2005 Infiniti G35

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, WASHINGTON, DC. MY CAR, FOR NO APPARENT REASON SHUT OFF AND A LIGHT "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" CAME ON. THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT THE CAR WAS GOING TO CUT-OFF. IT SIMPLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I TRIED TO RESTART AND WAS UNSUCCESSFUL THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES. ABOUT THE 4TH TRY MY CAR STARTED AND I CONTINUED TO MY DESTINATION. THE "SES" LIGHT REMAINED ON. ABOUT 1 TO 2 MILES INTO THE REMAINDER OF THE DRIVE, THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN IN TRAFFIC AND A LIGHT THAT READ "SLIP" APPEARED ALONG WITH VDC ON/OFF. I HAVE THE SLIGHTEST IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS, BUT IT WAS FRIGHTENING TO BE IN TRAFFIC AND HAVE MY CAR SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND MY CHILDREN ON BOARD. WE COULD HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN IN A REALLY BAD SITUATION HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE SEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND BELIEVE THIS SHOULD TRULY BE CONSIDERED AS A VIABLE RECALL. I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD WAIT FOR ANY ACTUAL ACCIDENT OR DEATH TO OCCUR BEFORE THIS IS ADDRESSED PROPERLY. *TR

THE VDC AND SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO FAIL TO START OR STALL CONTINUOUSLY. MY CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED ON THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR RECALL 03V455000 THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING WITH THE VDC AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHTS ARE ON. CAR KEEPS ON SHUTTING DOWN. REPLACED CAM SHAFT SENSOR AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY 12/09/13. LOOKS LIKE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

MY CAR GOES THRU ALMOST 2 QUARTS PER 1000 MILES. THIS CAR MODEL YEAR HAVE A TBS REPORT FROM INFINITI FOR OIL CONSUMPTION OC PROBLEM A LOT OF OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM INFINITI REFUSE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE OUT OF WARRANTY THEY KNOW IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PISTON RINGS ON THE REV UP 05 07 ENGINES , THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL . WAS TOLD WE CAN MAKE A COMPLAINT TO NISSAN/INFINITI FOR VQ35DE REV-UP ENGINES CONSUMING A LOT OF OIL AT 1K MILES.UNSAFE TO DRIVE CAR NORMALLY IN FEAR OF MOTOR MALFUNCTION MAJOR DAMAGE AND LOSS OF VALUE. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY TO SCHOOL DOING 65 ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR LOSES POWER AND STARTS TO STALL IN THE FREEWAY. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO EXPLODE AND COULDN'T ACCELERATE. I GOT OFF THE NEXT EXIT AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER IN A GAS STATION. LATER ON I BROUGHT IT TO THE SHOP AND TOLD ME MY CAMSHAFT BROKE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2003/2004 MODELS FOR CAMSHAFT DOING THIS BUT STOPPED FOR 2005 EVEN THOUGH MY CAR DID THE SAME THING AS THEY DID. CALLED INFINITI AND THEY HAD NOTHING TO SAY. THANKFULLY I WASN'T HURT BUT I REALLY WISH INFINITI STEPPED UP AND FIXED THIS PROBLEM FOR THE 2005 MODELS BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THEY DID IT FOR 03/04 MODELS AND IF IT DOES IT IN THE 05'S WHY NOT DO A RECALL ALSO. *TR

MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING CREATING A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. ENGINE RESTARTED WITH HESITATION AND VDC, SLIP, AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT IT WAS DUE TO A FAULTY CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND PARTS AND LABOR FOR A NEW ONE WOULD COST AN ESTIMATED $500. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON 2003 MODELS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, RECALL #03V455000. AS I HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE ON OTHER MODELS, IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND AN UPDATED RECALL FOR OTHER MODEL YEARS NEEDS TO BE ENFORCED. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND COULD RESULT IN SEVERAL LAWSUITS. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE IN MOTION CREATING A DANGER ON THE ROADWAY. RESTARTED, BUT THE ENGINE HESITATED BEFORE TURNING OVER. CHECK ENGINE, VDC & SLIP WARNING LIGHTS WERE DISPLAYED AND REMAINED ON. DEALER INSPECTED VEHICLE AND DETERMINED A FAULTY CAM SENSOR AND REMEDIED TO REPLACE COSTING ALMOST $500. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THE 2003 MODEL WHICH HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. RECALL #03V455000. INFINITI WILL NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT THEIR EXPENSE WITHOUT A RECALL. IT SHOULD BE ASSUMED NEWER MODELS WILL EXHIBIT SIMILAR PROBLEMS AS THE ORIGINAL RECALL. I HOPE SUBSEQUENT MODELS WILL BE ADDED TO THE ORIGINAL RECALL. MOST OWNERS ARE NOT AWARE OF REPORTING THESE ISSUES UNTIL SERIOUS INJURIES OCCUR AND THERE'S LITIGATION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND PRESSURE MANUFACTURER TO ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE - PUT CAR FROM REVERSE INTO DRIVE - ENGINE SUDDENLY RACED TO RED LINE. MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AT THIS MOMENT. EVEN WITH MAXIMUM PRESSURE ON BRAKE PEDAL CAR MOVED FORWARD TO OTHER PARKED CARS AND WOULD NOT RETURN TO IDLE. I TURNED OFF IGNITION. CAR STOPPED 12 INCHES FROM A PARKED CAR. WHEN RESTARTED, CAR BEHAVED NORMALLY AND I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPRODUCE INCIDENT. VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM! *TR

TAKE THE CAR FOR A OIL CHANGE AFTER 8 MONTHS BUT ONLY 1800 MILES AND OIL WAS AT LOW MARK , THIS CAR MODEL YEAR HAVE A TBS REPORT FROM INFINITI FOR OIL CONSUMPTION OC PROBLEM A LOT OF OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM INFINITI REFUSE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE OUT OF WARRANTY THEY KNOW IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PISTON RINGS ON THE REV UP 05 07 ENGINES , THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL .
