I BOUGHT A 2005 INFINITI G35 LAST YEAR AND DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION DEFECT THAT THE G35 HAS. I RECENTLY DEVELOPED A KNOCKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE AND WHEN I CHECKED THE OIL I NOTICED THE ENGINE WAS LOW ON OIL. I FILLED THE CAR UP WITH THE 2 QUARTS OF OIL THAT WAS MISSING. I CHECKED THE ENGINE, ENGINE BAY AND ALSO UNDER THE CAR TO SEE IF THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK PRESENT BUT THERE WASN'T ANY. A FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION THAT THE CAR IS KNOWN TO HAVE AND TO MY SURPRISE MY CAR WAS CONSUMING A QUART OF OIL EVER 500 MILES
EXPLODING SUNROOF. 2005 INFINITI G35 COUPE. DRIVING ONTO EXPRESSWAY FROM ENTRANCE RAMP, GAINING SPEED, SUDDEN EXPLOSIVE SOUND ABOVE HEAD, NO LOSS OF CONTROL OF CAR. STOPPED AND INVESTIGATED AND THE ENTIRE SUNROOF HAD BLOWN INTO PIECES ALL OVER MY TRUNK ON TO ROAD. IT WAS EXPLOSIVE.
I OWN A 2005 G35 COUPE AND STARTED NOTICING THAT THE MOTOR IS BURNING A LOT OF OIL. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT MY YEAR OF CAR HAS PROBLEMS WITH OIL CONSUMPTION. SO I CALLED MY LOCAL INFINITY AND THEY SAID THAT THEY CAN PERFORM THE TEST BUT IF I WANT TO FIX IT, ILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET. IS THAT RIGHT? ARE THEY…

I OWN A 2005 G35 COUPE AND STARTED NOTICING THAT THE MOTOR IS BURNING A LOT OF OIL. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT MY YEAR OF CAR HAS PROBLEMS WITH OIL CONSUMPTION. SO I CALLED MY LOCAL INFINITY AND THEY SAID THAT THEY CAN PERFORM THE TEST BUT IF I WANT TO FIX IT, ILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET. IS THAT RIGHT? ARE THEY SUPPOSE TO FIX IT? IS IT REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL?
FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK . IT NEVER GOES BELOW 2/3 FULL AND COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO RUN OUT OF GAS. IF THIS HAPPENED WHEN ON THE FREEWAY IT COULD LEAD TO A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS STEERING AND BRAKES WOULD BE AFFECTED ALONG WITH AVOIDING OTHER VEHICLES IF CAR LOST POWER INTRAFFIC.
TAKATA RECALL MY 2005 INFINITI G35 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF EVERY YEAR PRIOR AND AFTER. THE CAR WAS PROBABLY PUT TOGETHER IN 2005 AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE THE ALERT IS NOW FLASHING. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH MY OLDER INFINITI. THE ALERT WILL NOT TURN OFF. IT WENT OFF WHEN I DROVE BACK…

TAKATA RECALL MY 2005 INFINITI G35 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF EVERY YEAR PRIOR AND AFTER. THE CAR WAS PROBABLY PUT TOGETHER IN 2005 AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE THE ALERT IS NOW FLASHING. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH MY OLDER INFINITI. THE ALERT WILL NOT TURN OFF. IT WENT OFF WHEN I DROVE BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER SPENDING OVER $2500 TO GET IT FIXED.
ENGINE SHUTOFF WITHOUT WARNING. SERVICE ENGINE SOON, SLIP, AND VDC OFF INDICATORS ALL IMMEDIATELY ILLUMINATED. PROBLEM OCCURRED 3 TIMES WITHIN A ONE HOUR PERIOD. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR EACH TIME. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION, ESPECIALLY IF IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE ON AN EXPRESS…

ENGINE SHUTOFF WITHOUT WARNING. SERVICE ENGINE SOON, SLIP, AND VDC OFF INDICATORS ALL IMMEDIATELY ILLUMINATED. PROBLEM OCCURRED 3 TIMES WITHIN A ONE HOUR PERIOD. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR EACH TIME. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION, ESPECIALLY IF IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE ON AN EXPRESSWAY. PROBLEM SEEMS SIMILAR TO RECALL 03V455000, BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED.
MY CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING. I ACTUALLY ENDED UP HITTING THE FREEWAY DIVIDER. I NEED THIS PROBLEM FIXED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH THE CAR TURNING OFF ON ME SINCE JANUARY. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE.
