I was on my way to school doing 65 on the freeway when my car loses power and starts to stall in the freeway. It sounded like it was going to explode and couldn't accelerate. I got off the next exit and immediately pulled over in a gas station. Later on I brought it to the shop and told me my camshaft broke. There was a recall for 2003/2004 models for camshaft doing this but stopped for 2005 even though my car did the same thing as they did. Called Infiniti and they had nothing to say. Thankfully I wasn't hurt but I really wish Infiniti stepped up and fixed this problem for the 2005 models because it is not safe and can cause an accident. They did it for 03/04 models and if it does it in the 05's why not do a recall also.
Vehicle stalled while in motion creating a danger on the roadway. Restarted, but the engine hesitated before turning over. Check engine, vdc & slip warning lights were displayed and remained on. Dealer inspected vehicle and determined a faulty cam sensor and remedied to replace costing almost $500. There is currently a recall on the 2003 model which had the same problem. Recall #03v455000. Infiniti will not correct the problem at their expense without a recall. It should be assumed newer models will exhibit similar problems as the original recall. I hope subsequent models will be added to the original recall. Most owners are not aware of reporting these issues until serious injuries occur and there's litigation. Please investigate and pressure manufacturer to issue a recall.
The contact owns a 2005 Infiniti G35. At 32,000 during an oil change, the mechanic stated that there was no oil in the vehicle. At 35,000 miles during an oil change, the mechanic stated again that there was no oil in the vehicle. On January 8, 2008, the dealer explained that the manufacturer installed defective piston rings and his VIN is related to the failure. The manufacturer stated that they would not honor the repair since the vehicle had a rebuilt title. The failure mileage was 32000 and the current mileage was 37000.
I purchased a 2005 Infiniti G35 sedan with the "revup" motor, new with 6 miles on it. I don't have a dealer around me so on my first oil change I went to a local oil place and had the recommended oil and filter installed, that was @ 3000 miles. With around 4,800 miles on it I noticed a loud valve lashing sound coming from the engine when it was cold started, I shut it off and checked the oil, nothing on the stick. Put in one qt. , nothing 2qts. , nothing finally on the third qt. It registered a qt. Low. I was four qts. Low! I jumped onto the main 350z and G35 message boards and there it was many many people with the same problem. After reading about people on their third engine having the same problems I decided to bite the bullet and have the rebuild done by a local shop. When the motor was broke apart I was appalled every piston had sustained damage. All of the ring lands were fractured and a couple were completely broke off. The way that I see it I spent 7000 dollars to find out what the problem is and I think I know!!! ps I do have multiple pictures of the pistons if you need it. Kp.
