2004 Infiniti G35

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE REFLECTOR LAMPS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE AND WERE REPLACED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. IN ADDITION, WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL WOULD SPRAY OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK EVEN THOUGH THE FUEL TANK WAS NOT FILLED TO THE FULL CAPACITY. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 06E060000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) AND 05V555000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE MECHANIC COULD NOT LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 173,000. UPDATE 01/13/16 MA *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY INFINITI G35 WAS GIVING POOR READINGS ON THE CAR AND WOULD NOT FILL UP ALL THE WAY. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL HOW MUCH FUEL I HAD LEFT AND I ENDED UP RUNNING OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER G35'S WITH VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I ONLY HAVE 60,000 MILES ON THE CAR, SO THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART MADE THROUGH NISSAN. THERE IS A TSB BUT THEY CHARGE AROUND $400 TO FIX IT ALL WHEN IT IS A DEFECTIVE, UNSAFE PART. *TR

THE MEDAL BRACKET WAS CRACKED AND MAKES THE SEAT LOOSE AND MOVE DURING DRIVING. THIS MAKES THE CAR EXTREAMLY DANGEROUS. I HAVE HAD 3 MECHANICS LOOK AT THE SEAT AND THEY HAVE NOTIFIED ME THAT IT WAS A FAILURE IN THE STEAL BRACKET USED TO SECURE THE SEAT TO THE FRAME OF THE CAR. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN IT TO A INFINITI DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS WEAR AND TEAR FROM THE WEIGHT OF THE DRIVER. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE AND I AM 6'0 & 176LBS. IF THIS SEAT WAS THE EFFECT FROM WEAR AND TEAR, THEN THIS WOULD VIOLATE THE LEMON LAW ACT. NEXT, THIS SAME VEHICLE ALSO HAS A FAULTY GAS GAUGE. THIS GAUGE DOES NOT ACCURATELY READ THE GAS AFTER A FILL UP NOR DOES IT EVER GO ALL THE WAY TO FULL TANK. THIS WAS A RECALL ON OTHER MODEL YEARS FROM THIS MANUFACTURAR AND WAS RESOLVED. I BELEIVE THAT MY MODEL, MAKE AND YEAR WAS OVER LOOKED FOR THE FUEL GUAGE RECALL. *TT

I PURCHASE MY 2004 G35 LAST YEAR AND ABOUT A MONTH OR 2 LATER I STARTED TO NOTICE A STROP GAS SMELL. DIDN'T PAY NO MIND TO IT UNTIL WHEN I MOVED INTO A NEW APARTMENT AND WALK OUT TO MY CAR AN NOTED A PUDDLE UNDERNEATH MY CAR AND IT WAS GAS. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN EVER I FILL UP MY CAR IS WHEN THE SPILLAGE HAPPENS THE MOST AND I LOSE ALOT OF GAS UNTIL IT GET BELOW 1/2 TANK THEN IT STOPS SPILLING UT BUT YOU CAN STILL SMELL THE GAS. I HAVE TURNED IT INTO MY LOCAL INFINITI DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE YET TO MENTION TO ME WHAT IT IS. JUST BECAUSE THERE HAPPEN TO BE A SMALL DENT ON THE TANK UNDERNEATH THEY SAY THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE LEAK. JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME WHEN IT ONLY SPILLS WHEN ITS FULL AND NOT WHEN ITS LESS THEN HALF. THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TANK AND CHARGE ME $1600+ TO REPLACE THE TANK. DOES THIS FALL UNDER ANY KIND OF RECALL FRO FUEL LEAKAGE? *TR

I WAS FILLING GAS ON MY 2004 INFINITI G35 COUPE. AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK ($35 WORTH), I STARTED DRIVING OFF ONLY TO BE STOPPED BY ANOTHER DRIVER 100 FEET AWAY FROMTHE GAS STATION. THE DRIVER STOPPED ME TO LET ME KNOW THAT MY CAR WAS LEAKING GAS. AFTER LOOKING AT IT, GAS WAS JUST POURING FROM UNDERNEATH MY CAR, IN LESS THAN MINUTES MY GAS TANK WAS EMPTY AND THE CAR WILL NOT START. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I READ THAT THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE 2004 INIFNITI G35 (FUEL LEAKAGE PROBLEMS). HOWEVER, AFTER CALLING INIFINITY, THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, BUT INSTEAL INDICATED THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND WILL OFFER TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX MY CAR FOR A FEE. I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AS FUEL LINE LEAKAGE COULD CAUSE FIRES. PLEASE HELP BRING THIS MATTER TO LIGHT. THANKS.

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY CAR HAS BEEN INCORRECT FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS. IT WOULD SUDDENLY DIP DOWN TO EMPTY EVEN AFTER TRAVELING ONLY 20 MILES ON A FULL TANK OF GAS. THE GAGE WOULD BOUNCE UP AND DOWN AND HAS CAUSED ME TO PANIC MANY TIMES WHILE DIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE ONLY WAY TO TRULY KNOW HOW MUCH IS LEFT IN THE TANK IS BY RESETTING MY TRIP MONITOR AFTER EACH FUELING AND NOT TO EXCEED 220 MILES BEFORE MY NEXT REFILL. I HAVE A COUSIN WHO HAS THE SAME EXACT CAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 INFINITI G35 COUPE. THE CONTACT SMELLS A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE AFTER THE IGNITION WAS STARTED. IN ADDITION, SHE MUST REFILL THE GASOLINE IN HER VEHICLE EVERY TWO DAYS. AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK, SHE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED AFTER TWO DAYS. A MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE APPEARED TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE GASOLINE SYSTEM. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V555000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. SHE FEELS THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE SHE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURES. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 56,000.
