE TEST. I EXPLAINED THAT THERE WASN'T A WAY TO PUT THE MILEAGE ON MY CAR WITHOUT UNNECESSARILY DRIVING AROUND TOWN. MY CAR REQUIRES PREMIUM GAS AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS FOR SOMEONE TO THINK I WOULD SPEND THOUSANDS IN GAS TO SHOW MY CAR HAS A OIL BURNING ISSUE. LAST MONTH AFTER LESS THAN A THOUSAND MILES SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE, MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND THEY SAID MY CAR DEFINITELY HAS A OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. THEY ALSO SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED BY TIME NOT MILEAGE. THE MANUFACTURER AS WELL AS THE DEALER ARE FULLY AWARE THAT THERE IS TSB ISSUED ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE OPENED A CASE WITH INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AS WELL AS THE BBB. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVING SLOW IN TRAFFIC JAM, PRESS ON GAS CAR DIED, JUST CUT OFF. WITHOUT WARNING. NO WARNING LIGHTS PREVIOUSLY OR DURING. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND MELTING. THE DASHBOARD IS MELTED SO BAD IN SOME SPOTS THAT THE DASHBOARD CAN'T EVEN BE CLEANED. THE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD ARE STARTING TO GET WORSE EACH DAY. I AM AFRAID THAT THE CRACKS WILL BECOME SO SEVERE IT WILL EVENTUALLY AFFECT THE DRIVING SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP WHEN I WAS REAR ENDED. THE IMPACT WAS PRETTY HARD, AND THE VEHICLE WAS ULTIMATELY A TOTAL LOSS. AT THE TIME OF COLLISION, MY DRIVERS SIDE SEAT COLLAPSED BACK ON ME ALMOST TO A FULL RECLINE POSITION. DUE TO THIS, MY SEAT BELT WAS COMPLETELY LOOSE, AND FELT AS IF I DID NOT HAVE ONE ON. I SLID DOWN, AND MY ANKLES WERE BRUISED ON TOP, AND MY BASEBALL CAP FLEW OFF INTO THE BACK SEAT. ALSO, THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR. A LOUD NOISE WAS ALSO HEARD AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A MASSIVE CRACK IN THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,860.

MELTING DASHBOARD FIRST NOTICED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. THIS YEAR IS HAS GOTTEN A LOT WORSE AND MANY CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD EXPANDING. DIFFICULT TO CLEARLY SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO THE GLARE PRODUCED BY THE SHINY MELTED DASHBOARD. INFINITI UNRESPONSIVE.

THE TOP MOUNT REAR LIGHT (3RD BRAKE LIGHT) ON MY G35 ONLY WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT ALL SOMETIMES. IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SEDAN MODEL. COULD BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE WITH CARS BEHIND NOT REALIZING THE G35 IN FRONT IS STOPPING. *TR

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED BY ITSELF FROM 40 MPH TO 55 MPH WITHOUT ME TOUCHING ANY PEDAL. I HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKES HARD TO GET THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. ONCE I APPROACHED STOP SIGN THE CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP THE ACCELERATION EVEN WHEN I AM TRYING TO ACCELERATE, IT PICKS UP REALLY SLOWLY. I AM GOING TO TAKE IT TO DEALER TOMORROW AND IF IT IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT I AM GOING TO CONSUMER COURT TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. I WAS REALLY TERRIFIED DRIVING THE CAR. *TR

THE HIGH MOUNT THIRD STOP LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY ON MY 2006 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND I AM CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF HER AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD, AS THIS IS A SAFETY LIGHT THAT SHOULD NOT FAIL. AFTER THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION I HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHER INFINITI CARS ON THE ROAD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED. *TR

