2005 Infiniti G35 complaints

MY INFINITY G35 2005 M/T HAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT OF OIL CONSUMPTION AND IS VERY COMMON TO THE ENGINE FOR THIS MODEL THE VQ35 IT ONLY HAS 63,000 MILES ON IT AND IT CONSUMES 1.5 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. THE CAR STARTS KNOCKING WITH NO OIL IN IT BY 2,000 AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. I CHANGE THE OIL AND ONLY 1 QUART COMES OUT WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO HAVE 5QUARTS! THIS IS ALSO CAUSING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO TURN ON WITH CODES THAT THE OXYGEN SENSORS AND THREE WAY CATALYST ARE BAD. IT SQUEALS WHEN TURNING IT ON AND KNOCKS WHILE DRIVING.

THE HIGH , CENTER MOUNTED, THIRD BRAKE LIGHT EITHER FAILS TO ACTIVATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, OR IT LIGHTS VERY DIMLY.

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN A RECENT ACCIDENT

DRIVING CAR THEN IT STALLED. TRIED TO RESTART AND ALL LIGHTS CAME ON (ENGINE, VCF, SLIP-LIGHT). WOULDN'T START FOR 2 MINUTES. ONCE RESTARTED, ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. DROVE CAR TO GET DIAGNOSTIC TEST. DIAGNOSTIC SAYS CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. RESEARCHED AND FOUND SAME HAPPENINGS ON 2002 & 2003 MODELS; INFINITI HAS RECALL ON THOSE. CALLED ABOUT MY VIN AND INFINITI CLAIMS THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL.

I HAD BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. ABOUT 10-15 MILES AWAY FROM THE DEALER MY AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON. I CALLED THE DEALER AND SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE MECHANIC MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN TO RESET COMPUTER AND TO COME BACK AT NEXT SERVICE SINCE DEALER IS NOT CLOSE TO HOME OR WORK. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CSR BACK TO DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL BUT THE WIRING HARNESS AND AIRBAG SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR $1800. I REFUSED TO GET IT FIXED AND LEFT. CAR HAS 210000 MILES ON IT AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON.

MADE A RIGHT TURN ONTO A ROUND ABOUT STREET AND WHEN I TRIED TO TURN LEFT MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED STRAIGHT LIKE IF THE CAR WAS PARKED. THE WHEELS WOULDN'T TURN AND I HIT A PARKED TRUCK WHERE A PERSON WAS WORKING ON. HE DID GET INJURED BUT I AM NOT AWARE OF THE EXACT INJURIES HE SUSTAINED. I WAS DRIVING A 2005 G35 SEDAN WHICH I'VE HAD FOR AROUND 4 MONTHS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 03V455000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DYNAMIC CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED, BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR OR THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,000.

DRIVING CAR IN TRAFFIC - THE CAR STALLED. ALMOST REAR ENDED. NO WARNING. UNABLE TO RESTART CAR FOR 5-10 MINUTES. ON ENGINE LIGHT ON - VCF (OFF) LIGHT ON - SLIP LIGHT ON. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE CRANKSHAFT ANGEL SENSOR AND/OR THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. CAR AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS DOWN.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MILES AN HOUR WHEN UNEXPECTEDLY, THE CAR STARTS TO MAKE SOME NOISE THEN IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN THE MOTOR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, VDC OFF, AND SLIP LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, AND ONLY AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS (ABOUT THREE) DID THE CAR START. THERE IS NO WARNING. THE AUTO REPAIR FACILITY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND THE CODE THEY GOT WAS THE CAM SENSORS NEEDED REPLACING, WHICH COST ME $650. THEY SAID THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACING A LOT OF THESE. IT'S VERY PREVALENT. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE 2003 MODEL OF THE INFINITI G35 HAD ARECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY 2005 INFINITI G35 SEDAN'S DASHBOARD SEEMS TO BE MELTING. I LIVE IN FLORIDA. DURING AFTERNOON'S, I SEE THE DASH IS ALL SHINY AND STICKY WHEN TOUCHED. I GET A GLARE WHEN DRIVING CERTAIN DIRECTIONS. I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE MADE BY ANOTHER MANUFACTURER AND IN THE EXACT SAME CONDITIONS, AND I DO NOT SEE THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP WHEN CONTACTED MENTIONED THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS AND THAT I WAS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHARGES WHICH THEY SAID WOULD AMOUNT CLOSE TO $4000. THE INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS WHEN CONTACTED, DID NOTHING TO ADDRESS MY CONCERN. I AM CONCERNED WHETHER THIS WILL POSE A HEALTH-RISK TO ME AND MY FAMILY. PLEASE HELP RESOLVE MY ISSUE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IN MY CAR STARTED MELTING SOMETIME BACK WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS STICKY, GIVES A SHINE UNDER SUN AND CANNOT BE CLEANED. REPEATED REQUESTS TO THE DEALER WERE TURNED DOWN BLAMING THE ISSUE ON THE HOT WEATHER. I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE HONDA ODYSSEY UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS WHICH DOESN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. PLEASE HELP RESOLVE MY ISSUE. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT REFLECT ACCURATE LEVELS. AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, AND TURNING ON THE IGNITION THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE DOESN'T MOVE. *TR

