2004 Infiniti G35

2004 INFINITI G35 LOST POWER WHEN DRIVING. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT AS WELL AS VDC LIGHTS ARE ON. IT IS HESITANT TO START AFTER THAT. HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST ONE TIME EACH DURING THE LAST THREE TIMES THE CAR WAS DRIVEN. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS THE IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN TURNING AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO COAST THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SAME ISSUE EXIST ON THE 2003 G35 IN WHICH THERE WAS A RECALL FOR, BUT NONE EXISTS FOR THE 2004 MODELS. CONTACTED INFINIT IN WHICH I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO ACTIVE CAMPAIGNS FOR MY MODEL, EXCEPT FOR THE SIDE AIRBAGS. WAS TOLD THAT THIS WOULD BE TREATED AS A REPAIR (SUBJECT TO VERY HIGH DEALER COSTS) AND NOT A RECALL. I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER POST ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE SAME MODEL AND THE SAME COMPLAINT THAT IT IS NOT ADDRESSED BY INFINITI. HOW HAS INFINITI VERIFIED THAT THIS DOES NOT EXIST IN OTHER MODEL, ESPECIALLY BEING SO CLOSE THE 2003 AND 2004?!? THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR DIED WITH NO WARNING THEN TOOK SEVERAL SECONDS TO RESTART. WHEN STARTED, THE VDC, SLIP, AND ENGINE LIGHT WHERE ALL ON. CAR WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE 2 CODES FOR THE CAMSHIFT POSITION CENTER WERE GIVEN. THE CAR IS HARD TO START AND OFTEN DIES DURING IDLE TIME. WHEN CHECKING ON THE RECALL, MY VIN WAS NOT ONE LISTED, HOWEVER IT APPEARS TO HAVE THE SAME CAMSHAFT SENSOR IDENTIFIED BY INFINITI.

COMPLAINT AGAINST "INFINITI OF BEVERLY HILLS". I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO GET THE NECESSARY RECALL FOR MY PASSENGER AIRBAG. "PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES ON DASH." PERFORM RECALL P0339 G35 SAB CONNECTOR ITB10-034. ACCORDING TO INFINITI THEY WANT ME TO FIRST PAY TO FIX MY PASSENGER SEAT AS MY PASSENGER SEAT SWITCH IS BROKEN AND WILL NOT MOVE BACK AND FORTH. THIS WILL COST ME $300.79 TO FIX THE PASSENGER SEAT SWITCH FOR THE PART. THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HONOR THE RECALL WITHOUT ME HAVING TO FIX ANOTHER PART OF THE CAR. I'M NOT IN A POSITION TO SPEND ANOTHER 300 + LABOR CHARGES TO REPAIR THE SEAT AS TIMES ARE ROUGH WITH WORK AND FINANCES.

WINDOW GOES DOWN ON ITS ON WHEN TRY TO PUT IT UP JUST COMES RIGHT DOWN ALARM GOES ON BUT DNT LOCK DOORS DASH LIGHT CUTS OFF AT TIMES WHEN I ACCELERATE VEHICLE STARTS OFF FINE 2 SECONDS LATER FEELS LIKE IT LOCKS UP AND JUST GETS SLUGGISH STARTS RUNNING FINE COME TO COMPLETE STARTS AND TAKES OFF SLOW LIGHTS COME ON DASH VEHICLE WON'T START I PULL KEY OUT IGNITION PUT BACK AND STARTS UP FINE.