MY CAR FALLS UNDER THIS RECALL...YET WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, OR LOOK ON LINE ON THEIR SITE. THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL- WILL NOT FIX MY CAR!! WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT? HOW CAN I GET MY CAR FIXED. BELOW IS 1 OF 100 ARTICLES ABOUT IT ON THE INTERNET: NISSAN IS RECALLING 134,000 INFINITI G35 VEHICLES DUE TO A DEFECT IN THEIR AIRBAG SYSTEMS THAT COULD CAUSE THE SAFETY FEATURE NOT TO DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THE RECALL AFFECTS 2005 TO 2006 MODELS OF THE INFINITI G35 SEDAN AND 2005 TO 2007 MODELS OF THE G35 COUPE. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION: ?THE WIRE HARNESS CONNECTING THE BELT TENSION SENSOR (BTS) AND THE OCCUPANT DETECTION SENSOR (ODS) CONTROL UNIT UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CAN EXPERIENCE RELATIVE MOVEMENT WHICH CAN CAUSE WEAR AND OXIDIZATION OF THE TERMINALS AND MAY CAUSE INTERRUPTION OF THE SIGNAL.? IN OTHER WORDS, ?THE AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY AND COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF AN INJURY,? EXPLAINS THE DETROIT NEWS. ?THE AUTOMAKER HAS NOT YET NOTIFIED THE FEDS OF HOW THE FAULTY WIRE HARNESSES WILL BE FIXED, BUT THE OFFICIAL RECALL IS NOW BEING ANNOUNCED, JUST TWO WEEKS AFTER THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO NHTSA,? WRITES AUTOBLOG. STILL, THE DETROIT FREE PRESS REPORTS THAT NISSAN SPOKESMAN [XXX] SAID IF A VEHICLE'S RED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAD TURNED ON, THE OWNER CAN BRING THEIR CAR INTO THEIR DEALER FOR REPAIR.? SOME 2007 AND 2008 G35 AND G37 MODELS HAVE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH A SIMILAR RECALL. SYSTEMS THAT DETECT WHETHER A PASSENGER IS PRESENT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER?S SEAT AND TURN THE RELEVANT AIRBAGS ON OR OFF HAVE PROVEN PROBLEMATIC FOR SEVERAL AUTOMAKERS. BMW AND HYUNDAI HAVE ISSUED SIMILAR RECALLS FOR THE SAME SYSTEM IN RECENT YEARS. OWNERS WITH QUESTIONS SHOULD CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236.

MY SEDAN'S THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE TESTED THE WIRING AND THE LIGHT ALWAYS HAS POWER, BUT SOMETIMES IT JUST DOESN'T LIGHT UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITY G35 EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN PILOT TIRES, SIZE 225/40/R19. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, SHE HEARD A LOUD POPPING AND A GLASS SHATTERING NOISE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VEER OFF INTO A WOODED AREA OFF OF THE INTERSTATE. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A STOP AND WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE TREAD ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE HAD STARTED TO SEPARATE AND THE SIDEWALL HAD DISINTEGRATED. THERE WAS DAMAGE DONE TO THE RIM, FRONT BUMPER AND THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN AND DOT NUMBER WERE UNAVAILABLE.

I CONTACTED MICHELIN PER THE NHTSA AND I DID NOT RECEIVE A SATISFACTORY RESPONSE. MY CAR TIRES WERE EXAMINE BY THIRD PARTY PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE SERVICE STATION OWNER NOTICED ALL FOUR TIRES WERE DRY ROTTEN. HE TOLD ME I SHOULD RETURN THEM TO PLACE OF PURCHASE. MY VEHICLE SUFFERING TOTAL TIRE FAILURE. I HAVE OCCURRED ABOUT 700.00 IN PERSONAL COSTS AND I AM STILL ON THREE BAD TIRES. MICHELIN STATED THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE MY INSURANCE COMPANY FILE THE CLAIM. THAT IS NOT CORRECT. THEY WILL NOT FILE FOR MY PERSONAL COSTS INVOLVE AND WILL NOT SEEK PAYMENT FROM MICHELIN. *TR

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT HAS FAILED AND IS NOT AN CHEAPER ONE TO REPLACE. IT WOULD COST ME AROUND $500 TO REPLACE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT LEDS. IT HAPPENED ON MY FRIEND'S CAR TOO. *TR

THE REAR THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ON MY 2006 G35 COUPE (NO-SPOILER) BEGAN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AFTER ONLY 4-5 YEARS IN SERVICE. ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO IT WENT OUT COMPLETELY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI G35 COUPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

