Five problems related to power train have been reported for the 2008 Infiniti G35. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
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.
Car was jerking while driving. I went to the dealer, was told that a radiator leaked to the transmission, and ruined it. Dealer flashed transmission, but later I had "check engine" warning. I went back, dealer told me that this is because of a bad transmission. This is not safe to drive a car in this condition. I still have a power train warranty, but Nissan refuses to repair transmission, because, they say, transmission problem was a secondary one, and the primary was a radiator. Nissan twice refused to repair under warranty.
