1 Manual Transmission problem of the 2004 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 06/30/2009

There was no crash or resulting injuries--but having a clutch which sticks may eventually lead to a catastrophic incident. The dealership addressed the problem at 50,000 miles, but it has since returned. There are many G35-devoted websites and blogs where G35 owners complain about the same problem, but it does not appear they have followed up by filing a complaint. Many owners report the same sticky clutch problem at various speeds. For me, it's happening at any speed whether it is slow or fast. Infiniti claims this requires a new clutch--given that the owners have had their problems at various points of mileage, I am not convinced this is related to the clutch itself. Thanks very much.

2 Manual Transmission problem of the 2006 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 05/06/2009

2006 Infiniti G35 coupe & sedan other models may be affected, and from research there is. Hydraulic clutch fluid boils and contaminates similar to gm problem. This results in the clutch not coming up from the floor all the way. I've searched a lot on the internet seems to be a common problem and as of right now inifiniti claims no knowledge (allegedly). The clutch uses dot3 brake fluid which is being contaminated and turning brown resulting in clutch problem. The fluid is somehow being overheated. It seems replacing the fluid and using dot4 might render a fix.

3 Manual Transmission problem of the 2006 Infiniti G35

Failure Date: 07/21/2007

At ~7,900mi, I took my G35 coupe 6mt to Infiniti dealership when I started hearing a knocking noise and noticed that the "check engine" light would come up every few times a week. I was called in 4 more times after that (every 1,000mi) specifically for oil-level testing. The dealership received an approval to replace the engine, and at 14,500mi, after just about 6 months, I drove out with a new one (10102-ac7m9). I was told to go easy for the initial 12-15k. After driving about 1000mi now, I am running low on oil. I just checked it myself. I plan on taking it to the dealership soon to record it formally. But this is not the only problem I am having, the new engine seems to be a lot louder and a bit sluggish too. . Yes. . Definitely not the ride I got used too!!.
