2005 Infiniti G35

MY INFINITY G35 2005 M/T HAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT OF OIL CONSUMPTION AND IS VERY COMMON TO THE ENGINE FOR THIS MODEL THE VQ35 IT ONLY HAS 63,000 MILES ON IT AND IT CONSUMES 1.5 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. THE CAR STARTS KNOCKING WITH NO OIL IN IT BY 2,000 AFTER AN OIL CHANGE. I CHANGE THE OIL AND ONLY 1 QUART COMES OUT WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO HAVE 5QUARTS! THIS IS ALSO CAUSING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO TURN ON WITH CODES THAT THE OXYGEN SENSORS AND THREE WAY CATALYST ARE BAD. IT SQUEALS WHEN TURNING IT ON AND KNOCKS WHILE DRIVING.

DRIVING CAR THEN IT STALLED. TRIED TO RESTART AND ALL LIGHTS CAME ON (ENGINE, VCF, SLIP-LIGHT). WOULDN'T START FOR 2 MINUTES. ONCE RESTARTED, ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. DROVE CAR TO GET DIAGNOSTIC TEST. DIAGNOSTIC SAYS CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. RESEARCHED AND FOUND SAME HAPPENINGS ON 2002 & 2003 MODELS; INFINITI HAS RECALL ON THOSE. CALLED ABOUT MY VIN AND INFINITI CLAIMS THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL.

I HAD BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. ABOUT 10-15 MILES AWAY FROM THE DEALER MY AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON. I CALLED THE DEALER AND SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE MECHANIC MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN TO RESET COMPUTER AND TO COME BACK AT NEXT SERVICE SINCE DEALER IS NOT CLOSE TO HOME OR WORK. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CSR BACK TO DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL BUT THE WIRING HARNESS AND AIRBAG SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR $1800. I REFUSED TO GET IT FIXED AND LEFT. CAR HAS 210000 MILES ON IT AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON.

MADE A RIGHT TURN ONTO A ROUND ABOUT STREET AND WHEN I TRIED TO TURN LEFT MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED STRAIGHT LIKE IF THE CAR WAS PARKED. THE WHEELS WOULDN'T TURN AND I HIT A PARKED TRUCK WHERE A PERSON WAS WORKING ON. HE DID GET INJURED BUT I AM NOT AWARE OF THE EXACT INJURIES HE SUSTAINED. I WAS DRIVING A 2005 G35 SEDAN WHICH I'VE HAD FOR AROUND 4 MONTHS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 03V455000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

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.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MILES AN HOUR WHEN UNEXPECTEDLY, THE CAR STARTS TO MAKE SOME NOISE THEN IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN THE MOTOR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, VDC OFF, AND SLIP LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, AND ONLY AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS (ABOUT THREE) DID THE CAR START. THERE IS NO WARNING. THE AUTO REPAIR FACILITY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND THE CODE THEY GOT WAS THE CAM SENSORS NEEDED REPLACING, WHICH COST ME $650. THEY SAID THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACING A LOT OF THESE. IT'S VERY PREVALENT. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE 2003 MODEL OF THE INFINITI G35 HAD ARECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.
