My 2006 infinity g35 manual transmission has 86,000 miles and has excessive oil consumption. I put 3 quarts of oil in after just 700 miles of driving. I took it to the dealership for an oil consumption test. They confirmed that there are no leaks. They performed an oil change and placed dye in the oil. I'm to take it back after 500 driving miles. There are multiple complaints on the internet regarding this exact issue; however, to date, nissan has not issued a recall. This is completely unacceptable. I have taken excellent care of my car and now this - no support from nissan. Please the federal safety agency help!

Excessive engine oil consumption. The vehicle has 148k miles. This problem has resurface many times in the past and I get a warning that the vehicle need to be service. Each time the dealer informed me that the oil level was low and after they add oil and reset the warning it is fine until the oil again goes below the safe level. The car has been maintained by the same dealership since it was purchased. On the last previous services due to this issue I been told that the engine needs to be replace. Navigating the internet I have found various similar complains from customer were the dealer has replaced the engine. Since this is appears to be a manufacturer defect, I believe it should be corrected by the infiniti company even that the warranty is expired due that I have addressed this to them on various previous visits ( I don't have the exact time this first happened, the date below is a estimated guess) to their service department.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 infiniti g35. While traveling approximately 30 MPH, the vehicle suddenly stalled and the service engine warning lamp, slip warning lamp, and vdc off warning lamp illuminated. The contact was able to pull the vehicle over, turn off, and restart the vehicle. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 03v455000 (engine and engine cooling). The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where it was diagnosed that the crank (camshaft) position sensors needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.

Not sure this is something you would pursue but I have not been able to get satisfaction from lake norman infiniti locally or their national customer service support desk. I have a 2006 infiniti coupe with 24k miles on it. I had an issue with what was determined to be the cooling fans for that car. I was told by the parts manager(john) at the dealership that car has known issues with the cooling fans. The service manager (victor) sent me to the national team. The car went into service on 08/05/06. The part failed on or about 08/15/14. I am being told by the national team that the part had a 8 yr ' hard' warranty on it. There have since been denials about the part being defective since my initial contact with lake norman dealership. I was there in march of 2014 for service and was never communicated an issue with that part. The car has low mileage as it sits in the garage most the time. I was driving it to wilmington when I saw the first evidence of a problem on 08/16. As a result of the issue, I had to replace the cooling fans and the radiator on the car.

I have always had my mechanic do servicing on my infiniti until he closed the business. Since then, I have been doing my own oil changes at home. Doing so, I have noticed that the amount of used engine oil is roughly 2.5 quarts. In the owners manual, when changing the engine oil with oil filter, the vehicle intakes 5 quarts of oil. It seems like the engine is burning oil because I don't see any oil leak marks on my driveway.

I was heading south on I 75 in florida heading towards bradenton in the passing lane doing between 75 & 80 when my engine shut down making a loud noise. I immediately put my flashers on and was able to move to the side of the road in the emergency lane, luckily there was one. The car behind me went to the middle lane at that point. I am so furious this happened as I just had my car serviced the week before and I am 72, a senior citizen. The cooling fans apparently knocked out the thermostat. I had it towed to the dealer in tampa who then informs me the warranty was extended on a recall till october and that infiniti would pay for the cooling fans but not the thermostat... I think all infiniti owners should've been notified of this problem and had it fixed but no letters were written, its an unwritten recall apparently because they have had problems. I find fault with this situation because I could have been killed waiting for help just being on the side of the road like that on an interstate.... Shame on infiniti for not making this a true recall.... Are they waiting for someone to get killed before they officially recall it?? I no longer have any confidence in infiniti and am looking for a different vehicle to purchase, this one is off my list now... This car has been very expensive to keep up....

I have a 2006 manual transmission g35 that is consuming up to 2 quarts of oil every 1000 miles. I did not realize this was happening until my engine made a loud repetitive ticking noise and when I checked the oil there was less than a quart in it. I've since continued topping off my oil weekly and contacted the dealerships. Since I am out of warranty the only thing I can do is replace the block myself. I am very disappointed how they are handling this situation with not only me but many other infiniti owners. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
