Car has unintended acceleration that can only be stopped by turning off ignition key. This happens without warning. When stopped and foot on brake car accelerates to top rpm then brake goes to floor resulting in no control of car.

1. TAKATA RECALL INFORMATION SITE SAYS MY CAR'S VIN NUMBER HAS 0 RECALL. MY CAR IS OVER 12 YEARS OLD, AND I LIVE IN FLORIDA. ANY CHANCE OF IT EXPLODING IN SUCH AN OLD CAR? 2. WHEN IGNITION IS STARTED, ON OCCASION, CAR HAS SCREECHING SOUND WHEN ENGINE IS COLD AND CAR IS NOT IN MOTION. DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. ALSO OCCASIONALLY WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED, IT 'MOANS'. IT ALSO SCREECHED RECENTLY WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO STOP WHEN CAR WAS ONLY GOING 2-3 MPH. 3. LIGHT INDICATOR SAYING EITHER OIL (OR WATER?) IS NEEDED IS CONSTANTLY ON, FOR YEARS NOW, YET MECHANIC SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG... LIGHT INDICATOR COMPUTER IS FAULTY. TRUE OR FALSE?

I DROVE TO BALTIMORE FROM DC AND BACK WITH NO ISSUES, THEN TURNED TO GO INTO THE ALLEYWAY BEHIND MY HOME. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND WOULD NOT TURN AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON, INCLUDING THE BRAKE LIGHT. MY BRAKE PAD FROZE MIDWAY DOWN, STOPPING THE CAR, BUT NOT BUDGING, EVEN WHEN I TAPPED THE GAS PEDAL. I PUT ON AND OFF THE PARKING BRAKE, TO NO AVAIL. I TRIED TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AROUND, BUT COULD NOT. THEN I TRIED TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT, BUT IT TOOK ME THREE TRIES. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, THE BRAKE PAD STARTED FUNCTIONING NORMALLY AGAIN AND THE CAR HAS BEEN NORMAL EVER SINCE. ADDITIONALLY, NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE.

I'M THE SECOND OWNER THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, AND ALTHOUGH I DID NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM SOONER, THE 3RD LIGHT ON MY 2004 G35 DOES NOT WORK (MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE THE SPOILER). WHAT I DID WAS PURCHASE A USED 3RD LIGHT FROM A SALVAGE YARD....AND IT DID WORK (BRIEFLY), NOW IT'S NOT WORKING.....SO I'M BACK TO SQUARE ONE. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS UNUSUAL, SO I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND MUCH TO SURPRISE CAME UP WITH MANY HITS OF OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE.......SINCE READING THE ISSUE OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THE 3RD LIGHT NOT FUNCTIONING I HAVE NOTICED THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLES 3RD LIGHT ISSUE ON OTHER G35 ON THE ROAD, MORE THAN LIKELY THE OWNERS HAVE NOT NOTICED THE LIGHT NOT OPERATING.........THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE 3RD LIGHT IS TO BE SEEN BY OTHERS DRIVING BEHIND YOU.......IT'S AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN, I HOPE THE NHTSA AND INFINITI TAKES STEPS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.

I NOTICED MY 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER WORKING. I HAVE NOTICED OTHER INFINITI G35 COUPES WITH NON- FUNCTIONING 3RD BRAKE LIGHTS. I'VE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT I BELIEVE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY A RE-CALL. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE PART AND LABOR CHARGE TO REPAIR. PLEASE INDUCE INFINITI TO REPLACE THESE LIGHTS AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. THANK YOU.

THIS CAR HAS A BAD CASE OF AUTOMATIC ACCELERATION. SINCE IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE PAST 9 YEARS, I'VE GOTTEN FAMILIAR WITH THE SYMPTONS. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WAYS THE CAR WILL SIMPLY ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN AND ALL OF THEM OCCUR WHEN BRAKING: 1) WHILE SITTING AT A COMPLETE STOP WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE AND FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY JUST REV UP TO 4 OR 5 THOUSAND RPM. 2) SAME AS ABOVE BUT ACCELERATION CAN BE CAUSED BY PRESSING HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. 3) EXITING FREEWAY AND BRAKING, THE ENGINE WILL REMAIN AT THE SAME RPM AND/OR SPEED UP. 4) (THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST DANGEROUS) WHEN BRAKING EXTRA HARD, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT DOWN AND THE ENGINE GOES TO FULL THROTTLE. THIS ONE HAS NEARLY GOTTEN ME A COUPLE OF TIMES. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE THROTTLE, THROTTLE BODY, ETC. NOTHING HAS RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. IT IS INTERMITTENT AND INCIDENTS MAY BE MONTHS APART. UNTIL RECENTLY, THE DEALER HAS DENIED THAT ANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM IN THE USA. OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT SINCE 2003 ON VARIOUS INTERNET SITES WHILE THE MANUFACTURER DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM AND HAS ALLOWED IT TO PERSIST FOR 10 YEARS. ONLY RECENTLY HAS THE DEALER ADMITTED OTHER PROBLEMS AND STATED THEY WERE AFRAID OF WHAT HAPPENED TO TOYOTA. BRIEFLY LOOKING AT ENTRIES ON THE NHTSA SITE, THERE HAVE BEEN ABOUT HALF A DOZEN COMPLAINTS A YEAR. NONE REPORTED A FATALITY BUT THEN THE DEAD ARE UNLIKELY TO FILE A COMPLAINT. IF A TENTH OF A PERCENT OF THE OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM FILED COMPLAINTS, THAT WOULD BE 6,000 VEHICLES PER YEAR ARE BEING PRODUCED WITH THIS FATAL FLAW. IN SUMMARY, WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A POTENTIALLY LETHAL VEHICLE? SELL IT TO SOME UNSUSPECTING PERSON AND ENDANGER THEIR LIFE OR KEEP IT AND WONDER WHEN IT WILL KILL ME? IF THE LATTER HAPPENS, WE'LL ALL KNOW WHY.

