2006 Infiniti G35

THE HIGH MOUNT THIRD STOP LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY ON MY 2006 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND I AM CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF HER AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD, AS THIS IS A SAFETY LIGHT THAT SHOULD NOT FAIL. AFTER THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION I HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHER INFINITI CARS ON THE ROAD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED. *TR

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED BY ITSELF FROM 40 MPH TO 55 MPH WITHOUT ME TOUCHING ANY PEDAL. I HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKES HARD TO GET THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. ONCE I APPROACHED STOP SIGN THE CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP THE ACCELERATION EVEN WHEN I AM TRYING TO ACCELERATE, IT PICKS UP REALLY SLOWLY. I AM GOING TO TAKE IT TO DEALER TOMORROW AND IF IT IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT I AM GOING TO CONSUMER COURT TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. I WAS REALLY TERRIFIED DRIVING THE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI G35 COUPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS AN OVERCONSUMPTION OF OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,800.

I CONTACTED MICHELIN PER THE NHTSA AND I DID NOT RECEIVE A SATISFACTORY RESPONSE. MY CAR TIRES WERE EXAMINE BY THIRD PARTY PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE SERVICE STATION OWNER NOTICED ALL FOUR TIRES WERE DRY ROTTEN. HE TOLD ME I SHOULD RETURN THEM TO PLACE OF PURCHASE. MY VEHICLE SUFFERING TOTAL TIRE FAILURE. I HAVE OCCURRED ABOUT 700.00 IN PERSONAL COSTS AND I AM STILL ON THREE BAD TIRES. MICHELIN STATED THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE MY INSURANCE COMPANY FILE THE CLAIM. THAT IS NOT CORRECT. THEY WILL NOT FILE FOR MY PERSONAL COSTS INVOLVE AND WILL NOT SEEK PAYMENT FROM MICHELIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITY G35 EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN PILOT TIRES, SIZE 225/40/R19. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, SHE HEARD A LOUD POPPING AND A GLASS SHATTERING NOISE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VEER OFF INTO A WOODED AREA OFF OF THE INTERSTATE. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A STOP AND WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE TREAD ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE HAD STARTED TO SEPARATE AND THE SIDEWALL HAD DISINTEGRATED. THERE WAS DAMAGE DONE TO THE RIM, FRONT BUMPER AND THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN AND DOT NUMBER WERE UNAVAILABLE.

THE OIL BURNS LIKE CRAZY IT CAUSED MY CAR TO LOCK UP BEING THE IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING, HAVING TO DO OIL CHANGES ONCE A MONTH WHICH IS INSANITY. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM NOT ONLY IN THE INFINITI G35 BUT ALSO THE NISSAN 350Z MODELS. USUALLY A PROBLEM WITH MANUAL 6SPD TRANSMISSION MODELS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BEING THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM! *TR

OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. I LOSE AT LEAST 1 QT EVERY 1,000 MILES. DEALER DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND CLAIMS IT ONLY LOST 2 QTS IN 3,500 MILES. THEY ZIP TIED EVERYTHING SO I COULD NOT CHECK IT MYSELF. WHEN I CHECK THE OIL MYSELF IT ALWAYS LOSES AT LEAST 1 QT FOR EVERY 1,000 MILES DRIVEN. THE DEALER LIED BUT STILL FORWARDED MY CLAIM TO INFINITI CORPORATE. I NEVER HEARD FROM THEM SO I CALLED THEM MYSELF AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY CAR IS A MANUAL AND I READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. WHY IS THIS NOT FORCE RECALLED BY THE GOVERNMENT? ENGINE COULD SEIZE ON A HIGHWAY AND CAUSE A COLLISION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI G35X. THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL HOWEVER, NO AIR WOULD BLOW FROM THE VENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE RADIO HEAD UNIT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, PROVIDING NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000.
