Steering Problems of Infiniti G35

Driving on the highway in fast lane during evening commute, my infinity malfunctioned - random engine shutoff. This malfunction disabled all features of vehicle - lights, steering, brakes, airbags, and more. (the previous section only let me select three affected parts) luckily I was able to coast vehicle to a stop on the inside of the highway without causing an accident, being injured myself or worse. Had to have vehicle towed from scene. Research shows that a variety of infinity vehicles from 2005 to the current year have experienced this same malfunction issue and there seems to have been a recall issued for later years. I contacted infinity regarding this issue and was told that my vehicle not covered. Request that NHTSA investigate cause of random shutoff (some sort of fuel sensor) and issue a recall for all infinity years/models to correct this issue. Infinity suggests I bring vehicle in for diagnosis but will be subject to hourly rate for diagnosis and replacement parts/repairs.

I was traveling at around 25mph on broadway street in san francisco when all of a sudden I felt my car start to swerve on it's own. I steered to correct it but my steering wheel was completely disconnected it felt like. All I could do was hit my brakes as quickly as I could but I ended up crashing into a parked vehicle. My steering wheel had no weight and turned freely while the front wheels had no movement whatsoever. I couldn't even reverse so had to wait for the tow truck to come and pull me away from the vehicle I collided with. I called Infiniti and they said they will not investigate this since I bought the car used, the mileage and it was previously in a front end collision in 2013. However, this should not happen as there is no required or recommended maintenance for steering. I was lucky that this didn't happen on the freeway or the car didn't swerve into oncoming traffic. This is a huge safety issue and I believe Infiniti/ Nissan should further investigate this before someone is killed.

My car has started stalling while driving, while driving! I have gone to the dealer to have issue fixed, once I get it fixed it happens again, and then the dealer says it might be something else. I have a small child and its terrifying knowing that if I'm on the highway my car will stall or anywhere for that matter. It's been happening for weeks, started at very low speeds and as of yesterday the engine shut off, no steering while going at a higher speed, I could have easily been in a wreck, or even killed someone walking. It's unsafe! there are many forums online regarding this issue with Infiniti vehicles and they don't care. Lawsuit waiting to happen.

Power steering went out completely without warning or signs of going out. It went out while trying to turn left on a large intersection. Was almost hit by oncoming traffic. Oil change was done at firestone a day prior to incident and steering fluid levels were good.

The contact owned a 2005 Infiniti G35. While driving 35 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. The contact lost control and crashed into a tree. The front driver side air bag failed to deploy. The contact sustained head and neck injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was destroyed and towed. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

Made a right turn onto a round about street and when I tried to turn left my steering wheel locked straight like if the car was parked. The wheels wouldn't turn and I hit a parked truck where a person was working on. He did get injured but I am not aware of the exact injuries he sustained. I was driving a 2005 G35 sedan which I've had for around 4 months.

The contact owns a 2004 Infiniti G35. While pulling in the driveway at approximately 4 mph, the vehicle stalled and all the warning indicators illuminated. The power steering seized. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.

I drove to baltimore from DC and back with no issues, then turned to go into the alleyway behind my home. All of a sudden, the steering wheel locked and would not turn and all the lights on the dashboard came on, including the brake light. My brake pad froze midway down, stopping the car, but not budging, even when I tapped the gas pedal. I put on and off the parking brake, to no avail. I tried to move the steering wheel around, but could not. Then I tried to turn off the car and restart it, but it took me three tries. When I restarted the car, the brake pad started functioning normally again and the car has been normal ever since. Additionally, nothing like this has ever happened before.

My 2005 Infiniti G35 unexpectedly shut off while I was driving it today. Thankfully, I was not on the freeway at the time. The service engine soon, vdc off, and slip lights all came on. I tried to restart the car, and only after multiple attempts (about five) did the car start, and I was able to park in a safe place. Something very similar happened with this car in July 2010. After the July 2010 incident, I had to replace a couple of sensors, which cost over $1,000. I did not expect to have to relive the experience of having my car shut off without warning while driving. I believe that the older (2003) version of the Infiniti G35 had a recall for a similar problem. It is unacceptable that Infiniti / Nissan has not found a permanent solution to this problem. I had my car towed to an Infiniti dealership this evening, and I await the diagnostic reading tomorrow. I will be petrified to drive my car now.

