general problems of the 2004 Infiniti G35

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.

Desconocido.

Vehicle was in motion on a city street when the engine seemed to acquire a life of its own and sped up, unresponsive to drivers application of brakes for several seconds. As driver brought the vehicle to a stop, a puff of white smoke emerged from under the hood.

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?.

Hello I purchased a 2004 infinit G35 sedan from star max in orlando FL east colonial drive ive only had it 3 days tops , first of all I left and the gas gauge isn't working or the speedometer , also my radio keeps going in and out my left window seems to go up and down when it wants too, my tire pressure lights on and my cars making a very funny roaring noise in the back. Also when I go to make turns ,my wheel just keeps turning on its own and hard to turn back straight it locks up . And I believe there may be a fuel pump issue as well ive spoken to several sales men there and complained saying I need to fix things the right way or I need a different car im paying $325 a month way out of my budget on a buy here pay here car that's not even worth it at this moment in time. Please someone help me I need to do something about this fast!.

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.

2004 Infiniti G35x. Consumer states problem with vehicle brakes the consumer also stated the hood hinge was corroded, there were evop issues, and a fuel valve leak which caused difficulty in not being able to re-fuel the vehicle to its capacity.

The brakes on this vehicle are horrible. I continue to have to have them checked but to no avail. The vehicle only has 48,000 miles.

The contact owns a 2004 Infiniti G35. The contact stated that he replaced the front discs brakes and rotors at 9,000 miles, 14,000 miles and again at 26,000 miles. The dealer and manufacturer were notified of the frequent need to replace the parts but offered no explanation or assistance. The failure mileage was 9,000 and the current mileage was 26,120.

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.

Ongoing repair issues with infinity qx56 regarding numerous issues, primarily brakes. Unsafe vehicle, want to get rid of it. Over 30 days of visits to infinity to try to reconcile all issues, some of which are still pending. After repairs to brakes, we were told that when manufacturer sent letter regarding need for brakes to be repaired, they knew that this would not in fact repair the problem.

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.