CAR THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FAILS TO OPERATE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI G35X. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL HOWEVER, NO AIR WOULD BLOW FROM THE VENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE RADIO HEAD UNIT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, PROVIDING NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. I LOSE AT LEAST 1 QT EVERY 1,000 MILES. DEALER DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND CLAIMS IT ONLY LOST 2 QTS IN 3,500 MILES. THEY ZIP TIED EVERYTHING SO I COULD NOT CHECK IT MYSELF. WHEN I CHECK THE OIL MYSELF IT ALWAYS LOSES AT LEAST 1 QT FOR EVERY 1,000 MILES DRIVEN. THE DEALER LIED BUT STILL FORWARDED MY CLAIM TO INFINITI CORPORATE. I NEVER HEARD FROM THEM SO I CALLED THEM MYSELF AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY CAR IS A MANUAL AND I READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. WHY IS THIS NOT FORCE RECALLED BY THE GOVERNMENT? ENGINE COULD SEIZE ON A HIGHWAY AND CAUSE A COLLISION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, WHEELS STARTED SHAKING. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO INFINITI THEY SAID THE COMPRESSION RODS WENT BAD AND THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN G35S. SERVICE GUY EVEN TOLD ME THAT THE PART IS DEFECTIVE AND IF IT BREAKS WHILE DRIVING YOUR TIRE/WHEEL CAN FLY OFF. IF IT IS DEFECTIVE THEN WHY HASN'T INFINITI ISSUED A RECALL? *TR

WHILE DRIVING, IN TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. CARS BEHIND ME WERE AT A SAFE ENOUGH DISTANCE THAT I COULD PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS, ALSO, HAPPENS WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR A.M. OR P.M. (WITH THE VEHICLE BEING PARKED): IT FAILS TO START. THE "VDC" AND "SLIP" LIGHT COMES ON. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. *TR

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WORKS ONLY INTERMITTENTLY. NO RHYME OR REASON WHY IT'S NOT WORKING ALL THE TIME AS WHEN IT DOES WORK, ALL THE LIGHTS SHINE AT FULL BRIGHTNESS. NO ACCIDENTS, NO ELECTRICAL FAULTS, IT JUST RANDOMLY STOPPED WORKING 100% OF THE TIME. *TR

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ON OR NEAR AIRBAGS. I PARK MY CAR IN AIR COOLED GARAGES 24/7 AND HAVE NEVER APPLIED AN PRODUCTS THAT WOULD DRY IT OUT TO CAUSE THE CRACKS. I FEEL THE CRACKS IN THE DASH MAY AFFECT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND MY SAFETY. PLEASE HELP.

THE OIL BURNS LIKE CRAZY IT CAUSED MY CAR TO LOCK UP BEING THE IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING, HAVING TO DO OIL CHANGES ONCE A MONTH WHICH IS INSANITY. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM NOT ONLY IN THE INFINITI G35 BUT ALSO THE NISSAN 350Z MODELS. USUALLY A PROBLEM WITH MANUAL 6SPD TRANSMISSION MODELS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BEING THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITY G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS ACTUALLY FILLED TO CAPACITY.

CLUTCH PEDAL DOES NOT RETURN TO PROPER PLACEMENT UNDER NORMAL DRIVING. CLUTCH PEDAL STICKS AND CHANGES ENGAGEMENT POINT. SUSPECTED FAULTY CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER. *TR

THE INFINITI G AND NISSAN 350Z HAVE SIGNIFICANT TIRE WEAR ISSUES. THESE VEHICLES WERE PRODUCED WITHOUT THE MEANS TO ADJUST THE TIRE CAMBER. THEREFORE, TIRES ARE LASTING LESS THAN 20,000 MILES. THE TIRES ARE OVERHEATING AND TIRE BELTS ARE BREAKING. I CONSIDER THIS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAD A TIRE FAILURE THIS LAST WEEKEND DUE TO A BROKEN TIRE BELT. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS IN THE WORKS, BUT I FEEL A DOT INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR EFFORTS. *TR

