TWICE NOW, THE VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY DIED WHILE IN MOTION, ONCE WHILE BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, ANOTHER TIME WHILE DRIVING. TOOK TO A MECHANIC (NOT DEALER MECHANIC) WHO SAID IT WAS THE CAM SHAFT AND CRANK SENSORS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PART FOR THIS YEAR, 2003 FOR INFINITI G35. YET WHEN I CALLED, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS TO ME SEEMS HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS. MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT THE TIMES IT SPONTANEOUSLY DIED. I WAS VERY GLAD THAT SHE WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY OR SOMEWHERE ELSE BUSY WHEN IT HAPPENED! THIS VEHICLE HAS OTHERWISE BEEN COMPLETELY DEPENDABLE OVER THE PAST 14 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, TO HAVE IT SPONTANEOUSLY DIE WHILE DRIVING IS VERY FRIGHTENING FOR A DEPENDABLE VEHICLE!

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
1. TAKATA RECALL INFORMATION SITE SAYS MY CAR'S VIN NUMBER HAS 0 RECALL. MY CAR IS OVER 12 YEARS OLD, AND I LIVE IN FLORIDA. ANY CHANCE OF IT EXPLODING IN SUCH AN OLD CAR? 2. WHEN IGNITION IS STARTED, ON OCCASION, CAR HAS SCREECHING SOUND WHEN ENGINE IS COLD AND CAR IS NOT IN MOTION. DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. ALSO OCCASIONALLY WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED, IT 'MOANS'. IT ALSO SCREECHED RECENTLY WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO STOP WHEN CAR WAS ONLY GOING 2-3 MPH. 3. LIGHT INDICATOR SAYING EITHER OIL (OR WATER?) IS NEEDED IS CONSTANTLY ON, FOR YEARS NOW, YET MECHANIC SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG... LIGHT INDICATOR COMPUTER IS FAULTY. TRUE OR FALSE? *TR

AIR BAGS, ENGINE
THE CAR BURNED NEARLY 4.2. QTS OF OIL IN UNDER 4000 MILES. MASSIVE NUMBER OF USERS INDICATE SAME PROBLEM OF INSANE AMOUNTS OF OIL CONSUMPTION ON VARIOUS FORUMS ON THE INTERNET. THIS IS MOST LIKELY ALSO A SERIOUS SMOG VIOLATION IN CA AND ALSO IS CAUSING ENGINES TO BLOW UP. NUMEROUS MECHANICS WILL VERIFY THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ENGINES BLOWING AT UNDER 100,00 MILES DO TO EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE PROOF OF MY LAST OIL CHANGE AND NUMBER OF MILES. ALSO THE AMOUNT OF OIL THAT CAME OUT OF MY CAR WAS LESS THAN A QUARTER OF QUART AFTER ONLY 4,000 MILES OF DRIVING. MY MECHANIC VERIFIED THAT THERE ARE NO LEAKS. PLEASE NHTSA! PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE FURTHER. 20,0000 DOLLAR CAR IS BASICALLY TOTALED NOW. ALL DEALERS AND NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A HIGH POSSIBILITY THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND ARE HIDING IT. ALSO, THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR THREE YEARS AND NO MATTER HOW YOU RESET IT, IT WILL CONTINUALLY RETURN TO BEING ON, INDICATING SOME SORT OF PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS. *TR

ENGINE
THIS CAR HAS EXCESSIVE BURNING OF OIL AND IT IS WELL KNOWN IN THE FORUMS FOR G35 DRIVERS. THIS IS FOLLOW UP ON A COMPLAINT I JUST MADE. I HAD THE CAR'S OIL CHANGED WITH SYNTHETIC AND ALWAYS MAKE SURE IT IS CHANGED EVERY 3-5000 MILES. THOUGH THE CAR BURNED OFF NEARLY 4.25 QTS OF OIL IN UNDER 4,000 MILES CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY ENGINE, THE OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON THE WHOLE TIME EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE CAR. THE MECHANICS I WORK WITH INDICATED THAT THEY HAD THE SAME EXACT CAR AND HAD BLOWN 3 OF THE EXACT SAME ENGINES BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM. THIS IS ABSURD. PLEASE NHTSA PLEASE HELP CONSUMERS THAT ARE HAVING BLOWN ENGINES DUE TO THE LACK OF COOPERATION BY INFINITI. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION, ENGINE
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

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY SLIP LIGHT AND VCT LIGHT HAS CAME ON IN MY 2003 INFINITI G35 AND ALSO THE EBRAKE LIGHT AND NON OF THEM WILL GO OFFF. I RECENTLY HYDRO PLANED IN THE RAIN DUE NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN MY TRACTION CONTROL ON ABS DID NOTHING TO STOP MY CAR FROM LOOSING TRACTION THIS WOULD NEVER OF HAPPENED IF MY CAR DID NOT HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. FURTHER LOOKING INTO IT THEY HAVE HAD MADE A TSB TALKING ABOUT HOW THE ABS AND ANTI WHEEL LOCK MAY MALFUNCTION. I WAS IN A 5 CAR PILE UP AND ALMOST DIED. IF MY TRACTION CONTROL WAS ABLE TO BE TURNED ON WITCH IT WOULDN'T LET ME I WOULD NOT OF HYDRO PLANED MY WHOLE BACK END JUST SWUNG FORWARD OUT OF NOWHERE PEOPLE THOUGH SOMEONE IN MY CAR PULLED MY EBRAKE THE WAY THE BACK END JUST SWUNG FORWARD. BOTH THE SLIP LIGHT AND THE VCT LIGHT REMAINED ON ALONG WITH MY EBRAKE LIGHT. I DRIVE MY CAR LIKE A BABY AND TO BARLEY PUSH THE GAS SHOULD NOT RESULT IN MY BACK END SWINGING FORWARD RESULTING IN COMPLETELY WRECHING MY CAR ALONG WITH 4 OTHER DRIVERS. I FEEL INFINITI IS DEFINITELY RELIABLE AND SHOULD OF RECALLED THESE PARTS DUE TO PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER INSTEAD OF MAKING IT A TSB LIKE ITS NOT A BIG DEAL. I AM ALSO NOT THE ONLY ONE IV FOUND A FEW PEOPLE THAT CRASHED THERE CAR DUE TO RAINY WETHER AND THE TRACTION CONTROL NOT WANTING TO TURN ON. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DOING ABOUT 60 TO 65. IF I NEW INFINITI HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS I WOULD NOT OF PURCHASED ONE 77 BULLETINS AND AFTER READING ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS THE 2003 HAD AND ALL THE RECALLED PARTS I WOULD NOT OF PURCHASED IT AND PUT MY LIFE AT RISK. I FEEL INFINITI SHOULD BE RELIABLE IT'S COMMEN SENSE TO KNOW THAT FIRST HAND NOT FIXING THOSE PROBLEMS WOULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK I WILL BE EMAILING INFINITI TO. IT MAY NOT BE A RECALLED PART BUT IT' PUT ME AND EVERYONE ELSE ON THE FREEWAY AT RISK AND TOTALED MY CAR.