DRIVER'S SEAT NOT SECURE. *TR

3RD BRAKE LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

MY 2005 INFINITI G35 UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT TODAY. THANKFULLY, I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY AT THE TIME. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON, VDC OFF, AND SLIP LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, AND ONLY AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS (ABOUT FIVE) DID THE CAR START, AND I WAS ABLE TO PARK IN A SAFE PLACE. SOMETHING VERY SIMILAR HAPPENED WITH THIS CAR IN JULY 2010. AFTER THE JULY 2010 INCIDENT, I HAD TO REPLACE A COUPLE OF SENSORS, WHICH COST OVER $1,000. I DID NOT EXPECT TO HAVE TO RELIVE THE EXPERIENCE OF HAVING MY CAR SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. I BELIEVE THAT THE OLDER (2003) VERSION OF THE INFINITI G35 HAD A RECALL FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT INFINITI / NISSAN HAS NOT FOUND A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO AN INFINITI DEALERSHIP THIS EVENING, AND I AWAIT THE DIAGNOSTIC READING TOMORROW. I WILL BE PETRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW. *TR

TOOK CAR IN TO HAVE PASSENGER AIRBAG HARNESS REPLACED PER RECALL. WHILE IN THE SHOP, A CRITICAL CONCERN WAS NOTED THAT THE DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE AND SPIRAL CABLE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER OF $1,434. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS CONTACTED AND REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE PART REPLACEMENT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND I WAS TOLD THAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG PARTS ARE REPLACED, THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. IT IS MY CONTENTION THAT NISSAN SHOULD FIX A KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT ASSOCIATED WITH ITS AIRBAGS AND THAT A RECALL SHOULD ALSO BE PLACED ON THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE. *TR

2005 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. CONSUMER FOUND MANY PROBLEMS WITH CAR AND FEELS BEEN FOOLED BY DEALERSHIP. *TA THE CONSUMER STATED TWO DAYS, AFTER HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED DEFECT. A MECHANIC CONFIRMED THE AIR BAG WAS NOT FUNCTIONING, AS THE LIGHT WAS FLASHING, THE TIRES WERE OVERLY WORN, THE CD PLAYER WAS NOT WORKING, THE PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT SHUT PROPERLY, THE WHEELS WERE NOT ALIGNED AND THE LOWER CAT SHIELD MADE A NOISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

3RD BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE. *TR

CRACKS AROUND THE DASHBOARD OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT SHOW ACCURATE INFORMATION. CANNOT FILL GAS TAKE FULL ANYMORE. WILL ONLY HOLD APPROX. 6 GALLONS. IF CAR RUNS OUT OF GAS WITHOUT PROPER WARNING MAY CAUSE BAD ACCIDENT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS MATTER IMMEDIATELY. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