WHILE CHECKING TIRE PRESSURE TPMS BROKE - FILED BY JIFFY LUBE. *TR

UNUSUAL HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION NOTICED AROUND 25,000 MILES. I AM 61 YEARS OLD AND DO NOT DRIVE MUCH OR ABUSE THE ENGINE, I JUST WANTED A RELIABLE CAR WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. #1 DEALER (VERY HOSTILE) TESTED OIL AFTER 1000 MILES SHOWING ONLY 4MM MISSING, HOWEVER THE SAME MORNING I HAVE DOCUMENTED PICTURES SHOWING 9 TO 10MM OF OIL MISSING ON THE DIP STICK. CONCLUSION: DEALER ADDED OIL PRIOR OF CALLING ME IN TO SEE THEIR OIL CHECK! ASKED INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO REDO TEST AT SECOND DEALER. #2 DEALER WAS MUCH NICER TO MY COMPLAINT, BUT WHEN I RECEIVED THE CAR AFTER THE FREE OIL FILL, THE DIP STICK WAS SEALED WITH A PLASTIC TIE! THEIR ANSWER WAS: "YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL UNTIL YOU COME BACK AFTER 2000 MILES" !!!. AFTER 2000 MILES OF DRIVING THEY OPENED THE SEAL ON THE DIP STICK WHICH SHOWED ABOUT 12MM OF OIL LOSS. (HAVE PICTURE). NOW I CONCLUDED THAT THE DIPSTICK WAS SEALED SO I CANNOT SEE THAT THEY (DEALER #2) OVERFILLED OIL BY ABOUT 1/2 QUART, WHY I AM SAYING THIS ? BECAUSE IN ALL MY PRIVATE MEASUREMENTS SHOW ABOUT 10MM PER 1000 MILES AND 20 MM AT 2000 MILES, WHICH IS IN THE BAD RANGE AS SHOWN IN THEIR OWN TSB. CURRENTLY THE ODOMETER IS 32,275 MILES, WHICH IS EXTREMELY LOW MILEAGE FOR SUCH AN OIL LOSS. THEY HAVE REVISED THE TSB 4 TIMES TO DATE. *TR

MY REAR DECK BRAKE LIGHT WORKS ONLY INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

2006 G35X SEDAN - WHEN OPENING THE HOOD A LOUD CREAKING SOUND IS MADE AND THE FRONT FENDERS WERE SCRAPED BY THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER IN ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT AND WORKED JUST FINE WHEN PREVIOUSLY OPENED. CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND APPARENTLY ITS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE HOOD HINGES TO BECOME BENT OR FAIL TO BE LUBRICATED CAUSING THE HOOD TO SHIFT AND IN SOME CASES EVEN BEND THE HOOD/FRONT FENDERS OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO MENTION OF NEEDING TO LUBRICATE THIS PART IN THE MANUAL FOR STANDARD MAINTENANCE. AS IT ONLY JUST HAPPENED I HAVE YET TO FIND OUT IF THE LOCAL INFINITI DEALER WILL BE COVERING THE DAMAGES UNDER THE CERTIFIED PREOWNED WARRANTY. *TR

INFINITI G35 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WORKS TEMPORARILY. CAN CAUSE REAR END ACCIDENTS. PLEASE HAVE INFINITI RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FAILED ON MY 2006 G35 SEDAN. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE, AND WAS POINTED TO THIS SITE TO TRY AND GET SOME ACTION DONE TO COVER THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2006 INFINITI G35 AND JUST LEARNED THAT MY CENTER HIGH MOUNT STOP LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE BEGUN TO RESEARCH THIS AND DISCOVERED THAT THE PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON AMONG CARS SIMILAR TO MINE. I KNOW THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WAS WORKING RECENTLY AND I HAVE SEEN IT ILLUMINATE RECENTLY BUT NOT ALWAYS. THIS CONCERNS ME FOR THE SAFETY AND REPAIR PROBLEMS, AND FOR THE FACT THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A FACTORY RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS SAFETY EQUIPMENT. *TR

3RD BRAKE LIGHT WORKS LESS THAN HALF THE TIME. THE REFLECTION OF THE LIGHT WHEN ON IS VISIBLE FROM THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. IT HAS BEEN A CONCERN FOR ABOUT 3 MONTH. VIEWED ON A G35 FORUM THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON FOR OUR CARS. FILLING OUT TO THIS COMPLAINT TO TRY TO GET A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS THE TAIL LIGHTS WOULD LOOK LIKE NIGHT LIGHTS AND NOT BRAKE LIGHTS. *TR

