ENGINE
The car engine cuts off / stalls while driving. This has happened multiple times. When driving on highway, the engine stops running, the car loses all power, and it is very difficult to restart the car. I had the car inspected and the local mechanic stated the crankshaft sensor/ camshaft censor is not working properly and he believed this was on recall, but Infiniti stated that my car is not covered. This is extremely dangerous - call stalls in the middle of the road with no power at all.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Fuel gauge in instrument cluster malfunctioned, inaccurately reading more than half full. This caused me to run out of gas on a public road. In addition to the risk of becoming a stationary road hazard, I lost power brakes and steering when the gas ran out which caused me to almost hit the car in front of me. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealship or service center, however I had the sending units replaced which a mechanic said would fix the issue and it didn't. The gauge is still inaccurate. I have not had the cluster inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representative. I have researched the issue myself and learned that the cluster is commonly defective, I also have an intermittent left turn signal. There was a check engine light (P0462) intermittently on, which was temporarily fixed by replacing the sending units but has since come back. I don't know when they first appeared.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Complete center console not working. Stuck on auto a/c with no way to defrost windshield and it was raining. No modes work, no cd, no radio, no heat, no defrost- front or rear. I have already had this happen before, replaced motherboard and it cost me 1200.00 and that was in 2011. Now it has happened again. This is very unsafe. I had my children with me and it started raining and we couldnt get the windshield or rear to defrost so I couldnt see. Why arent all 2003's covered under the recall?????

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I own 3 Infiniti G35's (2006, 2006, & 2007) and all 3 had this same exact problem! The fuel gauge reads a level higher than the vehicle actually has causing the cars check engine light to come on and the car runs out of gas and stalls with no notice. One time it almost caused a crash! I have replaced 2 Clusters and am now being told 3rd Infiniti cluster needs to be replaced. Obviously this is a major issue and very costly to repair amongst 06 & 07 Infiniti G35's. Please look into this!!

Brought car in for any state inspection and found the front suspension crossmember to 100% rusted thru. Car failed inspection. Found out that this is a common failure on this model of infiniti. In addition replacement part is on national back order. So on top of a poorly designed part they are unable to keep them in stock.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Dashboard deteriorating and appears "melting" when in hot environment. Have read of dangerous chemicals being produced when hot in a CAS Letter to NHTSA Regarding Nissan “Melting” Dashboards – October 6, 2021 (attached) as well as being a safety hazard from the film produced causing windshield glare and/or film restricting vision. Condition has existed since purchase (date below) and progressively getting worse. Only now found information about the cause but no remedy available outside of a new dash?

SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
The contact owns a 2008 Infiniti G35. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, there was an abnormal popping sound as the rear-end of the vehicle lowered to the pavement upon depression of the accelerator pedal. Upon inspection of the vehicle, the contact discovered that the rear subframe was detached from the vehicle. The contact initially towed the vehicle home and then to an independent mechanic. The mechanic discovered that the rubber bushings that held the subframe was not a strong reinforcement to hold the subframe in place. The contact notified several dealers about the failure and each informed him that they were unaware of such a failure. The dealers informed him that he had to purchase an entire new subframe which could contain the same defective rubber bushings. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 130,000.
