2005 Infiniti G35

WE RECEIVED THE CAR APRIL 18, 2020. WE WERE TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR BESIDES THE GAS GAUGE ON THE DASH. ON APRIL 20,2020, WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STOPPED. WE TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A BIT AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. THE ENGINE WILL REV BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T GO FORWARD NOR REVERSE. WE LET THE CAR REST FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND IT STARTED TO WORK. WE THEN TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY AND HE TOLD US THAT THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T NO GOOD AND THAT'S THERE WAS AN EXHAUST LEAK.

INFINITI G35 SEDAN 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION - UP REV - VQ35DE OIL CONSUMPTION IS BEYOND SAFE AND OPERATIONAL UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. INITIALLY CAR ENGINE SEIZED AFTER 3000 MILES OF DRIVING. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE OIL CONSUMPTION, AND THE CUSTOMER NEEDED TO ADD OIL. (THIS INCIDENT WAS NOT REPORTED BY INFINITI OF MARIN). ACCORDING TO INIFINIT TSB - ITB08-002D - THIS IS AN APPARENT PROBLEM, AND THERE IS A TEST AND SOLUTION FOR THIS FAULTY ENGINE. INIFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS SAYS I AM OUT OF WARRANTY PERIOD, AND THIS WILL HAVE TO BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. THEY ALSO MENTIONED IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DEALERSHIP TO NOTIFY THE CUSTOMERS, AND IT IS OUT OF THEIR CONTROL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DYNAMIC CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED, BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR OR THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,000.

THE VEHICLE THAT I HAVE DONE SO MUCH RESEARCH ON IS THE 2003-2006 G35 WHICH I OWN NOW HAS A ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL STICKING AND GETTING STUCK DURING DRIVING SITUATIONS WHICH TO ME IS A VERY HORRIBLE HAZARD FOR US IF DO TO HIGH MILES ON FREEWAY AND CLUTCH STICKS TO THE FLOOR, WHICH HAD OCCURRED TO ME AND MADE ME PANIC AND ALMOST HAD CAUSES A ACCIDENT REALIZING THAT IT HAD GOT STUCK AND I HAD TO YANK IT OUT THE BOTTOM OF THE FLOOR. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A EXTREME ISSUE TO YOU GUYS AND SHOULD BE NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY TO INFINITY DEALERSHIPS SO THAT THIS CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF. I HAVE LOOKED ALL OVER AND TO MANY OTHERS WHO HAD THE EXACT SAME DEFECT AS MY VEHICLE NOW. *TR

WAS COMING TO A STOP AT RED LIGHT, JUST BEFORE CAR STOPPED MOVING IT FELT LIKE THE TRANS DOWN SHIFTED HARD. I HAD MY FOOT ON BRAKE, ALREADY STOPPED AND CAR LUNGED FORWARD. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO TAKE OFF AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND THE CAR REVVED UP TO ABOUT 6500 RPM FOR 3 TO 4 SECONDS THEN DROPPED DOWN TO NORMAL. I AN POSITIVE I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND THE FLOOR MAT WAS NOT PUSHING THE PEDAL, I TALKED TO MY MECHANIC AND HE THINKS THE THROTTLE HAD TO BE OPEN AS THIS IS A DRIVE BY WIRE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35 COUPE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL ABNORMALLY DROPPED TO THE FLOORBOARD CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE COME RESISTANT TO DOWNSHIFTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED BUT DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER WAS THEN REPLACED BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THERE WERE NO FURTHER REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.