THE THIRD LED BRAKE LIGHT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. GOT PULLED OVER ON AUGUST 28TH BECAUSE THE OFFICER SAID MY THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WASN'T WORKING. I GOT THE LIGHT TESTED AND THE CAR SHOP SAID THEY WOULD TEST THE LIGHT TO SEE IF IT WAS THE LIGHT ITSELF OR THERE IS A SHORT DUE TO WIRING. THE CAR SHOP SAID THE LIGHT WORKED SO THERE MUST BE A WIRING MALFUNCTION SOME WHERE IN THE CAR THAT MAKES THE LIGHT WORK PROPERLY.

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.

THE FOOT BRAKE DEPRESSES LOWER THAN THE ACCELERATOR THUS CAUSING THE MOTOR TO ACCELERATE WHEN APPLYING THE BREAK. WHEN BREAKING IN AN EMERGENCY, THE SIDE OF MY SHOE CAUGHT THE ACCELERATOR CAUSING THE MOTOR TO REV UP AND PUSHED OUR CAR INTO THE VEHICLE INFRONT OF US. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE GOING SLOW ENOUGH BY THIS TIME AND ONLY THE FRONT BUMPER WAS DAMAGED. NO INJURIES INCURRED.

WE HAVE HAD ON GOING BRAKE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY. GRINDING NOISE IN REAR BRAKES. WE HAD TO REPLACE AFTER JUST ONE MONTH. SINCE THEN WE HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS TWICE AND REAR BRAKES ONE OTHER TIME.

FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS NEEDED REPLACEMENT AT 24,744 MILES AND AGAIN AT 44,875. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME REPLACEMENT WAS NEEDED, THEY QUOTED ME ALMOST $600 TO DO THE JOB. THEY DID NOT INFORM ME THAT IN LATE 2003 NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGED A BRAKE DEFECT AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO COVER REPLACEMENT OF BRAKES AND ROTORS UNDER 36,00 MILES. I FOUND OUT RECENTLY THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THE FIRST REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER REFUSES TO REIMBURSE MY EXPENSES SINCE I HAD THE WORK DONE AT MY LOCAL GAREGE FOR A LOWER PRICE THAN THEY QUOTED ME.

I LEASED A 2004 INFINITI G-35 COUPE AND AFTER APPROXIMATELY 36,000 MILES, THE CAR STARTED SMELLING HOT AND WOULD VIOLENTLY VIBRATE WHEN DRIVING. THE CLOSEST INFINITI DEALER IS APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES AWAY SO I TOOK THE CAR TO GOODYEAR AND THEY INSTALLED NEW BRAKE PADS ON THE FRONT TIRES. LESS THAN 30 DAYS LATER, THE PROBLEMS STILL PERSISTED AND I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO GOODYEAR AND THEY INSTALLED NEW ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS ON THE REAR WHEELS. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEMS AND 30 DAYS LATER, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO GOODYEAR AND BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKE PADS WERE TOTALLY WORN DOWN. THEY SAID I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM, POSSIBLY THE CALIPERS, AND SUGGESTED I TAKE THE CAR TO THE INFINITI DEALER. I TOOK THE CAR TO CREST INFINITI IN PLANO, TEXAS AND THEY SAID THE BRAKE FLUID HAD BEEN CONTAMINATED. THEY SENT A SAMPLE TO A TESTING LAB BUT NO TEST WAS DONE BECAUSE THE ALLEGED CONTAMINANT WAS SO SMALL IT COULD NOT BE MEASURED. CREST INFINITY REFUSED TO REPAIR THE BRAKES UNDER WARRANTY. I IMMEDIATELY TOO THE CAR TO GRUBBS INFINITI IN EULESS, TEXAS AND THEY ALSO DECIDED TO TEST THE BRAKE FLUID. AFTER THREE WEEKS THE TEST REVEALED NO CONTAMINATE IN THE BRAKE FLUID BUT GRUBBS SAID THAT SINCE THE BRAKES HAD BEEN WORKED ON BY GOODYEAR, THE WARRANTY WAS VOIDED. I HAVE CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT BRAKES ON THE INFINITI G-35. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT'S HAVE BEEN FILED IN BOTH CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA. I FOUND MANY POSTINGS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS THAT I AM EXPERIENCING. INFINITI REFUSES TO ADMIT THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS AND REFUSES TO REPAIR VEHICLES, INCLUDING MINE, UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BRAKE PADS. THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM THAT CAUSES THE BRAKES TO BE APPLIED WHEN DRIVING THE CAR RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE HEAT AND EXCESSIVE WEAR. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND INFINITI IS DUCKING THE ISSUE AND REFUSING TO ISSUE A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS SERIOUS DEFECT UNDER WARRANTY.

MY 2004 G35X SEDAN HAS 28K MILES ON IT AND I'M ON MY 3RD SET OF BRAKES. (90% OF MY DRIVING IS HIGHWAY WITH LITTLE BRAKING). THE DEALER ADVISED ME INFINITY KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 36K MILES AND THAT'S ALL THEY WOULD DO. AFTER JUST 100 MILES OF DRIVING WITH NEW PADS THE WHEELS ARE BLACKENED WITH BRAKE DUST. MY LAST SET OF FRONT PADS LASTED ONLY 10K MILES.
