VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
SUNROOF EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT OF MY 2007 INFINITI G35X. VEHICLE WAS MOVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH - NOTHING HIT THE VEHICLE TO CAUSE THE EXPLOSION. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES OR DEATH. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT, NOR WILL THEY PROVIDE DATA TO BACK UP THEIR STATEMENT THAT THIS IS A SAFE VEHICLE. NO INVESTIGATION OR VEHICLE INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED. SUNROOF WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED WITHOUT MY CONSENT. THEY WANT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY CONCRETE EXPLANATION OR DATA OF WHY THIS OCCURRED? *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2005 G35 COUPE W/ HEAVY OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS. MY CAR IS CONSUMING ROUGHLY 3 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 2,000 MILES AND INFINITI HAS DONE AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND HAD ONE OF THEIR TECHS LOOK AT MY CAR AND THEY DETERMINED THAT I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE BUT THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY A NEW ONE FOR ME. THE CORPORATE HQ TOLD ME THEY TOOK PICTURES AND A SAMPLE,THAT THEY HAVE YET TO SHOW ME AND ARE GOING TO VOID MY WARRANTY. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN IT TO ANOTHER SHOP AND THEY DON'T AGREE WITH INFINITI FINDINGS AND CORPORATE HAS STILL NOT SENT ME ANYTHING IN WRITING OR ANY PICTURES OF THEIR FINDINGS. ALL I GOT WAS A PHONE CALL SAYING THEY WERE GOING TO VOID MY WARRANTY AND I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE TECH AND HE DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE FINDINGS EITHER AND SAID THAT MY MODIFICATION TO MY CAR DOES NOT CAUSE THAT MUCH OIL CONSUMPTION AND I AM BEING SHUNNED AWAY BY THE DEALERSHIP. I AM ALSO APART OF A G35 FORUM AND THERE ARE MANY THREADS/POSTS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM AND THEY ARE GETTING THE SAME TREATMENT AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE ENGINES AND I NEED, ALONG WITH OTHER NEED TO RECEIVE A NEW ENGINE. INFINITI/NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT THEY WILL NOT COME CLEAN WITH THEIR FINDINGS AND ARE BLAMING THE CUSTOMER AND I HONESTLY DO NOT THINK IT IS FAIR. *TR

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
CLUTCH ON VEHICLE 2006 G35 COUPE WITH 19,300 MILES WENT BAD. READ ONLINE AND RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT UNDER 20,000 MILES IS VERY LOW FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING UNDER "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR" CONDITIONS. DEALERSHIP WAS NOT WILLING TO COVER 4YR - 60,000 MILE FACTORY WARRANTY, AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR SIMILAR TO BRAKE PADS!! CLUTCH?...BRAKE PADS? SAME?!?! THEY WOULD ONLY COVER IF PART WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. HAD TO ORDER REPLACEMENT PARTS THAT WERE TESTED TO BE MORE DURABLE THAN OEM VERSION OF CLUTCH. SEEMS TO HAPPEN OFTEN IN THIS MODEL CAR AND VERY EARLY ON IN THE VEHICLES LIFE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
2006 INFINITI G35 COUPE 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION 1- NOTICED THE OIL LEVELS WERE TOO LOW BEFORE 3000MILE. 2- ENGINE'S LOW OIL LEVELS WOULD CAUSE A NOISE IN THE ENGINE AND PERFORMANCE DECREASES, UNTIL ADDITIONAL OIL WAS ADDED. 3- I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALER EVERY 1000MILES TO MONITOR THE LOSS OF OIL. (WHICH WAS 1.5 TO 2.5 QUARTS EVERY 1000MILES.) AFTER 5 SUCH CHECK UPS, INFINITI APPROVED REPLACING MY ENGINE. ENGINE WAS REPLACED THIS WEEK. (10-18-07). *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, EQUIPMENT, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING THAT SEPARATES THE LOW BEAM FROM THE HIGH BEAM IS CURRENTLY CRACKED, HAVE SEEN 20 OTHER CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE 03-05 COUPE'S IT IS A QUALITY PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY DEALER WEATHER WITHIN OR OUT OF THE WARRANTY, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THIS MATTER THE DEALERSHIPS THAT I HAVE WENT TO AND I EVEN CALLED THE CORPORATE OF INFINITI ON THIS MATTER AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO FESS UP ON THEIR POOR QUALITY HEADLIGHTS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ALL OF OUR LIGHTS GET REPLACED WITH THE NEW PROJECTOR LIGHTS SINCE THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY A BETTER QUALITY THEN THE NON PROJECTOR LIGHTS THAT THE 03-05 COUPES CAME WITH. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY 2005 INFINITI G35 COUPE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING HIGH AMOUNTS OF ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. FINALLY, I ASKED THE DEALER TO PERFORM AN ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THROUGH THE COURSE OF 3 DEALERSHIP DOCUMENTED ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS, MY CAR HAS CONSUMED 4 QUARTS OF ENGINE OIL IN SOME 2,739 MILES. THE INFINITI DEALER HAS ADVISED ME THAT THIS RATE OF ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION IS ACCEPTABLE BY INFINITI STANDARDS. THAT I NOW COME TO LEARN THAT 2005 AND 2006 INFINITI G35'S AND NISSAN 350Z'S EQUIPPED WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS HAVE BEEN PLAGUED WITH THIS HIGH RATE OF ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION FOR SOME TIME. SHOULD THIS ISSUE NOT BE A RECALL ITEM FOR THE CONSUMER? *JB