Approximately 3 months ago I purchased a 2005 Infiniti G35 for my daughter. Two weeks ago the car began to shut completely down while she was driving it with no warning whatsoever - regardless of speed. There would be a complete loss of power, including power steering, so it would be difficult for her to get the car off the road before attempting to restart it. This problem has continued to occur at random every time the car is driven creating a very dangerous situation; particularly, for a teenage driver. I googled the car's issues, and learned that Nissan has a recall on 2005 Infiniti G35's for the replacement of a camshaft position sensor which has been described as causing this loss of power problem. I called Nissan to see if my daughter's car was on the recall list and was told it was not. An Infiniti dealer ran a diagnostic on the car this morning and confirmed that the car's camshaft position sensor had failed and needs to be replaced. I believe Nissan should honor this recall on every 2005 Infiniti G35 vehicle - not just those vehicles whose VIN numbers appear on the recall list - especially those vehicles who have had the sensor fail. The repair totals $425. 00 and I am seeking reimbursement of that amount from Nissan.

Tl-the contact owns a 2005 Infiniti G35. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the steering wheel became difficult and was unable to engage the brakes and accelerator pedals. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic they were unable to diagnosed the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000. Lb.

As I was accelerating to access highway, I was not able to accelerate my vehicle. It was as if I was running out of gas. I kept pressing the gas pedal and it slowly started to accelerate and seemed fine. A few minutes later when I was sitting at a red light, the car died. I put it in park and restarted and it was fine. A few days later the same thing happened as I was in the carpool line at my daughter's school. Car was running, while I waited and it suddenly shut down. When I restarted, the check engine light was illuminated and remained on. I checked my manual and thought it could be the gas cap wasn't on tight enough or bad gas. Filled up my tank and a few hours later check engine light went out. Today the car died as I was pulling into my driveway, however immediately restarted. Researched recall information and contacted Infiniti and was told my vehicle was not part of NHTSA campaign number 03v455000.

All switches for radio, horn only work when steering wheel is in approximately 180 degree position. In normal driving position, no horn or other steering mounted controls function.

I was driving normally through town at 30 mph when the engine just stopped and all the dash warning lights came on. Fortunately, I was able to safely coast into a parking lot off the road. I put the car in park and turned car ignition to off position. I turned it on again and the car started normally. I put the car into reverse and the engine immediately stalled. I put the car back into park and turned car ignition to off position. I waited a few more minutes, started the car and was able to drive home.

I was on the side of a mountain road when suddenly the car started shaking and I lost engine power as well as power steering. All engine lights turned on. I looked this up, and it seems like many people have had this problem so there was recall on the Infiniti G35 sedan, but interestingly not on the coupe. The recall is regarding the camshaft positioning sensor. I had my car towed afterwards to my mechanic and he verified the problem was this sensor as well. This car failure was very sudden and extremely dangerous.

While driving, wheels started shaking. When I took the vehicle to Infiniti they said the compression rods went bad and that this was a common problem in G35s. Service guy even told me that the part is defective and if it breaks while driving your tire/wheel can fly off. If it is defective then why hasn't Infiniti issued a recall?.

Loss of power steering under normal driving conditions. I first noticed the brake and battery light on. When I attempted to make a left turn to get off of a major road, I realized I no longer had power steering. Fortunately, I was near a shopping center and was able to drive the car off the road and into the parking lot. Here's the end result. The dealer service center said the belt tensioner seized which broke the belt. In my case, the belt also tore off the front crank seal and engine oil was everywhere. My car is 2007 G35 sedan with 13,000 miles. When I retrieved my car, the service rep indicated Infiniti was aware of the problem and they subsequently redesigned the parts. Claimed I should not have the problem again - boy I hope so. I could have been in a serious accident because of the known defect. Why this isn't a recall issue is beyond me. I am reporting it so others will know of this issue. Is this another case of repair as needed rather than recall?.

Infiniti g 35x 2007. At 20,000 miles, the power steering belt broke during speeds of 60 mph. I was told the belt was defective. At 25,000 miles, the belt broke again on the freeway at 60 mph. I had difficulty maneuvering the car off the freeway and am traffic heavy with no shoulder. The dealership replaced the belt again but was unable to state the cause. They stated they replaced parts surrounding the belt. I now have approx 28,000 miles and a wheel bearing and the differential had to be replaced. Nissan, the parent company is aware of the power steering issue but states that this has never happened with any of their vehicles. I believe I have a lemon vehicle but washington state lemon law states too much time has elapsed to be covered under this. We received no assistance from Nissan corp. I consider this a safety issue.

I purchased a 2005 G35 coupe in July of 2005. Since taking receipt of the vehicle the car has pulled right. This occurs on all road surfaces and is more pronounced at higher speeds. The dealer told me the car was aligned to factory specifications. Then they changed out the tires and wheels with ones from a loaner car that didn't pull (and had similar miles). Then they told me it was due to road crown. The last time (4th) time I took it in they said all Infiniti's pull to the right. A quick survey among four other Infiniti owners at work revealed that none of their Infinitis pull right. The dealer refuses to rectify the problem. [side note: there were service bulletins for the 2003 and 2004 G35's for the same problem. ].
