DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 50 MY WAY TO WORK THE FOLLOWING DASH LIGHTS CAME ON VDC OFF, ABS, SLIP. AFTER PULLING OVER TO EXAMINE WHAT WAS WRONG I DISCOVERED I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS & THE 10 AMP BRAKE FUSE HAD BLOWN. I THEN GOT BACK IN MY CAR TO DRIVE TO A PARTS STORE & THE SHIFT LOCK WOULDN'T DISENGAGE. SO I MANUALLY ENGAGED THE SHIFT LOCK & DROVE TO THE PARTS STORE & REPLACED THE FUSE BUT THE DASH LIGHTS WERE STILL ON SO I BEGAN TO DRIVE HOME & THE BRAKES BECAME TIGHTER & WOULDN'T RELEASE & THEY EVENTUALLY WERE COMPLETELY LOCKED WITH ALL 4 SO HOT THEY WERE SMOKING SO I PARKED IT. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO DRIVE TO A MECHANIC & THE BRAKES HAD RELEASED BUT THE MORE I DROVE THEY STARTED ENGAGING ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT RELEASING & BECAME HOT AGAIN SO I PARKED IT AGAIN. BASICALLY AFTER IT SETS THE BRAKES RELEASE BUT AFTER DRIVING FOR A SHORT DISTANCE 2-5 MILES THEY BEGIN TO ENGAGE & NOT RELEASE CAUSING THEM TO OVERHEAT. I'VE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR SOLUTIONS & IT APPEARS NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM & SOME HAVE HAD A SHORT IN A BRAKE WIRE HARNESS & OTHERS HAVE REPLACED SPEED SENSORS OR ABS PUMPS BUT THEY CAN'T TELL WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM SINCE IT'S INTERMITTENT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY WITH A TRACTOR TRAILOR BEHIND ME & MY BRAKES BEGAN ENGAGING ON THEIR OWN & I WAS TERRIFIED OF BEING REAR ENDED & POSSIBLY KILLED. NOW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN OR HOW TO FIX IT.

I HAVE RECALL GRAPH FROM INFINITY NORTH AMERICA INC SHOWING THE NUMBER OF RECALLS WITHIN THE LAST 15 YEARS.

NHTSA complaint #11184367 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
INFINITY G35 SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING VCD LIGHT COMES ON SLIP LIGHT COMES ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THE G35 DIES, LOW POWER, OR SPUTTERS AT LOW OR SLOWING ENGINE SPEED E.G. WHEN SLOWING FOR TRAFFIC SIGNALS, OR TURNING (USUALLY ACROSS A LANE OF TRAFFIC!). I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN ON THE INTERSTATE IT WAS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A SHARP RELEASE OF THE ACCELERATOR, AS WHEN PUNCHING IT TO PASS THEN RELEASE, OR REACHING SPEED LIMIT, AND RELEASE, FROM ACCELERATION LANE. ONCE RIGHT AFTER ENTERING THE FREEWAY, I WAS SETTING MY CRUISE CONTROL WHEN IT SPUTTERED AND I WAS AFRAID IT WAS GOING TO DIE BUT IT FINALLY KICKED IN WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. I DON'T KNOW THE ECM CODE BUT IT INDICATED: CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I WONDER IF THERE ARE ANY OTHERS WITH THIS CODE OR PROBLEM? LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, MINE IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY OF THE RECALLS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER SHOP SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE COMPLAINT OF STRONG GAS SMELL PRIOR TO THIS CODE/ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THIS IS CONNECTED TO THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR OR NOT, BUT THE SMELL OF GAS INSIDE THE CABIN IS VERY STRONG WHILE DRIVING AT TIME. THE GAS FUMES CAN BE SMELLED OUT SIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN NOT IN MOTION EITHER AFTER JUST STARTING OR PARKING THE VEHICLE.

MY CAR SEAT MOVED ALL THE FORWARD WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN DENVER METRO'BENCH AND BACK SUPPORT BOTH PUSHED ME A FEW INCHES FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD TO MOVE MY LEG WITH MY HAND TO REACH THE BRAKE PEDAL. ONE WEEK LATER, MY CAR HORN BEGAN BEEPING AND WOULD NOT STOP WHILE DRIVING. MY VDC AND BRAKE LIGHTS NOW STAY ON CONSTANTLY BECAUSE THE ANTI SKID DOES NOT WORK'I ALMOST WRECKED ON A SNOWY HIGHWAY. THE FRONT TIRES WEAR EXPONENTIALLY FASTER THAN THE BACK TIRES. I HAD BLOWOUTS TWO SEPARATE TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE. THE FRONT WINDOWS ARE NOW GLUED SHUT BECAUSE THEY ROLL DOWN ON THEIR OWN. THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON NOW TOO. I REALIZE IT'S AN OLD CAR; I BOUGHT IT FOR $8,000 4 YEARS AGO WHEN IT HAD ~95,000 MILES. NOW IT HAS ~140,000. THE LEVEL OF QUICK DECLINE IS TRULY FRIGHTENING THOUGH. I DON'T DRIVE MY 2003 INFINIT G35 ANY MORE AND AM APPREHENSIVE TO SELL IT TO ANYONE ELSE. THE CAR I LOVED IS NOW LIKE DRIVING A HORROR MOVIE.

