Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2004 Infiniti G35

This car has excessive burning of oil and it is well known in the forums for G35 drivers. This is follow up on a complaint I just made. I had the car's oil changed with synthetic and always make sure it is changed every 3-5000 miles. Though the car burned off nearly 4. 25 qts of oil in under 4,000 miles causing damage to my engine, the oil light never came on the whole time even though there was no oil in the car. The mechanics I work with indicated that they had the same exact car and had blown 3 of the exact same engines between the two of them. This is absurd. Please NHTSA please help consumers that are having blown engines due to the lack of cooperation by Infiniti.

The car burned nearly 4. 2. Qts of oil in under 4000 miles. Massive number of users indicate same problem of insane amounts of oil consumption on various forums on the internet. This is most likely also a serious smog violation in CA and also is causing engines to blow up. Numerous mechanics will verify that they have seen the same problem with engines blowing at under 100,00 miles do to excess oil consumption. I have proof of my last oil change and number of miles. Also the amount of oil that came out of my car was less than a quarter of quart after only 4,000 miles of driving. My mechanic verified that there are no leaks. Please NHTSA! please investigate this issue further. 20,0000 dollar car is basically totaled now. All dealers and Nissan refuses to acknowledge the problem even though there is a high possibility they know of the problem and are hiding it. Also, the airbag light has been on for three years and no matter how you reset it, it will continually return to being on, indicating some sort of problem with the airbags.

Excessive oil burning. When spark plug's were removed for tune up replacement, found one coated with oil. Loss of approximately 1/2 quart of oil per 2 week period. Looked up forums found that many others have had a piston ring problem.

This is regarding the Infiniti vq engine and its oil consumption problem. I own a 2004 G35x I paid for and its sits with the biggest oil consumption problem due to nissians problem with the vq engines at the time of the make. Many people have this same problem. Very many people! I dont find this fair at all. I would like to talk to someone regarding this situation and come to a conclusion. Plz.

I purchased a 2004 G35 infinity 9/2008, the car was checked 2 weeks ago on June 12, 2010 at which time 2 quarts of oil was put in, level was fine on Saturday June 26,2010 coming home from pennsylvania car shut down had to be towed, mechanic states engine has gone up in vehicle, there was no oil in the car, I had no other problems with this vehicle and have been reading about the oil consumption problem, this car has always burned oil at an excessive rate. The car has 120k miles on it I am left with no car and still owe 8100 on it as a consumer I feel that infinity owes me an explanation as to why this vehicle used the amount of oil that it did and need to know if they are going to assist me in any way.

2004 vq35de engine of a G35 couple burns oil rapidly leading to engine failure. Many complaints from other owners have been recorded. Will have to get a new engine soon.

2004 infinity G35 coupe is burning excessive engine oil, I have to add a quart of oil every 1500--2000 miles.

Early after I purchased my car G35 6mt 2004 Infiniti coupe I noticed a significant oil consumption occurring between oil changes. I proceeded to file a complaint with the dealer at the next check up appointment but was told there were no issues. I continued to notice the excessive consumption of oil and once more asked the dealer to take a look at it. The second time around the dealer said that there was oil consumption occurring with the car at a rate of over 1/2qt. Per 1,000mi. However, inifiniti refuses to recognize this as excessive, and claims the amount of oil consumed is within normal standards. They claim that a rate of 1qt per 1000 mi. Is still acceptable. This would mean that if I follow the service manual's 3,750mi oil changes I would be left with under 1. 75qts of oil in the engine and in very high provability of explosion. These standards in my opinion seem backward, maybe 40 years ago those standards were correct. I've owned mustangs that have consumed less oil than a brand new luxury vehicle. Up to this point there has been nothing done with regard to this issue, since Infiniti will not recognize their manufacturing defect. There are plenty of other 2004 G35 that do not face this issue. I've continued to invest a considerable amount of money on making early oil changes, which Infiniti will not cover, in fear that if I don't keep the engine in check I may be in danger of an engine explosion or similar.

In a little over year after purchasing my G35 sedan I also noticed that it began consuming more oil than normal. I also had to add about 1/2 of oil after every 1500 miles of usage. Oil changes were done every 3000 miles, I also advised Infiniti of the problem but also was told that this oil consumption was normal. I advised the Infiniti rep that my isuzu nor my Nissan ever had this problem of consuming so much oil. A little after the vehicle began to smoke at start ups and began burning more oil. I immediately took vehicle back to Infiniti and advised them of the problem. Infiniti new without even having to examine the vehicle what the problem was and would not honor any warranty repairs, stating poor maintenance. I had to repair the vehicle at my cost. Infiniti knows that this is a defect on most of their vehicles but will not honor the engine warranty and make repairs. I will never purchase an Infiniti vehicle ever again. When ever I get a brochure in the mail from Infiniti I do not bother to open the envelope, I just throw it away in the trash. Infiniti has lost a customer for life.
