My infinity g35 2005 m/t has a manufacturers defect of oil consumption and is very common to the engine for this model the vq35 it only has 63,000 miles on it and it consumes 1.5 quarts of oil every 1,000 miles. The car starts knocking with no oil in it by 2,000 after an oil change. I change the oil and only 1 quart comes out when it's supposed to have 5quarts! This is also causing my check engine light to turn on with codes that the oxygen sensors and three way catalyst are bad. It squeals when turning it on and knocks while driving.

Driving car then it stalled. Tried to restart and all lights came on (engine, vcf, slip-light). Wouldn't start for 2 minutes. Once restarted, engine light stayed on. Drove car to get diagnostic test. Diagnostic says camshaft position sensor. Researched and found same happenings on 2002 & 2003 models; infiniti has recall on those. Called about my VIN and infiniti claims that my VIN is not included in recall.

I was driving on the highway at 55 miles an hour when unexpectedly, the car starts to make some noise then it completely shuts down the motor, the check engine light comes on, vdc off, and slip lights all came on. I tried to restart the car, and only after multiple attempts (about three) did the car start. There is no warning. The auto repair facility ran a diagnostic and the code they got was the cam sensors needed replacing, which cost me $650. They said they have been replacing a lot of these. It's very prevalent. They informed me that the 2003 model of the infiniti g35 had arecall for the same problem.

While driving the car the engine lights come on and the car shuts completely off, no power at all, no control of car at all. I almost had an accident. The car does start again. This has happened two more times since. Very scary. This is a huge safety concern. It happens without notice. I called infiniti and was told my car was not manufactured at the plant they were calling recalls for. Well excuse me infiniti your problem is wide spread and extremely dangerous (my infinity case number for this problem **as well as my passenger airbag sensor problem they are not willing to address is 15697563). They informed me the airbag sensor was replaced in 2010 - it was not. I have the car-facts to prove this. Infiniti stated to bring my car back to norwood, massachusetts infiniti for a diagnostic. I will do this this week but sadly expect the same run around I have received before. This car between the two safety issues I have reported above is at extreme crash and injury risk.

I have done some research online. Lots of people are having or have had the same problem. Very prevalent. As you are driving the down the road the car starts to make some noise then it completely shuts down the motor, the check engine light comes on and does not start once it stops. There is no warning. It takes a while for the sensor to reset -- putting me and my vehicle in harms way. This happened to me on a very busy overpass. The vehicle shut down. I had a hard time steering and getting over out of the way. I was almost hit several times by other cars driving 50 plus MPH. I had to have the car towed. Once we got to the auto repair facility. It started again but then shut off. I was googling this symptom and the year, make model (2005 infiiniti g35 engine stall) and this was all over the internet. Several other people were put at risk of injury. I was convinced this was my problem, too. The auto repair facility ran a diagnostic and this was the code they got as well. I already knew what the problem was going to be. So my question is... Why has this not been recalled if? It is dangerous. I don't want this to happen to anyone else. Thank god my daughter was not driving.
