Power Train Problems of Infiniti G35 - part 1

I was driving my car and heard a loud sound and then my airbags went off. I lost control on my steering and was able to coast the car to shoulder. The airbags deployed even though there was no collision with another car. Under further inspecting it looks as if all the bolts came loose on the drive trane. I have no idea why the airbags went off. I did sustain an minor injury to my hand. Police were called, fire trucks checked for possible fire hazards. I looked for recalls and or air bag malfuctions for this year make and model but did not find any. Had I not been in the far right lane I could have been in a serious accident. The airbags deploying scared me. Both the driver and passenger side airbags went off. I was the only one in the vehicle.

We received the car April 18, 2020. We were told that nothing was wrong with the car besides the gas gauge on the dash. On April 20,2020, we were on the highway and the car stopped. We turned the car off for a bit and the problem still persisted. The engine will rev but the car wouldn't go forward nor reverse. We let the car rest for about 20 minutes and it started to work. We then took the car to the mechanic the next day and he told us that the transmission wasn't no good and that's there was an exhaust leak.

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.

The transmission continuously slipping and putting code u1000.

Service engine soon, vdc off, and slip lights all come on from start up of vehicle. Engine bogs a lot, specially when slightly more agresive acceleration. I changed hid wire by pulling out the headlight unit and the next time I drove it this happened.

While driving, the vehicle turned off on 2 occasions. On several occasions, it lost power, and then recovered, but twice, it literally turned completely off. The "slip", "vdc off", and "service engine soon" lights all appeared. I took it to my local Infiniti dealer who said it was subject to a recall for earlier-produced models, and subject to a bulletin which described exactly what had happened. The crank position sensor and bank 1 and 2 of the cam position sensors had to be replaced at a cost of $563. 03, and Infiniti says that without NHTSA telling them to pay for it, they refuse. This car is a 2003, however, it is in mint condition with less than 55,000 original miles on it--always dealer maintained.

2004 Infiniti G35 lost power when driving. Service engine soon light as well as vdc lights are on. It is hesitant to start after that. Has happened at least one time each during the last three times the car was driven. Major safety issue as the it has happened when turning at a major intersection. Luckily we were able to coast the car to the side of the road. Same issue exist on the 2003 G35 in which there was a recall for, but none exists for the 2004 models. Contacted infinit in which I was told there was no active campaigns for my model, except for the side airbags. Was told that this would be treated as a repair (subject to very high dealer costs) and not a recall. I have found many other post on the internet with the same issue for the same model and the same complaint that it is not addressed by Infiniti. How has Infiniti verified that this does not exist in other model, especially being so close the 2003 and 2004?!? this is a major safety issue.

Window goes down on its on when try to put it up just comes right down alarm goes on but dnt lock doors dash light cuts off at times when I accelerate vehicle starts off fine 2 seconds later feels like it locks up and just gets sluggish starts running fine come to complete starts and takes off slow lights come on dash vehicle won't start I pull key out ignition put back and starts up fine.

I was diagnoses camshaft position sensor a circuit bank 2 p0345 please advise. Thanks.

The car suddenly had a very poor acceleration, like no power and a "service engine soon" lighted up. Also, the circuit board with temperature controls, does not light up. Same the radio . . . ??.

Two different incidents - I was in two minor low speed incidents. I believe at the time of the second the brake rod got bent (which is currently speculation and the insurance is investigating) from the first accident. After the first my accelerator would not function on some left hand turns. I got in the second accident because of the inability to "brake harder" and I was amazed I couldn't stop in the distance provided, and this braking scenario and outcome is repeatable. If I brake hard -- harder -- full stop. By the time I do a full stop my braking power is diminished and in my accident I was unable to stop in a "normal" distance. Furthermore, after this second accident at < 20 mph. I have intermittent accelerator failure in all driving scenarios. I could be driving and it just cuts out. No error lights in either of these scenarios. No check engine, no slip, no abs, warnings. I previously tried to bring it up to corporate Nissan and they said I had to contact the local dealership. Both dealerships I tried pawned me off to parts department, which the guy was confused as to why I am asking him about potential short falls. They wanted over $1,000 each issue to investigate. Meanwhile as I now find my car unsafe to drive for lack of accelerating and braking abilities, and the insurance company is investigating. Two accidents in 6 months, and at least the latter I think could be due to a potential faulty part - as every mechanic I have reached out to said if it is the brake rod, and in the accidents I had, it should not have bent (if that ends up being the root cause). Let alone the accelerator issues.

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.

There is a hesitation when accelerating from stop and the vehicle is warmed after about 10 minutes of running. When tachometer hits 1100 rpms the engine sputters down to about 800 rpm and jerks forward. This does not appear to be a transmission issue as this happens every time whether in drive, park or neutral. Vehicle has only stalled once so far. There appears to be reports of this being related to a rear timing belt shield gasket. This is very concerning with the vehicle stalling.

After purchasing the vehicle, I was driving it around for about a week. I came to a stop one day and my oil light came on. I took it to the dealership and asked them to check it. The dipstick is very hard to read, unlike most cars, long story short the dealership changed it. I don't believe that they did when I got it because of the color. Ever since I have been keeping track of the oil consumption issue that I have been having. I have a aftermarket warranty but they are no longer helping me with my issues (or feel as though I am not being helped) with my car at such low miles I have looked and there are several issues with vq35de motors with oil consumption issues that needs to be fixed. I have and am having sever issues with oil consumption. I just has a compression test and I have #'s but I have to call the dealership, they also just did a leak down test to see if it might be the rings just in case the compression test didn't get it. ** I now currently burn 1. 2 quarts of oil in 800 miles. Was the last and latest oil consumption test that the dealership has run. After passing both tests. The most I have seen my car use is 3qts in 3k. Not goood! I currently have 98895 on the car right now. Please if you can help :) thank you!.

Was coming to a stop at red light, just before car stopped moving it felt like the trans down shifted hard. I had my foot on brake, already stopped and car lunged forward. It felt like it was going to take off and hit the car in front of me, I put it in neutral and the car revved up to about 6500 rpm for 3 to 4 seconds then dropped down to normal. I an positive I did not have my foot on the gas and the floor mat was not pushing the pedal, I talked to my mechanic and he thinks the throttle had to be open as this is a drive by wire car.

While driving, in traffic, the vehicle failed to accelerate. Cars behind me were at a safe enough distance that I could put on my hazard lights and restart the car. This, also, happens when trying to start the car a. M. Or p. M. (with the vehicle being parked): it fails to start. The "vdc" and "slip" light comes on. This continues to happen.

I own a 2007 Infiniti G35 sedan. The vehicle hesitates/stutters/surges when slowly accelerating from a stop. This mainly occurs when the engine is cold (after a cold soak). The failure occurs while turning or driving forward and was noticed at 5-30 mph and rpms are between 700-1800. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on numerous occasions and they "could not duplicate failure. " this is dangerous as the vehicle engine surge could cause a collision.
