2006 Infiniti G35 complaints

THE CAR IS HAVING TONS OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH CLIMATE CONTROL , RADIO AND PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSORS. BODY CONTROL MODULE AND SEATS. CAR WON'T START AND I HAVE TAKEN TO 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS AND EXPERTS AND CANNOT FIGURE OUT ISSUE WITH CAR. CAR IS NOT OPERABLE AND WON'T START. CONTACTED INFINITY AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DON'T HAVE ANY OPEN RECALLS.THEY DON'T OFFER ANY INFORMATION OR HELP ON MAJOR CAR ISSUES FOR A 2006 MODEL. PLEASE ASSIST ON THIS MATTER.INFINITY IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL ISSUES WITH ELECTRICAL AND BCM ISSUES ON G35'S. *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

MY FANS QUIT WORKING IN MY CAR WE REPLACED ALL FUSES AND FANS 3 TIMES ALREADY AND NOW HAVE WIRES MELTING FROM THE FAN TO THE HARNESS WE LOOKED AT ALL WIRES MADE SURE THEY WERE NOT MELTED THE FIRST TIME BUT NOW THEIR MELTED AND FANS NOT WORKING FUSES EITHER. PLUS IT OVER HEATS. *TR

VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY WHILE COMING TO A STOP IN A SLOT PARKING SPACE. OPERATORS FOOT WAS ON THE BREAK PEDDLE AT THE TIME OF THE RAPID ACCELERATION. VEHICLE THEN CRASHED INTO A TREE AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CRASH CAUSED EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE TO THE HOOD AND FRONT BUMPER AND THE ENERGY ABSORBING SYSTEM. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BUT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LAMP IS ON. *TR

I RECENTLY NOTICED RUST POPPING THROUGH THE UPPER DOOR TAPE ON BOTH FRONT DOORS ON THE 06 INFINITI G35X. CLOSER INSPECTION SHOWED THAT BOTH FRONT DOORS DUE TO A DESIGN OR QUALITY ISSUE WAS RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT ON BOTH DOORS. MY MAIN CONCERN, OUTSIDE OF HOW BAD THE RUST LOOKS IS THE CRASH AND SAFETY INTEGRITY OF THE DOORS IN A CRASH. I BROUGHT THE CAR BY THE DEALER AND THEY IDENTIFIED THERE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR 03-04 G35 AND THE 06 G35 AND THEY COULD NOT ASSIST FURTHER. I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND OPENED A CASE AND THE END RESULT WAS A DENIAL FOR INDICATING THE CAUSE WAS ENVIRONMENTAL AND NOT THERE PROBLEM. I COULD NOT ACCEPT THIS AND INDICATED BOTH OF MY 2006 G35 FRONT DOOR ARE RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE AND IS CLEARLY A DESIGN OR PART INTEGRITY ISSUE AND NOT A ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. HE AGAIN STATED THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE HE COULD DO AND OFFERED A SERVICE SPIFF INSTEAD. I INDICATED THIS WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND REQUESTED A CALL BACK FROM HIS SUPERVISOR. A CALL WAS RECEIVED THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY FROM HIS SUPERVISOR WHO STATED THEIR DECISION STANDS AND DOORS ARE RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AND WAS NOT NISSAN ISSUE AND THEIR DECISION WAS FINAL. ADVISED I STILL WOULD NOT ACCEPT THIS AND SHE STATED THIS WAS END OF THE LINE FOR MY FILE. I AM POSTING THIS SO ALL CAN BE INFORMED HOW NISSAN STANDS BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND HOW THEY REALLY FEEL ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS-THEY DO NOT CARE. MY MAIN CONCERN OUTSIDE OF THE UNSATISFACTORY LOOK OF THE RUST I

I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MY MECHANIC DO SERVICING ON MY INFINITI UNTIL HE CLOSED THE BUSINESS. SINCE THEN, I HAVE BEEN DOING MY OWN OIL CHANGES AT HOME. DOING SO, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE AMOUNT OF USED ENGINE OIL IS ROUGHLY 2.5 QUARTS. IN THE OWNERS MANUAL, WHEN CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL WITH OIL FILTER, THE VEHICLE INTAKES 5 QUARTS OF OIL. IT SEEMS LIKE THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL BECAUSE I DON'T SEE ANY OIL LEAK MARKS ON MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