THERE IS A ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IN THE MANUFACTURED CARS AND TRUCKS MADE BY THE NISSAN CORPORATION. A CALL BACK WAS ISSUED FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS BUT NOT THE DRIVER SIDE STEERING COLUMN. A COIL LOCATED INTERNAL WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN IS DEFECT AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY IN AN EMERGENCY. SAFETY OF THE DRIVER SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY ISSUE WHEN A COMPANY PUTS THEIR NAME ON A PRODUCT LIKE A MOTOR VEHICLE. THERE ARE ONLY TWO SAFETY FEATURES LOCATED FOR THE DRIVERS SAFETY. PLEASE ADDRESS MY CONCERNS BY ISSUING A CALL BACK ON THE NISSAN VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS DEFECT FOR THE DRIVERS SAFETY THANK YOU RESPECTFULLY *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT FLASHED OFF AND ON, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS FAULTY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. ....UPDATED 01/12/15*BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS RECALL FOR AN AIR BAG ISSUE IN 2010. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS SINCE RETURNED. UPDATED 01/15/15

APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO I PURCHASED A 2005 INFINITI G35 FOR MY DAUGHTER. TWO WEEKS AGO THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING IT WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER - REGARDLESS OF SPEED. THERE WOULD BE A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, INCLUDING POWER STEERING, SO IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR HER TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RESTART IT. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR AT RANDOM EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION; PARTICULARLY, FOR A TEENAGE DRIVER. I GOOGLED THE CAR'S ISSUES, AND LEARNED THAT NISSAN HAS A RECALL ON 2005 INFINITI G35'S FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF A CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WHICH HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS CAUSING THIS LOSS OF POWER PROBLEM. I CALLED NISSAN TO SEE IF MY DAUGHTER'S CAR WAS ON THE RECALL LIST AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT. AN INFINITI DEALER RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE CAR THIS MORNING AND CONFIRMED THAT THE CAR'S CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAD FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD HONOR THIS RECALL ON EVERY 2005 INFINITI G35 VEHICLE - NOT JUST THOSE VEHICLES WHOSE VIN NUMBERS APPEAR ON THE RECALL LIST - ESPECIALLY THOSE VEHICLES WHO HAVE HAD THE SENSOR FAIL. THE REPAIR TOTALS $425.00 AND I AM SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT OF THAT AMOUNT FROM NISSAN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY ON THE HIGHWAY, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND STARTED TO BLINK. AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON, THE LIGHT STILL BLINKS. TRYING TO PERFORM AN ECU RESET, THE BLINKING STOPS FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE AND RESUMES. TOOK THE CAR TO THE INFINITI DEALERSHIP IN PALM SPRINGS, CA AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL HAS ALREADY BEEN APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS AND I WAS INFORMED THAT IF I DON'T FIX IT, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. IF THE RECALL HAS BEEN APPLIED, THEN THE PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. *TR

SINCE OCTOBER 2012 (APPROXIMATE), I HAVE NOTICED INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION IN THE 2005 G35. CURRENTLY, THE CAR IS CONSUMING APPROXIMATELY 1/2 QUART EVERY 1000 MILES. THERE ARE NO OIL LEAKS OR VISIBLE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST. THE CONDITION CONTINUES TO DETERIORATE. ALSO PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED. I HAD IT TESTED TO IDENTIFY WHICH AIR BAG WAS DEFECTIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED SPORADICALLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG HARNESS KIT NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V175000 (AIR BAGS, SEATS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD IT FIXED UNDER THE RECALL. A SHORT WHILE AFTER THAT, IT CAME BACK ON AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED AN AIRBAG MODULE. I FIND IT WEIRD THAT MY VEHICLE AND A LOT OF OTHER INFINITI G35S HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM IN THIS ORDER. ALSO EVERY TIME I LEFT DEALERSHIP, A WEEK AFTER, I REALIZED THE THEY HAD DAMAGED THE BRACKETS THAT HOLD THE PLASTIC COVER TO THE FRONT OF THE SEATS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE CAR SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF, NO POWER AT ALL, NO CONTROL OF CAR AT ALL. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR DOES START AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES SINCE. VERY SCARY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. IT HAPPENS WITHOUT NOTICE. I CALLED INFINITI AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS NOT MANUFACTURED AT THE PLANT THEY WERE CALLING RECALLS FOR. WELL EXCUSE ME INFINITI YOUR PROBLEM IS WIDE SPREAD AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS (MY INFINITY CASE NUMBER FOR THIS PROBLEM **AS WELL AS MY PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR PROBLEM THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS IS 15697563). THEY INFORMED ME THE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS REPLACED IN 2010 - IT WAS NOT. I HAVE THE CAR-FACTS TO PROVE THIS. INFINITI STATED TO BRING MY CAR BACK TO NORWOOD, MASSACHUSETTS INFINITI FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I WILL DO THIS THIS WEEK BUT SADLY EXPECT THE SAME RUN AROUND I HAVE RECEIVED BEFORE. THIS CAR BETWEEN THE TWO SAFETY ISSUES I HAVE REPORTED ABOVE IS AT EXTREME CRASH AND INJURY RISK. *TR

