VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2007 INFINITI G35X PREMIUM 4DR ACCIDENT ON MARCH 13, 2011 IN PARKING LOT OF A CHURCH; AFTER I PARKED THE CAR, BEFORE CHANGING THE CAR TO PARK AND TAKEOFF THE SEAT BELT TO GO TO CHURCH. THE CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL; ACCELERATED, AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR. I TRIED THE BRAKES ' AND IT JUST KEPT SPEEDING UP FORWARD, TOWARDS THE CHURCH BUILDING WHICH MAY HAVE KILLED THE ATTENDEES OF THE CHURCH SERVICE. I FINALLY TRIED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT WHICH WORKED, HIT A TREE, A CAR AND VAN THAT WERE PARKING IN FRONT OF CHURCH AND FINALLY STOPPED THE INFINITI. AS OF NOW INSURANCE & INFINITI DEALER CHECKED AND REPORTED THE CAR BODY DAMAGES, DID NOT CHECK ANY SOFTWARE SPEED CONTROL MALFUNCTION. THEY WANT ME TO APPROVE THE FIXES. I WANT A TRUE INVESTIGATION ABOUT THE SPEED CONTROL ISSUES OF THIS MODEL OF INFINITI G35X 2007. KINDLY UPDATE ME WITH YOUR RECOMMENDATION --------- I FOUND SIMILAR CASES ON THE NET...

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STEERING
ON MARCH 11 MY 2004 INFINITY G35X EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE ALARMING SYSTEM FAILURE. THE POWER STEERING FAILED, THE BRAKES FAILED, IN FACT EVERY COMPONENT NOT RUNNING ON THE BATTERY FAILED. THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS LOOKED LIKE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS. I WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A SIDE STREET, AND NOT A HIGHWAY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED A P-0340 CODE AND REPLACED BANK 1, CAM SENSOR. THIS VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 41,000 MILES AND IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I NOTICED ON-LINE THAT THIS PART WAS PART OF A VOLUNTARY RECALL IN MODEL YEARS 2003 AND 2005, BUT NOT MY YEAR, BUT ALSO THAT THE FAILURES REPORTED WERE AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME MILEAGE AS MY VEHICLE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT HAD I BEEN ON A STREET WITH MORE TRAFFIC AS I HAD ONLY BRUTE FORCE CONTROL OVER THE BRAKES AND STEERING. MY IMPRESSION AT THE DEALER WAS THAT THEY WERE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE DISPLAY OF WARNINGS ON MY DASH PANEL. THE DIAGNOSIS TOOK VERY LITTLE TIME, THE REPAIR WAS COSTLY, THE EXPERIENCE WAS EXTREMELY MEMORABLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE RADIO ON MY 2003 INFINITI G35 COUPE STARTED GOING OUT SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT IT (USED). SOME DAY IT WOULD GO OUT SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. OTHER DAYS IT WOULD NOT GO OUT AT ALL. NOW THE LED DISPLAY FOR THE RADIO AND THE ABILITY TO CONTROL A/C, HEAT, DEFOG, REAR DEFROST, AND STEREO ON THE CENTER DASH IS INTERMITTENTLY GOING OUT. I STILL MAINTAIN THE FUNCTIONALITY IN THE STEERING WHEEL FOR THE STEREO CONTROL, HOWEVER, I SIMPLY CAN'T SEE WHAT STATION OR TRACK I AM ON. THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY DURING THE WINTER WHEN DEFROST/DEFOG ARE CRUCIAL. NISSAN HAS ISSUED A RECALL, BUT ONLY FOR THE SEDANS, NOT FOR THE COUPES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN DO THIS!!! AS A COMPANY I WOULD NOT WANT THE DEATH OF SOMEONE ON MY CONSCIENCE DUE TO MY LACK OF INTEGRITY TO STAND BEHIND MY PRODUCT. I AM BEGGING FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE ON THIS BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS THE DEALER IS CHARGING $500.00 FOR A TEMPORARY FIX. THEY ARE OFFERING NO SUPPORT. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I RECENTLY PURCHASED A SET OF NEW TIRES FROM A LOCAL TIRE DEALER, THE MECHANIC WARNED ME THAT NISSAN / INFINITI HAVE A HISTORY OF DEFECTIVE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS AND INDICATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR WAS INDEED DEFECTIVE. I LOOKED ON-LINE AND SAW THAT VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED. ALSO, SINCE THIS ITEM IS KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE WARRANTY REQUIRES THE PART TO BE SUBMITTED BEFORE ANY ACTION IS TAKEN OR ANY REBATE IS ISSUED. I COULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY SINCE THE PART WAS DISCARDED BY THE MECHANIC UPON DETERMINING THAT IT WAS DEFECTIVE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I WAS TOLD WE CAN MAKE A SHOUT OUT FOR A COMPLAINT TO NISSAN/INFINITI FOR VQ35DE REV-UP ENGINES CONSUMING A LOT OF OIL AT 1K MILES. I OWN A 2005 G35 COUPE 6 SPEED MANUAL I HAVE HAD 1 ENGINE REPLACEMENT FOR OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS AND THIS BEING MY NEW ENGINE AT 60K I AM BEGINNING TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. I HAVE TO ADD 2.5 QUARTS OF OIL AT 1K MILES, AND COULD DAMAGE MY ENGINE PERMANENTLY INFINITI HAS DENIED ME EXTENDED WARRANTY CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.. WEAK PISTON RINGS AND OR PISTONS ARE THE CULPRIT FOR OUR THOUSANDS OF G35 6 SPEED MANUAL REV-UP MOTORS DRIVERS.. TO NEED UPTO 3 ENGINE REPLACEMENTS OR DENIED EXTENDED WARRANTIES FROM NISSAN/INFINITI I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE A RE-CAL FOR THESE VQ35DE ENGINES FOR THESE ISSUES YEARS 2005-2007. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
2006 G35X SEDAN - WHEN OPENING THE HOOD A LOUD CREAKING SOUND IS MADE AND THE FRONT FENDERS WERE SCRAPED BY THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER IN ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT AND WORKED JUST FINE WHEN PREVIOUSLY OPENED. CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND APPARENTLY ITS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE HOOD HINGES TO BECOME BENT OR FAIL TO BE LUBRICATED CAUSING THE HOOD TO SHIFT AND IN SOME CASES EVEN BEND THE HOOD/FRONT FENDERS OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO MENTION OF NEEDING TO LUBRICATE THIS PART IN THE MANUAL FOR STANDARD MAINTENANCE. AS IT ONLY JUST HAPPENED I HAVE YET TO FIND OUT IF THE LOCAL INFINITI DEALER WILL BE COVERING THE DAMAGES UNDER THE CERTIFIED PREOWNED WARRANTY. *TR

