What owners say
Hello I purchased a 2004 infiniti g35 sedan from star max in orlando fl east colonial drive I've only had it 3 days tops , first of all I left and the gas gauge isn't working or the speedometer , also my radio keeps going in and out my left window seems to go up and down when it wants too, my tire pressure lights on and my cars making a very funny roaring noise in the back. Also when I go to make turns ,my wheel just keeps turning on its own and hard to turn back straight it locks up . And I believe there may be a fuel pump issue as well I've spoken to several sales men there and complained saying I need to fix things the right way or I need a different car im paying $325 a month way out of my budget on a buy here pay here car that's not even worth it at this moment in time. Please someone help me I need to do something about this fast!
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.
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.
Fuel gauge on infinity g35 coupe (04) always incorrect. Pumping fuel into the car also difficult as it usually doesn't allow a full fill up.
Fuel gauge seems to drastically drop when car is turned off and then turned back on again. After a couple of days car will read fuel empty when it still has about a quarter of a tank of gas. When refilling car with fuel, car will only take about 15 gallons of gas and then register full again. This car has a 20 gallon tank.
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.
