Eight problems related to vehicle speed control have been reported for the 2005 Infiniti G35. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Wreckless driving.
I was driving on the highway at 55 miles an hour when unexpectedly, the car starts to make some noise then it completely shuts down the motor, the check engine light comes on, vdc off, and slip lights all came on. I tried to restart the car, and only after multiple attempts (about three) did the car start. There is no warning. The auto repair facility ran a diagnostic and the code they got was the cam sensors needed replacing, which cost me $650. They said they have been replacing a lot of these. It's very prevalent. They informed me that the 2003 model of the Infiniti G35 had arecall for the same problem.
Driving 70 mile in fwy my car engine just shut off completely I almost died out there because of cars behind me. I calmly changed steering wheel to right side of fwy with left over speed after 5 of vehicle behind me almost crashed me and each other. Turn off engine and started engine few time and it worked so I sent my car to shop and they said it's a 2 of sensor prob. And while he was moving my car, driver side seat switch button was on fire! fire! what is going on. I would have been killed out there if not for god. I see a lot of people complained on sensor prob with engine shut off, isn't this dangerous to drive???? risking all of people's lives????.
The vehicle that I have done so much research on is the 2003-2006 G35 which I own now has a issue with the clutch pedal sticking and getting stuck during driving situations which to me is a very horrible hazard for us if do to high miles on freeway and clutch sticks to the floor, which had occurred to me and made me panic and almost had causes a accident realizing that it had got stuck and I had to yank it out the bottom of the floor. I feel this should be a extreme issue to you guys and should be notified immediately to infinity dealerships so that this can be taken care of. I have looked all over and to many others who had the exact same defect as my vehicle now.
: the contact stated since purchase while traveling various speeds, the engine revs while the brake pedal is depressed, causing the vehicle to accelerate. To eliminate the revving and acceleration, the brake pedal must remain depressed and the engine turned off. The vehicle has been to the dealership multiple times, but the problem could not be duplicated. Once while parking the vehicle, the engine revved and hit concrete steps and another vehicle. During this incident, the vehicle accelerated so fast, the airbags deployed. There was a police report filed at the scene and the contact sustained minor injuries. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard where it awaits inspection by the insurance company. . Updated 09/06.
Since purchasing the car in December 2004, I have experienced three instances where, while coming to a stop at an intersection, the car seemed to accelerate on its own with my foot off the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal depressed; to stop the forward motion of the car, it was necessary to shift the transmission into neutral. After shifting back and forth between neutral and drive several times, with the brake heavily depressed, engine speed eventually resumed its normal level. In all three cases, the car was on a declining surface with the front pointing downwards. Now, whenever I come to a stop, I keep my hand on the shift lever ready to slam it forward into neutral, just in case. I have reported all three instances to Infiniti and had them inspect the car after the second incident. As expected, they found nothing and did nothing.
: the contact stated while at a stop, the vehicle accelerates. This occurs with the brake pedal depressed. The computer does not store any codes and the dealership is unable to determine the problem. Updated 2/13/2006 -.
On 2 occasions while stopping at a traffic light the vehicle accelerated by itself. Had someone been walking in front they would have been run over by the time I was able to stop the vehicle. Car was brought back to dealer, and after 3 days of diagnostics they could not find the problem. I only had the car less than 2 weeks when these 2 incidents happened, and I do not want to get behind the wheel of this car anymore . Told this to Infiniti, and they were checking with dealer ,and suppose to get back to me.
