WHILE DRIVING ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS MY VEHICLE JUST STOPPED. FIRST INCIDENT WHILE DRIVE ON HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF, I WAS UNABLE TO STEER OR CONTROL THE VEHICLE. WHILE STOPPED, I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE SECOND OCCASION , I WAS TRAVELING 30 MPH AND THE VEHICLE JUST STOPPED. I RESTARTED IT. ON THE MOST RECENT OCCASION, JANUARY 13, 2015, I WAS AT A RED LIGHT, THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR I EXPERIENCED AN ELECTRIC SHOCK THROUGH MY CAR KEY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI I35. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE TODAY AND THE CAR STARTED TO STALL. SEVERAL LIGHTS CAME ON LIKE SERVICE, ENGINE LIGHT, BREAK LIGHT. THEN TOTAL SHUTDOWN. I TOOK IT TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE SUSPECTS THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH IGNITION AND KEY TUMBLER. THIS SOUNDS A LOT LIKE THE GM PROBLEM WITH WEAK KEY TUMBLERS AND CAUSING SUDDEN STALL AND CRASH. PLEASE INVESTIGATE IF INFINITI I35 2004 HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

I HAD THE OIL CHANGED IN JUNE 2013. IN EARLY JULY MY DAUGHTER SAID THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A DAY OR TWO LATER THE CAR WAS MAKING LOUD NOISES FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WE CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS BONE DRY. WE CHALKED IT UP TO THE LAST OIL CHANGE AS NOT HAVING ENOUGH OIL PUT IN IT. WELL, 5 WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED ALONG WITH THE OIL LIGHT. I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT'S BONE DRY. ALL WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF AFTER PUTTING OIL IN. THE CAR IS BURNING OIL, A LOT OF OIL VERY QUICKLY WITH NO RESIDUE ON THE DRIVEWAY. I WENT ONLINE AND MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, MILEAGE SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. I HAVE YET TO BRING IT IN TO THE DEALER FOR FEAR THAT IT WILL NEED AN ENGINE. SOME LIGHT COLORED SMOKE COMES OUT OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF EXHAUST. THIS IS PROBABLY HAPPENING MORE THAN DOCUMENTED AS OWNERS MAY FEEL LIKE THERE'S NOT MUCH TO COMPLAIN ABOUT WITH A 9 YEAR OLD LUXURY CAR.
