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 the federal safety agency 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.

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 ...??

I had pulled up to drive thru window at the bank and put my car in park, with the engine running, when I finished my transaction I tried to put my car in drive but the gear shifter wouldn't move. I finally shut my car off and waited a few seconds and started it again and the shifter worked. It has also happened to me when I have started my car and tried to put it in reverse. It is intermittent. I also have an air bag sensor light flashing and hope they will include my VIN # in the recall but they haven't so far. Even in the expanded recall. I don't know why. When does our safety become important? My stereo/cd player also stopped working and I had to replace that. What good does all of these repetitive complaints do if the auto companies aren't made to repair all of them?

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!

Well I bought this car from bellflower auto mart thinking that I bought a pretty dependable car come to find out the previous owner was drinking and driving and totaled the car, so now the car should have a salvage title but it doesnt the airbag system in the car does not work at all, the dealer bought the wrecked car from auction and repaired it themselves and sold it to me as if it was never in any accident, I asked for the carfax report but it unfortunately slipped my mind after all the paper work, but I went the next day to return the car after I found all this out and was kicked off the property.

The transmission in my 2003 g35 infiniti failed after only 76,000 miles. I contacted infiniti and was denied any assistance. I had the repairs completed for $4,000 plus after negotiating with the dealership. I am very disappointed in such a major equipment failure after on a luxury car.
