THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED MORE THAN ONCE ALREADY AND BASED ON MY RESEARCH I'VE COME TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS DUE TO THE COOLANT MIXING WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE RADIATOR.

WE RECEIVED THE CAR APRIL 18, 2020. WE WERE TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR BESIDES THE GAS GAUGE ON THE DASH. ON APRIL 20,2020, WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STOPPED. WE TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A BIT AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. THE ENGINE WILL REV BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T GO FORWARD NOR REVERSE. WE LET THE CAR REST FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND IT STARTED TO WORK. WE THEN TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY AND HE TOLD US THAT THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T NO GOOD AND THAT'S THERE WAS AN EXHAUST LEAK.

MY CAR HAS BEEN STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED. SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS COME UP (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SLIP LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT) AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY. UPON PLACING THE CAR IN PARK, I AM ABLE TO RE-START IT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I BELIEVE MY CAR IS PART OF RECALL NUMBER 03V455000 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. HOWEVER, MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, BUT I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL. THIS NEEDS TO BE RE-ADDRESSED. I HAVE CHILDREN, AND I AM WORRIED THAT THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I HAVE SEEN VARIOUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE WITH INFINITI.

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION

INFINITI G35 SEDAN 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION - UP REV - VQ35DE OIL CONSUMPTION IS BEYOND SAFE AND OPERATIONAL UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. INITIALLY CAR ENGINE SEIZED AFTER 3000 MILES OF DRIVING. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE OIL CONSUMPTION, AND THE CUSTOMER NEEDED TO ADD OIL. (THIS INCIDENT WAS NOT REPORTED BY INFINITI OF MARIN). ACCORDING TO INIFINIT TSB - ITB08-002D - THIS IS AN APPARENT PROBLEM, AND THERE IS A TEST AND SOLUTION FOR THIS FAULTY ENGINE.

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF ON 2 OCCASIONS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, IT LOST POWER, AND THEN RECOVERED, BUT TWICE, IT LITERALLY TURNED COMPLETELY OFF. THE "SLIP", "VDC OFF", AND "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHTS ALL APPEARED. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL INFINITI DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL FOR EARLIER-PRODUCED MODELS, AND SUBJECT TO A BULLETIN WHICH DESCRIBED EXACTLY WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR AND BANK 1 AND 2 OF THE CAM POSITION SENSORS HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $563.03, AND INFINITI SAYS THAT WITHOUT NHTSA TELLING THEM TO PAY FOR IT, THEY REFUSE. THIS CAR IS A 2003, HOWEVER, IT IS IN MINT CONDITION WITH LESS THAN 55,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT--ALWAYS DEALER MAINTAINED.

2004 INFINITI G35 LOST POWER WHEN DRIVING. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT AS WELL AS VDC LIGHTS ARE ON. IT IS HESITANT TO START AFTER THAT. HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST ONE TIME EACH DURING THE LAST THREE TIMES THE CAR WAS DRIVEN. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS THE IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN TURNING AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO COAST THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SAME ISSUE EXIST ON THE 2003 G35 IN WHICH THERE WAS A RECALL FOR, BUT NONE EXISTS FOR THE 2004 MODELS. CONTACTED INFINIT IN WHICH I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO ACTIVE CAMPAIGNS FOR MY MODEL, EXCEPT FOR THE SIDE AIRBAGS. WAS TOLD THAT THIS WOULD BE TREATED AS A REPAIR (SUBJECT TO VERY HIGH DEALER COSTS) AND NOT A RECALL. I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER POST ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE SAME MODEL AND THE SAME COMPLAINT THAT IT IS NOT ADDRESSED BY INFINITI. HOW HAS INFINITI VERIFIED THAT THIS DOES NOT EXIST IN OTHER MODEL, ESPECIALLY BEING SO CLOSE THE 2003 AND 2004?!? THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.
