THIS CAR HAS EXCESSIVE BURNING OF OIL AND IT IS WELL KNOWN IN THE FORUMS FOR G35 DRIVERS. THIS IS FOLLOW UP ON A COMPLAINT I JUST MADE. I HAD THE CAR'S OIL CHANGED WITH SYNTHETIC AND ALWAYS MAKE SURE IT IS CHANGED EVERY 3-5000 MILES. THOUGH THE CAR BURNED OFF NEARLY 4.25 QTS OF OIL IN UNDER 4,000 MILES CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY ENGINE, THE OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON THE WHOLE TIME EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE CAR. THE MECHANICS I WORK WITH INDICATED THAT THEY HAD THE SAME EXACT CAR AND HAD BLOWN 3 OF THE EXACT SAME ENGINES BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM. THIS IS ABSURD. PLEASE NHTSA PLEASE HELP CONSUMERS THAT ARE HAVING BLOWN ENGINES DUE TO THE LACK OF COOPERATION BY INFINITI. *TR

THE CAR BURNED NEARLY 4.2. QTS OF OIL IN UNDER 4000 MILES. MASSIVE NUMBER OF USERS INDICATE SAME PROBLEM OF INSANE AMOUNTS OF OIL CONSUMPTION ON VARIOUS FORUMS ON THE INTERNET. THIS IS MOST LIKELY ALSO A SERIOUS SMOG VIOLATION IN CA AND ALSO IS CAUSING ENGINES TO BLOW UP. NUMEROUS MECHANICS WILL VERIFY THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ENGINES BLOWING AT UNDER 100,00 MILES DO TO EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE PROOF OF MY LAST OIL CHANGE AND NUMBER OF MILES. ALSO THE AMOUNT OF OIL THAT CAME OUT OF MY CAR WAS LESS THAN A QUARTER OF QUART AFTER ONLY 4,000 MILES OF DRIVING. MY MECHANIC VERIFIED THAT THERE ARE NO LEAKS. PLEASE NHTSA! PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE FURTHER. 20,0000 DOLLAR CAR IS BASICALLY TOTALED NOW. ALL DEALERS AND NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A HIGH POSSIBILITY THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND ARE HIDING IT. ALSO, THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR THREE YEARS AND NO MATTER HOW YOU RESET IT, IT WILL CONTINUALLY RETURN TO BEING ON, INDICATING SOME SORT OF PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF 65 MILES WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF; I'M BLESSED THAT I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AND MANEUVER OVER QUICKLY WITHOUT ANOTHER CAR REAR ENDING ME. AFTER SITTING FOR 10 MINUTES THEN THE POWER KICKED BACK IN. WHAT COULD BE THE ISSUE......NOW THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS ON SO IS THE SLIP AND VDC LIGHT AS WELL. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM FOR AT A MONTH WHILE DRIVING CAR CUTTING OFF. BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME CAR COMPLETELY CUTTING OFF AND LIGHTS COMING ON (SERVICE ENGINE, VDC, AND SLIP) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN BLINKING SINCE I TOOK OWNERSHIP OF VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2015. THE CURRENT VEHICLE MILES IS 152,000. *TR