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?

MY SLIP LIGHT AND VCT LIGHT HAS CAME ON IN MY 2003 INFINITI G35 AND ALSO THE EBRAKE LIGHT AND NON OF THEM WILL GO OFFF. I RECENTLY HYDRO PLANED IN THE RAIN DUE NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN MY TRACTION CONTROL ON ABS DID NOTHING TO STOP MY CAR FROM LOOSING TRACTION THIS WOULD NEVER OF HAPPENED IF MY CAR DID NOT HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. FURTHER LOOKING INTO IT THEY HAVE HAD MADE A TSB TALKING ABOUT HOW THE ABS AND ANTI WHEEL LOCK MAY MALFUNCTION. I WAS IN A 5 CAR PILE UP AND ALMOST DIED. IF MY TRACTION CONTROL WAS ABLE TO BE TURNED ON WITCH IT WOULDN'T LET ME I WOULD NOT OF HYDRO PLANED MY WHOLE BACK END JUST SWUNG FORWARD OUT OF NOWHERE PEOPLE THOUGH SOMEONE IN MY CAR PULLED MY EBRAKE THE WAY THE BACK END JUST SWUNG FORWARD. BOTH THE SLIP LIGHT AND THE VCT LIGHT REMAINED ON ALONG WITH MY EBRAKE LIGHT. I DRIVE MY CAR LIKE A BABY AND TO BARLEY PUSH THE GAS SHOULD NOT RESULT IN MY BACK END SWINGING FORWARD RESULTING IN COMPLETELY WRECHING MY CAR ALONG WITH 4 OTHER DRIVERS. I FEEL INFINITI IS DEFINITELY RELIABLE AND SHOULD OF RECALLED THESE PARTS DUE TO PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER INSTEAD OF MAKING IT A TSB LIKE ITS NOT A BIG DEAL. I AM ALSO NOT THE ONLY ONE IV FOUND A FEW PEOPLE THAT CRASHED THERE CAR DUE TO RAINY WETHER AND THE TRACTION CONTROL NOT WANTING TO TURN ON. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DOING ABOUT 60 TO 65. IF I NEW INFINITI HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS I WOULD NOT OF PURCHASED ONE 77 BULLETINS AND AFTER READING ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS THE 2003 HAD AND ALL THE RECALLED PARTS I WOULD NOT OF PURCHASED IT AND PUT MY LIFE AT RISK. I FEEL INFINITI SHOULD BE RELIABLE IT'S COMMEN SENSE TO KNOW THAT FIRST HAND NOT FIXING THOSE PROBLEMS WOULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURIES AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK I WILL BE EMAILING INFINITI TO. IT MAY NOT BE A RECALLED PART BUT IT' PUT ME AND EVERYONE ELSE ON THE FREEWAY AT RISK AND TOTALED MY CAR. BELLOW IS SOMEONE WHO ALSO HAD THE ISSUE

BOTH MY DRIVER SIDE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK DUE TO FAULTY ACTUATORS. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT HAPPENS TO MANY NISSAN OWNERS. THIS IS A CONCERN FOR SAFETY AS I CANNOT LOCK MY CAR OR UNLOCK WITH OUT GOING IN AND OUT MY PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR.
NHTSA complaint #10480011 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT ABOUT 65MPH WHEN IT LOST POWER AND THE VDC, SLIP AND CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHTS ALL CAME ON THE CAR REGAIN POWER BUT AT LESS AMOUNT AND WAS HARD TO START. WAS TAKEN TO DEALER. AND WAS FOUND TO NEED A CAM POS SENSOR. IF THIS LOSS OF POWER HAPPEN WHEN PASSING ON A 2 LANE ROAD I MAY NOT BE WRITING THIS . THE 2003 MODELS HAD A RECALL I THINK THIS MODEL NEEDS ONE TO. THE COST WAS OVER 350.00.

THE INFINITI G35 2004 MODEL WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING THE CAR. I FOUND OUT THAT THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR WAS THE ISSUE AND THE 2003 MODEL HAD A RECALL HOWEVER THE 2004 DOES NOT. THIS ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING SINCE THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHILE ONE IS DRIVING. THIS IS A DANGER TO OTHER INDIVIDUALS ON THE ROAD AS WELL AS THE INDIVIDUALS DRIVING THE CAR.

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.
