2007 Infiniti G35 complaints

PURCHASED A NEW 2007 INFINITI G35, VEHICLE HAS UNDER 10000 MILES AND HAS HAD ISSUE ON AT LEAST 6 OCCASIONS. THE CLUTCH PEDAL HAS ONLY PARTIALLY DISENGAGED WHILE SHIFTING. SLOWING THE VEHICLE AND PUMPING THE CLUTCH WILL RELEASE IT. THE SMELL OF CLUTCH IS PRESENT FOLLOWING THE EVENT. INFINITI COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO NO WORK WAS DONE ON MY CAR. IT STILL HAPPENS. ALSO OCCURED ON THE HIGHWAY, LOSS OF POWER ETC. SAFETY CONCERN! *CN

THE 2007 INFINITI G35 SEDAN MANUAL TRANSMISSION'S CLUTCH HAS BEEN KNOWN TO STICK TO THE FLOOR, THUS STRANDING IT'S DRIVER. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH EITHER THE MASTER OR SLAVE CLUTCH CYLINDER. THIS IS RANDOM AND DOES NOT MATTER HOW THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY INFINITI. I PERSONALLY KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR INFINITI, AND THEY HAVE RECOGNIZED THIS AS A COMMON PROBLEM. I FEEL A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN IS NECESSARY TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

USUALLY AFTER THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR A FEW DAYS, I WILL GET IN AND PRESS THE CLUTCH AND IT WILL SINK TO THE GROUND (I.E. THERE IS NO PRESSURE IN THE CLUTCH LINE). AFTER PUMPING IT A FEW TIMES, IT WILL USUALLY REBUILD PRESSURE AND BE DRIVABLE. I HAVE REQUESTED THAT MY DEALERSHIP FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY CLAIM TO BE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE IT, REGARDLESS OF MY EXPLANATION. THEY HAVE BLED THE CLUTCH LINE AT ONE POINT, TEMPORARILY FIXING THE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS NOT A SUSTAINED SOLUTION. *TR

2007 INFINITI G35 WITHOUT DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE CANADIAN VEHICLES HAVE IT. HE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY AMERICAN NEWER CARS DO NOT. *KB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 INFINITI G35. THE VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE FAILURE OCCURS WHILE TURNING OR DRIVING FORWARD AND WAS NOTICED AT 10 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THEY DUPLICATED THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,500.

SUNROOF EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT OF MY 2007 INFINITI G35X. VEHICLE WAS MOVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH - NOTHING HIT THE VEHICLE TO CAUSE THE EXPLOSION. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES OR DEATH. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT, NOR WILL THEY PROVIDE DATA TO BACK UP THEIR STATEMENT THAT THIS IS A SAFE VEHICLE. NO INVESTIGATION OR VEHICLE INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED. SUNROOF WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED WITHOUT MY CONSENT. THEY WANT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY CONCRETE EXPLANATION OR DATA OF WHY THIS OCCURRED? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 INFINITI G35. THE VEHICLE HAS BRIDGESTONE POTENZA, SIZE 245/45R18 TIRES. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD POP. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER AND SHE NOTICED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE BUMPER COVER AND WHEEL PROTECTOR WERE DAMAGED. THE TIRES WERE THE ORIGINAL TIRES. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

ENGINE CONSTANTLY USING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. *TR

I'VE OWNED MY VEHICLE FOR JUST A LITTLE OVER TWO MONTHS AND I REGRET MY CHOICE. THE DRIVER WINDOW ACTS UP. I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOW FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW. I GOES UP EXTREMELY SLOW! THE AUTO BUTTON DOESN'T WORK. JUST TODAY I LOWERED MY WINDOW ALL THE WAY DOWN AND IT WOULDN'T GO UP. I HAD TO USE MY HANDS TO PRY IT UP. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I TAKE MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE INTELLIGENT KEY OFFERED WITH THE NEW TECHNOLOGY PACKAGE IS NOT BUILT TO WITHSTAND NORMAL USE. MY UNIT COMPLETELY DIED WITH 48 HOURS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, LEAVING ME STRANDED AND MISSING MOTHER'S DAY LUNCH. INFINITI HAS ACKNOWLEDGED CONFLICTS WITH THE KEY AND MOBILE PHONES, HOWEVER A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ENACTED. *TR

THERE ARE METAL PAINT FLAKES LODGED IN THE CLEAR-COAT OF THE PAINT JOB, ALL OVER THE VEHICLE. IT SHOWS UP AS SMALL SPECS OF COLOR IN THE PAINT FINISH, REALLY OBVIOUS WHEN YOU HAVE A BLACK CAR. *TR

I BELIEVE THE PAINT ON THE 2007 INFINITI G35 IS DEFECTIVE. THE DEALER DID NOT TELL ME WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THAT IT NEEDED TO BE SEALED. AFTER ONLY HAVING THE VEHICLE 2 MONTHS, THE PAINT ON MY HOOD IS RUINED FROM BIRD DROPPINGS. I WAS AT WORK AND BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO WASH IT OFF MY PAINT WAS RUINED. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM HE TOLD ME THE PAINT WAS SUCH 'HIGH TECH' PAINT THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SEALED AND THEN HE TOLD ME THE DEALERSHIP SPENDS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR HAVING CARS REPAIRED FROM THEIR LOT BECAUSE OF BIRD DROPPINGS. IF THE PAINT IS THAT BAD, IT SHOULD BE SEALED COATED FROM THE FACTORY! *TR

WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL AND GOING DOWNHILL THERE IS A CONSTANT BRAKING FEELING THAT MAKES THE RIDE FEEL JERKY. NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE. SPOKE WITH OTHER OWNERS AND THEY HAVE SAME EXPERIENCE AND DEA;ER ADVISED NOTHING CAN BE DONE. SUNROOF IS VERY NOISY WHEN OPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE FLAP THAT POPS UP WHEN THE ROOF IS OPENED IS THE CULPRIT. WHEN YOU HOLD DOWN WITH YOUR HAND IT IS MUCH QUIETER. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 INFINITI G35X SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT 60 KM/H AND ACCELERATE THE CAR ALARM COMES UP "ENGINE SERVICE SOON" AND "SLIP" AND "VDC" AND IT STARTS GOING CRAZY DOESN'T SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE IT STOPS DIFFERENTLY. IT IS HARD TO EXPLAIN BUT SCARY IT HAS LESS THAN 5000 KM IN. ALSO THERE IS SOME NOISE TOO. THE DEALER SHIP TRY TO FIND IT NOW BUT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THESE GUYS. WITH THE FIRST THING WITH ALL THE ALARMS. IF I TURN THE ENGINE OFF LEAVE IT FOR A MINUTE AND TURN IT BACK IT RESETS THE ALARM BUT NOT THE SERVICE ENGINE ONE. THEY SAYING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I WISH I CAN CHANGE THIS CAR TO ANOTHER BRAND. THIS IS SCARY TO DRIVE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL. ALSO CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME INFO ABOUT CANADIAN GOV. WEBSITE I CAN FILE MY REPORT TOO. THANKS ZOLTAN. *NM
