2005 Infiniti G35 transmission complaints

I have a 2005 g35 coupe w/ heavy oil consumption problems. My car is consuming roughly 3 quarts of oil every 2,000 miles and infiniti has done an oil consumption test and had one of their techs look at my car and they determined that I needed a new engine but they will not warranty a new one for me. The corporate hq told me they took pictures and a sample,that they have yet to show me and are going to void my warranty. I have since taken it to another shop and they don't agree with infiniti findings and corporate has still not sent me anything in writing or any pictures of their findings. All I got was a phone call saying they were going to void my warranty and I spoke with the service tech and he does not agree with the findings either and said that my modification to my car does not cause that much oil consumption and I am being shunned away by the dealership. I am also apart of a g35 forum and there are many threads/posts of people with the same oil consumption problem and they are getting the same treatment and I believe that this should be a recall on these engines and I need, along with other need to receive a new engine. Infiniti/nissan knows about this issue but they will not come clean with their findings and are blaming the customer and I honestly do not think it is fair.
I have had multiple issues with my car. The most severe have been a replacement bolt on the axle that made a clicking sound when I put it in reverse. That took place within 2 months of my owning the car. The other has been my brakes. They were making squealing sounds when they were depressed, at 4500 miles. I kept complaining to the dealership and they finally realized that there was an issue with the front brakes. It was fixed at 9,000 miles. The squealing subsided somewhat, but there has always been a sound. I took my car in again recently for routine maintenance and complained that the sound has still not gone away. They said there was dust on the brakes, and that once it was cleaned up, it should be fine. They said my back brakes were now an issue. Mysteriously, after picking up my car, the squealing was worse and was now coming from the back of the car. The service rep said that I need to fix them within the 1500 miles. I was not having any issues with back brakes up until this point. I truly believe that the service tech tampered did something to them. Finally, my sunroof starting giving out and requires a new motor. This all happened within 2 years with barely 14,000 miles!
Dt*: the contact stated there is a loud rubbing noise from the front end, which can be heard above the radio. The dealership determined the noise was a cupping on the inside of the tires, this is caused by the vehicle. The tires need to be replaced every 10,000 miles. Also, the clutch was grinding, but the dealership refuses to look at this.