VACUUMING CAR AND PUT BOTH SEATS IN A FORWARD POSITION. WHEN I WAS DONE THE SEATS WOULD NOT MOVE BACK TO ITS REGULAR POSITION. PASSENGER SEAT WAS ALREADY GIVING ME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, HOWEVER BACK PART OF SEAT STILL WORKED. THE DRIVER'S SEAT I HAD NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH BEFORE. BOTH SEATS ARE NOW IN AN AWKWARD UNDRIVABLE POSITION AND WILL NOT BUDGE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT THE DEALER WILL NOT SELL INDIVIDUAL PARTS, BUT THE SEAT AS A WHOLE WHICH WILL SET ME BACK A COUPLE THOUSAND THAT I DO NOT HAVE. *TR

I WAS PREPARING TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, GOING ABOUT 10 MPH, WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO START IT, AND IT WOULDN'T START, BUT THE "VDC OFF" LIGHT AND "SLIP" LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER A FEW TRIES THE CAR STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT A FEW BLOCKS TO A GAS STATION, BUT THE CAR DIDN'T RUN VERY WELL AT ALL. I COULDN'T GET IT TO RESTART AFTER PARKING IT AT THE GAS STATION AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED FOR REPAIR. THE CAM SENSOR NEEDED REPLACING, AT A COST OF ABOUT $500. THE CAR RAN FINE FOR ABOUT 8 WEEKS, BUT THEN THE "VDC OFF" AND "SLIP" LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN, ALTHOUGH THE CAR SEEMS TO RUN O.K. THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR MORE THAN A FEW MILES UNTIL I HAVE IT REPAIRED AGAIN. THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2003 MODELS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE INVESTIGATED AS A POSSIBLE RECALL FOR NEWER MODELS. IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS, EXPENSIVE PROBLEM. *TR

MY DASH IS MELTING. *TR

I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE. LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING OR HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. VERY PREVALENT. AS YOU ARE DRIVING THE DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR STARTS TO MAKE SOME NOISE THEN IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN THE MOTOR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND DOES NOT START ONCE IT STOPS. THERE IS NO WARNING. IT TAKES A WHILE FOR THE SENSOR TO RESET -- PUTTING ME AND MY VEHICLE IN HARMS WAY. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON A VERY BUSY OVERPASS. THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. I HAD A HARD TIME STEERING AND GETTING OVER OUT OF THE WAY. I WAS ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES BY OTHER CARS DRIVING 50 PLUS MPH. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. ONCE WE GOT TO THE AUTO REPAIR FACILITY. IT STARTED AGAIN BUT THEN SHUT OFF. I WAS GOOGLING THIS SYMPTOM AND THE YEAR, MAKE MODEL (2005 INFIINITI G35 ENGINE STALL) AND THIS WAS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WERE PUT AT RISK OF INJURY. I WAS CONVINCED THIS WAS MY PROBLEM, TOO. THE AUTO REPAIR FACILITY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND THIS WAS THE CODE THEY GOT AS WELL. I ALREADY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS GOING TO BE. SO MY QUESTION IS... WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED IF? IT IS DANGEROUS. I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. THANK GOD MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT DRIVING. *TR