AIR BAGS
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED RECALL 10V175000 (AIR BAGS) BUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,932. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER IN AUGUST 2010 FOR A RECALL, RELATING TO THE AIR BAG. IN DECEMBER 2010, THE AIR BAG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON. WHEN THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER, HE WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE A $125 DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND THE REPAIRS WOULD PROBABLY COST BETWEEN $2000 AND $5000. UPDATED 04/29/11

SEATS
GRADUALLY THE ROCKING IN THE DRIVER SEAT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. NOW WHEN I ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE MY DRIVER SEAT ROCKS FORWARD OR ROCKS BACKWARDS. I HAVE CONTACTED INFINITI ABOUT THE TSB THEY RELEASED: ITB02080, BUT THEY REFERRED ME TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHO SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE ME 100+ DOLLARS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I CAN SEE THE BROKEN BRACKET AND HAVE NO NEED OF A DIAGNOSIS. *TR

THIS IS THE THING THAT IS KEEPING ME FROM EVER BUYING ANOTHER INFINITI - NOT SO MUCH THE PROBLEM, THINGS HAPPEN- BUT IT THE WAY INFINITI IS HANDLING IT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
INFINITI G35 2005. AFTER COMING TO A FULL STOP FOR AT LEAST A MINUTE, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND IN ANY WAY; NO ENGINE NOISE, NO RPM CHANGE, NO MOVEMENT AT ALL. THEN I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR ONE-HALF WAY DOWN AND THE CAR MADE A SMALL ENGINE SOUND, THE RPMS WENT UP TO AROUND 1500 AND THE CAR MOVED A LITTLE. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND PRESSED IT AGAIN AND IT DID NOT RESPOND, AGAIN. I PRESSED ONE-HALF WAY DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT MADE A SMALL ENGINE NOISE, RPMS WENT UP A LITTLE, AND THE CAR MOVED A LITTLE. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR AS SOON AS IT MOVED A LITTLE BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID THAT THE CAR MIGHT SUDDENLY RESPOND NORMALLY TO THE ONE-HALF PRESSED ACCELERATOR AND ACCELERATE RAPIDLY AND CAUSE ME TO CRASH. THE "VVC OFF" LIGHT, THE "SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT, AND THE "SLIP" LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. THE BUTTON THAT IS SUPPOSED TO TURN OFF THE "VVC OFF" LIGHT, DID NOT TURN OFF THE LIGHT. I WAS DRIVING IN NORMAL DRY CONDITIONS. I PARKED MY CAR AND TURNED IT OFF. SEVERAL HOURS LATER, I RESTARTED MY CAR AND THE "SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON, BUT THE OTHER LIGHTS WERE OFF. THE ACCELERATOR RESPONDED NORMALLY. I WILL TAKE MY CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER TOMORROW. THERE ARE OTHER INTERNET POSTS DESCRIBING THIS IDENTICAL OCCURRENCE WITH OTHER INFINITI G35S, AND SOME OWNERS HAVE DESCRIBED A COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE ACCELERATOR WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING AT 40MPH, THE OTHER OWNERS WERE TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THEIR CARS. *TR