2006 INFINITI G35. CONSUMER STATES THAT HE RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HARNESS AND IS HAVING DIFFICULTY GETTING THE WORK DONE. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED HE LIVES APPROXIMATELY 500 MILES FROM THE NEAREST INFINITI DEALER WHICH IS OUT OF THE WAY AND THE OTHER DEALERSHIP WHICH IS A NISSAN DEALER THAT IS CLOSER HAD A DIFFICULT TIME GETTING REIMBURSED FROM MANUFACTURER IN THE PAST WHEN THEY PERFORMED RECALL WORK ON INFINITIES. *JB

PLEASE BE INFORMED REGARDING THE SERIOUS DEFECTS THAT MIGHT ADMINISTER SAFETY TO GENERAL PUBLIC REGARDING INCIDENT HAPPENED TO MY 2006 G35 COUPE INFINITI. WHILE DRIVING IN THE HI-WAY THE POWER SLIDING GLASS SUNROOF SUDDENLY BLOWN AWAY! I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME MORE THAT $800.00 FOR THE REPLACEMENT ALLEGEDLY THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY! THAT'S WHY I WANT TO REPORT THIS THAT MIGHT CONSIDER AS A RECALL FOR A POOR DESIGN/WORKMANSHIP OR NEGLIGENCE BY QUALITY ASSURANCE. I JUST DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR SOMEBODY'S MISTAKE! I WILL LET OFFICE OF DEFECT INVESTIGATION (ODI) KNOWS REGARDING THIS MATTER TO ALERT THE GENERAL PUBLIC REGARDING THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES THAT MIGHT STRIKE AGAIN AND SOMEONE MIGHT GET HURT OR KILLED.

3RD BRAKE LIGHT NON-FUNCTIONAL. *TR

LED CENTER HIGH MOUNT STOP LIGHT FAILS PREMATURELY. COMMON ISSUE ON 03-06 G35 SEDANS. FAILURE IS RELATED TO THE LIGHT ITSELF DUE TO EITHER DEFECTIVE LEDS OR RESISTORS IN THE LIGHT. COMMON COMPLAINT ON INTERNET FORUMS AND COMMONLY SEEN ON ROAD. EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND REQUIRED FOR INSPECTION AND SAFETY WHICH IS WHY IT'S A FREQUENTLY COMPLAINED ABOUT ISSUE. MY OWN VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A FAILED THIRD BRAKE LIGHT. PART IS EXPENSIVE TO PURCHASE AND REQUIRED COMPLETE DISMANTLING OF REAR SEAT AREA AND PACKAGE TRAY TO REPLACE. *TR

EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE HAS 148K MILES. THIS PROBLEM HAS RESURFACE MANY TIMES IN THE PAST AND I GET A WARNING THAT THE VEHICLE NEED TO BE SERVICE. EACH TIME THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE OIL LEVEL WAS LOW AND AFTER THEY ADD OIL AND RESET THE WARNING IT IS FINE UNTIL THE OIL AGAIN GOES BELOW THE SAFE LEVEL. THE CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. ON THE LAST PREVIOUS SERVICES DUE TO THIS ISSUE I BEEN TOLD THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. NAVIGATING THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND VARIOUS SIMILAR COMPLAINS FROM CUSTOMER WERE THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE ENGINE. SINCE THIS IS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY THE INFINITI COMPANY EVEN THAT THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED DUE THAT I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS TO THEM ON VARIOUS PREVIOUS VISITS ( I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT TIME THIS FIRST HAPPENED, THE DATE BELOW IS A ESTIMATED GUESS) TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT.

DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW MOTOR GOES OUT EVERY 3-4 MONTHS. NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL,IT COULD POSE AS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE MOTOR GETS IN A BIND AND IF IT GETS STUCK COULD OVER HEAT, OR IF IN A WRECK AND HIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THE ONLY WAY OUT IS TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVERS WINDOW IT WOULDN'T ROLL DOWN. SO IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE SOMETHING TO BUST THE WINDOW IN THE COUPE YOU WOULD BE STUCK. EVERY PERSON I CAME ACROSS THAT HAS A G35 COUPE 03-06 THERE WINDOW HAS WENT OUT AT LEAST TWICE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ESPECIALLY SINCE ITS NOT JUST ONE COUPE BUT RATHER 90% OF THEM. AS WELL AS INFINITI WANTS $500.00 TO FIX. *TR