WHILE EATING LUNCH AT BOJANGLES IN PETERSBURG, VA., PEOPLE INSIDE THE RESTAURANT NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT OF MY CAR WHILE PARKED. FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY A VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER IN AREA. FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AFTERWARDS. IT APPEARS THE SEAT CAUGHT FIRE UNEXPECTEDLY. INTERIOR OF CAR ALSO CAUGHT FIRE AND WAS ON BURNING UNTIL EXTINGUISHED. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IN MY 2005 INFINITI G35 CAME ON, ON OR ABOUT MARCH 2014. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER IT WAS THE HARNESS WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THE HARNESS WAS REPAIRED AND I PICKED UP MY CAR. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW AIRBAG MODULE. I CALLED INFINITI CORPORATE AND FILED A CLAIM. INFINITI CORPORATE AGREED TO PAY FOR THE AIRBAG MODULE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG MODULE. THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A SPIRAL CABLE, AND "THAT WILL BE $600, LET US KNOW WHEN TO ORDER THE PART". I CALLED INFINITI CORPORATE TO REOPEN MY CLAIM. I QUESTIONED WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS ILLUMINATING WHEN THE HARNESS AND AIRBAG MODULE HAVE BEEN REPLACED. I WAS TOLD "SOMETIMES IT'S A 3 STEP PROCESS". INFINITI CORPORATE LATER DENIED THE CLAIM STATING THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG MODULE AS A FAVOR AND THEY ONLY ALLOW 1 FAVOR PER CUSTOMER. THEY ALSO STATED THEY WERE TOLD THE SPIRAL CABLE MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE REVIEWED BLOGS ABOUT THE 2005 INFINITI G35 AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG AND HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET BUT THE AIRBAG PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. I UNDERSTAND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ALSO LOOKING AT AIRBAG ISSUES WITH SEVERAL MODELS OF CAR. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO LOOK INTO THE AIRBAG ISSUE FURTHER AS CLEARLY THE HARNESS (WHICH WAS RECALLED) DOES NOT RESOLVE THE AIRBAG ISSUE ON THE 2005 INFINITI G35. *TR

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR AIRBAGS ON THIS VEHICLE ON APRIL 27, 2010. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING EVERY SINCE DAY ONE, SO I LOOKED UP THE RECALLS AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEMS. I ALSO CALLED INFINITY AND THEY SAID THE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN FIXED AND NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WILL BE GIVEN TO THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME MATTER, AND BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEMS HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED BY THE DEALER, UNLESS THEY PERFORMED A PARTIAL FIX TO GET THE CUSTOMER OUT OF THE DOOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY IF THIS VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH AND THE AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY AND ANOTHER INNOCENT PERSON MAY BE KILLED BY THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. IF THIS HAPPENS, I AM LIKE THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, I WILL SEEK LEGAL ACTION AGAINST NISSAN AND INFINITY FOR THEIR POOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AS REPORTED BY SO MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS FLASHING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 158,000.

DRIVING 70 MILE IN FWY MY CAR ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF COMPLETELY I ALMOST DIED OUT THERE BECAUSE OF CARS BEHIND ME. I CALMLY CHANGED STEERING WHEEL TO RIGHT SIDE OF FWY WITH LEFT OVER SPEED AFTER 5 OF VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST CRASHED ME AND EACH OTHER. TURN OFF ENGINE AND STARTED ENGINE FEW TIME AND IT WORKED SO I SENT MY CAR TO SHOP AND THEY SAID IT'S A 2 OF SENSOR PROB. AND WHILE HE WAS MOVING MY CAR, DRIVER SIDE SEAT SWITCH BUTTON WAS ON FIRE! FIRE! WHAT IS GOING ON. I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OUT THERE IF NOT FOR GOD. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINED ON SENSOR PROB WITH ENGINE SHUT OFF, ISN'T THIS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE???? RISKING ALL OF PEOPLE'S LIVES???? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, SLIT, AND NBC OFF INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AFTER RESTARTING IT THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAM SHAFT AND CRANK SHAFT SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

