2004 INFINITI G35 Complaints

WHILE OPERATING MY VEHICLE IN A NORMAL SETTINGS MY ENGINE ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST STOPPED OPERATING WHILE DRIVING ON A 35 MPH ROAD WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I PULLED OVER THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AGAIN. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLE BEHIND ME OR IN FRONT OF ME THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO A BAD CAM SENSOR. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE DEALER BEING WORKED ON. *TR

I WAS FILLING GAS ON MY 2004 INFINITI G35 COUPE. AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK ($35 WORTH), I STARTED DRIVING OFF ONLY TO BE STOPPED BY ANOTHER DRIVER 100 FEET AWAY FROMTHE GAS STATION. THE DRIVER STOPPED ME TO LET ME KNOW THAT MY CAR WAS LEAKING GAS. AFTER LOOKING AT IT, GAS WAS JUST POURING FROM UNDERNEATH MY CAR, IN LESS THAN MINUTES MY GAS TANK WAS EMPTY AND THE CAR WILL NOT START. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I READ THAT THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE 2004 INIFNITI G35 (FUEL LEAKAGE PROBLEMS). HOWEVER, AFTER CALLING INIFINITY, THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, BUT INSTEAL INDICATED THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND WILL OFFER TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX MY CAR FOR A FEE. I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AS FUEL LINE LEAKAGE COULD CAUSE FIRES. PLEASE HELP BRING THIS MATTER TO LIGHT. THANKS.

DEALER INSTALLED A NEW AIR/FUEL SENSOR. TWENTY SEVEN MILES LATER THE SES LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE DEALESHIP HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THEIR SHOP. THEN INFORMED ME THAT A CODEP2135 WAS DETECTED. THE VEHILCE HAD JUST BEEN DIAOGNOSTICALLY TESTED AND REPAIRED. COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS A LARGE PICK-UP STOPPED ONLY ABOUT TWO FEET FROM MY STALLED VEHICLE. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND THE VEHICLE STARTED AND HAD NORMAL POWER, BUT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON.L *CN

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY CAR HAS BEEN INCORRECT FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS. IT WOULD SUDDENLY DIP DOWN TO EMPTY EVEN AFTER TRAVELING ONLY 20 MILES ON A FULL TANK OF GAS. THE GAGE WOULD BOUNCE UP AND DOWN AND HAS CAUSED ME TO PANIC MANY TIMES WHILE DIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE ONLY WAY TO TRULY KNOW HOW MUCH IS LEFT IN THE TANK IS BY RESETTING MY TRIP MONITOR AFTER EACH FUELING AND NOT TO EXCEED 220 MILES BEFORE MY NEXT REFILL. I HAVE A COUSIN WHO HAS THE SAME EXACT CAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DISPLAY AN ACCURATE READING AT ANY SPEED BEING TRAVELED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED WHICH THERE WERE NO RESOLUTIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I BOUGHT MY 2004 INFINITI G35 IN JAN 2009 IT HAD ABOUT 135000 MILES. ABOUT A MONTH LATER MY CD PLAYER SAID CHECK CD. THE RADIO AND CASSETTE PLAYER WORKS FINE. I TRIED NEW CDS AND CLEAN THE CD PLAYER BUT STILL DIDN'T WORK. I CALL INFINITI THEY SAID I MAY HAVE TO GET A REFURBISHED UNIT. I TOLD THEM THAT THE CD PLAYER SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 5 YEARS AND THAT I HAD A 96 PONTIAC UNIT THAT STILL WORK. A WEEK LATER I TRIED IT AND IT WAS WORKING FINE UNTIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO IT STOP WORKING AND IT STILL NOT WORKING. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF INFINITI COULD HELP ME. *TR

2004 INFINITI G35 SEDAN MODEL PROBLEM: SEAT TRACK THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT TRACK IS SEVERELY LOOSE; LITTLE BY LITTLE THE SEAT BEGAN TO BECOME LOOSER; TOO A POINT WERE IT ALMOST A ROCKING CHAIR. DECIDING THAT MY VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP. RESULT I WAS CHARGED $350 FOR THEM TO REVIEW THE VEHICLE AND COME TO SAME CONCLUSION THAT THE SEAT TRACK IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THAT IT WOULD REQUIRE NEW SEAT TRACK COSTING ME ABOUT $750.00 AND ALSO THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER BECAUSE OF BEING WEAR AND TEAR. I INDICATED THAT IT WAS AN SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE UNDER THE WARRANTY FOR DEFECT SEAT TRACK. THERE'S THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES THAT ARE OLDER THAN MINE AND NEVER HAVE SEAT TRACK PROBLEMS. WHY IS THERE SO MANY SEAT TRACK COMPLAINTS? THERE IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE THE SEAT TRACK WAS OBVIOUSLY BOLTED DOWN IMPROPERLY OR THE SEAT TRACK IS NOT BUILT UNDER STRONG STURDY QUALITY. *TR

THERE WAS NO CRASH OR RESULTING INJURIES--BUT HAVING A CLUTCH WHICH STICKS MAY EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A CATASTROPHIC INCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM AT 50,000 MILES, BUT IT HAS SINCE RETURNED. THERE ARE MANY G35-DEVOTED WEBSITES AND BLOGS WHERE G35 OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR THEY HAVE FOLLOWED UP BY FILING A COMPLAINT. MANY OWNERS REPORT THE SAME STICKY CLUTCH PROBLEM AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. FOR ME, IT'S HAPPENING AT ANY SPEED WHETHER IT IS SLOW OR FAST. INFINITI CLAIMS THIS REQUIRES A NEW CLUTCH--GIVEN THAT THE OWNERS HAVE HAD THEIR PROBLEMS AT VARIOUS POINTS OF MILEAGE, I AM NOT CONVINCED THIS IS RELATED TO THE CLUTCH ITSELF. THANKS VERY MUCH. *TR

2004 INFINITI G35 COUPE HEADLIGHT HOUSINGS SHOW CRACKS IN PLASTIC SEPARATING THE LOW/HIGH BEAM HOUSING FROM THE FOGLIGHT HOUSING BELOW ON BOTH SIDES. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AS REPORTED BY MANY OWNERS. INFINITI DEALERS DON'T WISH TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY BUT WILL DO SO WHEN PRESSURED WHILE DEALERS WITH CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS AFTER FACTORY 4 YEARS OR 60,000 MILE HAS EXPIRED REFUSE TO REPLACE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35 COUPE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE METAL BRACKET IN THE SEAT ADJUSTER SUDDENLY FAILED. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE METAL WAS FAULTY. THE DEALER DID NOT BELIEVE THE VEHICLE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 34,000. UPDATED 6/29/09 *CN THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THAT A MAJOR METAL SUPPORT BRACKET IN A SEAT SHOULD NEVER BREAK. UPDATED 06/30/09.*JB