I WAS HEADING SOUTH ON I 75 IN FLORIDA HEADING TOWARDS BRADENTON IN THE PASSING LANE DOING BETWEEN 75 & 80 WHEN MY ENGINE SHUT DOWN MAKING A LOUD NOISE. I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN THE EMERGENCY LANE, LUCKILY THERE WAS ONE. THE CAR BEHIND ME WENT TO THE MIDDLE LANE AT THAT POINT. I AM SO FURIOUS THIS HAPPENED AS I JUST HAD MY CAR SERVICED THE WEEK BEFORE AND I AM 72, A SENIOR CITIZEN. THE COOLING FANS APPARENTLY KNOCKED OUT THE THERMOSTAT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER IN TAMPA WHO THEN INFORMS ME THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED ON A RECALL TILL OCTOBER AND THAT INFINITI WOULD PAY FOR THE COOLING FANS BUT NOT THE THERMOSTAT... I THINK ALL INFINITI OWNERS SHOULD'VE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAD IT FIXED BUT NO LETTERS WERE WRITTEN, ITS AN UNWRITTEN RECALL APPARENTLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS. I FIND FAULT WITH THIS SITUATION BECAUSE I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED WAITING FOR HELP JUST BEING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD LIKE THAT ON AN INTERSTATE.... SHAME ON INFINITI FOR NOT MAKING THIS A TRUE RECALL.... ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE THEY OFFICIALLY RECALL IT?? I NO LONGER HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE IN INFINITI AND AM LOOKING FOR A DIFFERENT VEHICLE TO PURCHASE, THIS ONE IS OFF MY LIST NOW... THIS CAR HAS BEEN VERY EXPENSIVE TO KEEP UP.... *TR

I AM UNSURE OF THE ORIGINAL DATE THAT I NOTICED. I DID CALL MY LOCAL INFINITI DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT A RECALL AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NONE. MY DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL SPOTS. I CANNOT CLEAN IT AND IT IS EXTREMELY STICKY SO EVERYTHING GETS STUCK TO IT. *TR

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.

1. CAR WAS HARD TO STOP WHEN BRAKING FOR A LIGHT 2. CAR ACCELERATED ON IS OWN WHEN ENTERING DRIVEWAY HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES 3. CHECKED AROUND THE PEDALS FOR ANY THING THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS. NOTHING WAS FOUND SO I TOOK THE CAR FOR A TEST DRIVE. AND WHEN I SLOWED ON MY STREET PRIOR TO TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY THE CAR TOOK OFF ON IT'S OWN AGAIN. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO STOP IT. WHEN I DID THE ENGINE REDLINED BY ITSELF. *TR

DRIVING SLOW IN TRAFFIC JAM, PRESS ON GAS CAR DIED, JUST CUT OFF. WITHOUT WARNING. NO WARNING LIGHTS PREVIOUSLY OR DURING. *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 MANUAL TRANSMISSION G35 THAT IS CONSUMING UP TO 2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. I DID NOT REALIZE THIS WAS HAPPENING UNTIL MY ENGINE MADE A LOUD REPETITIVE TICKING NOISE AND WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL THERE WAS LESS THAN A QUART IN IT. I'VE SINCE CONTINUED TOPPING OFF MY OIL WEEKLY AND CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIPS. SINCE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS REPLACE THE BLOCK MYSELF. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED HOW THEY ARE HANDLING THIS SITUATION WITH NOT ONLY ME BUT MANY OTHER INFINITI OWNERS. ANY INPUT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT TRACK ON MY 2006 INFINITE G35X HAS BROKEN ON 3 OCCASIONS AND HAS RENDERED THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE WITHOUT EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN DATED ON JULY 2007 AS SEATS BULLETIN 02080. THIS TSB SHOULD BECOME A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. AND IS VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR FOR THE CONSUMER. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM FOR THE MAKE AND MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE AND INFINITE NEEDS TO DO A RECALL. *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 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

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.

CAR THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FAILS TO OPERATE

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 NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,860.

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI G35 COUPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS AN OVERCONSUMPTION OF OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI G35 COUPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED VERY LITTLE ENGINE POWER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOPS.

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

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

3RD BRAKE LIGHT NON-FUNCTIONAL. *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

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

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

G35 SEDAN ,THAT THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT (THE ONE IN THE BACK GLASS) EITHER DOES NOT WORK, OR WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI G35 COUPE.

THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER YET THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AND THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN, TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED HER THAT THE CLUTCH WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 94,800. UPDATED 01/24/11 *CN UPDATED 04/14/11

2006 INFINITI G35.