I OWN A 2005 INFINITI G35X. THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AN ESTIMATED REPAIR COST OF $1200 WAS PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO REFUSED TO PROVIDED ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED UNDER RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V175000 (AIR BAGS, SEATS), BUT CLEARLY THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER REPAIRED. INVESTIGATION OF THE INFINITI USER FORUM WILL CLEARLY INDICATE THAT AIRBAG FAILURE (POST RECALL) IS VERY COMMON IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, WHILE INFINITI/NISSAN IS CONTINUALLY IGNORING THE ISSUE. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS IN THE FORUMS AND THE NHTSA WEBSITE, I BELIEVE THAT INFINITI/NISSAN NEVER REPAIRED THE CARS UNDER THE RECALL, BUT MERELY DISABLED THE WARNING LIGHT DURING THE RECALL REPAIR VISIT. THE INITIAL FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY AT 65000 MILES. THE FAILURE HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 89600. I REQUEST NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE IN THE MATTER AND HELP THE CONSUMERS FROM AN IMPENDING FATAL DISASTER. *TR

CAM SHAFT SENSOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SAYING IT WAS THAT. REPLACED BOTH SENSORS COSTING $150 FOR AUTOZONE PARTS LIGHT STILL ON. READ THAT SOME HAD SUCCESS UNPLUGGING BATTERY FOR 24 HOURS AND FILLING THE OIL UP.....SMH SAD SEAT SLIDES FORWARD WHEN BREAKING ABOUT 4". *TR

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND SEPARATING IN MANY DIFFERENT PLACES. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND MAINTAINED TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I OWNED MANY CARS AND NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH ANY ONE OF THEM. *TR

IN DECEMBER 2013 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 60 MPH WHEN VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP BECAUSE OF THE SPEED I WAS DRIVING. LATER ON MY TRIP HOME I WAS DOING 45 MPH AND VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND LOSS ALL CONTROL OF VEHICLE. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTOZONE TO SCAN AND SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS. I CHANGED THE SENSORS AND HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL 3/20/2014 WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED SHUTTING DOWN AGAIN. FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS BAD FUEL. TRIED DIFFERENT FUEL STATION AND VEHICLE STILL WOULD SHUT DOWN UNEXPECTED. WHEN VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN YOU LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THE ROUTE THAT I DRIVE DUE TO A LOT OF CURVES IN THE ROAD. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO AUTOZONE AGAIN TO SCAN FOR THE PROBLEM AND NOW IT'S THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. CALLED INFINITI TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMMENTS ON THIS PROBLEM. INFINITI SAID THERE WAS NO OPEN RECALL. BOUGHT SENSOR AND WILL REPAIR MYSELF BEFORE A SERIOUS INCIDENT OCCURS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS OVER HALF A TANK WHEN TANK IS ACTUALLY VERY NEAR EMPTY. WHEN TANK IS FILLED UP, GAUGE GOES TO JUST ABOVE FULL, AND SLOWLY DECREASES TO JUST OVER HALF A TANK AS THE TANK NEARS EMPTY. I HAVE TO WATCH MY MILEAGE AND GUESS TO KNOW WHEN I'M ALMOST OUT OF GAS. THIS SEEMS UNSAFE. *JS

THE SEDAN HAS AN AIRBAG THAT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY THE AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES NON STOP ON THE VEHICLE AND DOES NOT GO AWAY. L LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE TOLD THAT IT WAS MY FAULT AND THEY DO NOT WARRANTY SAFETY ISSUES ANYMORE. THEY CONTINUES TO PRINT OUT A STATEMENT FOR $1000 DOLLARS WITH A CODE B1134. ITS A $35,000 DOLLAR CAR IT SHOULD NOT HAVE "SAFETY" ISSUES. MAYBE BECAUSE IT IS TO EXPENSIVE TO DEAL WITH OR IS A HUMAN LIFE MORE EXPENSIVE. THE AIRBAGS ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE FACT THAT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR AN ISSUE THEY NEED TO RESOLVE INTERNALLY IS NOT VERY GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICE OR PROFESSIONAL. I KNOW OF OTHER CONSUMERS ONLINE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE PLENTY OF PEOPLE ONLINE WITH COMPLAINTS. BEING ITS A SAFETY ISSUE THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY I WILL TAKE LEGAL ACTION. I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH THAT JUST HAVE AN ISSUE WITH INFINITI NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. THANKS *TR
