2004 Infiniti G35

HELLO I PURCHASED A 2004 INFINITI G35 SEDAN FROM STAR MAX IN ORLANDO FL EAST COLONIAL DRIVE I'VE ONLY HAD IT 3 DAYS TOPS , FIRST OF ALL I LEFT AND THE GAS GAUGE ISN'T WORKING OR THE SPEEDOMETER , ALSO MY RADIO KEEPS GOING IN AND OUT MY LEFT WINDOW SEEMS TO GO UP AND DOWN WHEN IT WANTS TOO, MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS ON AND MY CARS MAKING A VERY FUNNY ROARING NOISE IN THE BACK. ALSO WHEN I GO TO MAKE TURNS ,MY WHEEL JUST KEEPS TURNING ON ITS OWN AND HARD TO TURN BACK STRAIGHT IT LOCKS UP . AND I BELIEVE THERE MAY BE A FUEL PUMP ISSUE AS WELL I'VE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL SALES MEN THERE AND COMPLAINED SAYING I NEED TO FIX THINGS THE RIGHT WAY OR I NEED A DIFFERENT CAR IM PAYING $325 A MONTH WAY OUT OF MY BUDGET ON A BUY HERE PAY HERE CAR THAT'S NOT EVEN WORTH IT AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME I NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS FAST! *TR

WHILE DRIVING, AC CAME ON FULL BLAST AND I COULD NOT CONTROL IT. NONE OF THE BUTTONS WORKED ON THE UNIT AT ALL. I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND THEIR FIX IS THE CONTROLLER BOARD OR AFTERMARKET RADIO SYSTEM. I HAVE AN AFTERMARKET RADIO/GPS UNIT INSTALLED, BUT IT STILL HAVE ZERO CONTROL OVER AC UNIT. NO PROBLEM WITH RADIO EVER. ALL OF THIS IS INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES I CAN CONTROL IT, BUT IT WANT LAST LONG. DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN THIS WINTER, SINCE I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 5 MONTHS. I'LL KEEP RESEARCHING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED AND RESUMED IN OPERATION NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD REQUIRE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE STARTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CAM SHAFT SENOR WAS REPLACED. ONE YEAR AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNAVAILABLE.

I HAD A LOW OIL LIGHT AND DECIDED TO CHANGE THE OIL AND SPARK PLUGS. WHEN I REMOVED THE SPARK PLUG I FOUND OIL POOLING IN THE SPARK PLUG TUBE AND SAW AN OBVIOUS LEAK IN THE VALVE COVER SEAL. THE OIL LEVEL HAD REACHED 1CM ABOVE THE CONNECTOR IN THE BOOT. THIS CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ENGINE FIRE WHILE DRIVING. THE VALVE COVERS CONTAIN BAD SPARK PLUG TUBE SEALS. THIS ALLOWS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OIL TO POOL IN THE SPARK PLUG TUBE. WHEN THE OIL REACHES THE SPARK PLUG BOOT IT CAN IGNITE AND CAUSE ENGINE FIRES AT HIGH SPEED. *TR

CAR FALTERED AT NORMAL TRAFFIC SPEED, THREATENED TO STOP RUNNING, SHIFTED AWKWARDLY, DROVE ERRATICALLY -- TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE SEEMED A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS -- THEN WAS DIFFICULT TO START ONCE STOPPED. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME AFFECTED PART ON THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR, BUT DIDN'T INVOLVE MY PARTICULAR VIN -- THIS CAMPAIGN (03V455000) PERHAPS SHOULD BE READDRESSED TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL VEHICLES. *TR

DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND MY ENGINE STALLED WITH ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE WITH NO POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. TURN THE IGNITION KEY OFF AND WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO START THE ENGINE. THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT STAYED ON. THE DEALER RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND DETECTED A BAD CAM SHAFT SENSOR. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2004 G35X OUTRIGHT FOR 9 YEARS NOW. BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN 2005. I HAVE KEPT UP ALL THE MAINTENANCE, AND HAVE LOVED MY CAR UP UNTIL THIS POINT. I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD, AND DECIDED TO PASS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY SPEED WAS APPROX 70 MPH AND I HAD NOT QUITE PASSED THEM WHEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. THE VDC LIGHT/SLIP LIGHT/SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ALL CAME ON. DASH LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. MY STEERING WAS NON EXISTANT, AND HAD COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. LUCKILY NO ONE ELSE WAS ON THE ROAD!!! AND I COASTED INTO A DRIVEWAY. WAITED A FEW MINUTES, AND THE CAR STARTED UP FINE. FAST FORWARD TO JANUARY, AND I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC GOING ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. LUCKILY, AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO GET CAR TO A SAFE PLACE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A FAILURE ON 2 SENSORS. CAM AND CRANKSHAFT, THE SAME SENSORS THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED ON THE 2003 MODELS AND 2005!!!! VERY HARROWING, AND FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. ALSO MEMORABLE ON MY PURSE AS THE COST TO FIX WAS $770, HOWEVER THE DEALER WAS KIND TO GIVE ME A DISCOUNT AND A LOANER CAR, AND GOOD SERVICE. SHOULDNT THE 2004 BEEN RECALLED AS WELL!!!???? SEEMS THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME MAKE/MODEL AND SAME DEFECTIVE PART. I AM GLAD I WAS NOT AND THAT ANOTHER CAR WERE NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT STEMMING FROM THIS DEFECT. THIS CAR WILL CLEARLY BE OUT ON THE ROADS FOR AWHILE, AS SOME MIGHT GIVE IT TO THEIR KIDS FOR THEIR FIRST CAR, EVEN THOUGH IT IS 10 YEARS OLD. I'M CLEARLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35 COUPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL OF THE WARNING LAMPS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

I'M THE SECOND OWNER THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, AND ALTHOUGH I DID NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM SOONER, THE 3RD LIGHT ON MY 2004 G35 DOES NOT WORK (MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE THE SPOILER). WHAT I DID WAS PURCHASE A USED 3RD LIGHT FROM A SALVAGE YARD....AND IT DID WORK (BRIEFLY), NOW IT'S NOT WORKING.....SO I'M BACK TO SQUARE ONE. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS UNUSUAL, SO I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND MUCH TO SURPRISE CAME UP WITH MANY HITS OF OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE.......SINCE READING THE ISSUE OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THE 3RD LIGHT NOT FUNCTIONING I HAVE NOTICED THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLES 3RD LIGHT ISSUE ON OTHER G35 ON THE ROAD, MORE THAN LIKELY THE OWNERS HAVE NOT NOTICED THE LIGHT NOT OPERATING.........THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE 3RD LIGHT IS TO BE SEEN BY OTHERS DRIVING BEHIND YOU.......IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN, I HOPE THE NHTSA AND INFINITI TAKES STEPS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR
