2006 Infiniti G35: check engine light

Filed Jul 12, 2023 · Electrical · CA

Fuel gauge in instrument cluster malfunctioned, inaccurately reading more than half full. This caused me to run out of gas on a public road. In addition to the risk of becoming a stationary road hazard, I lost power brakes and steering when the gas ran out which caused me to almost hit the car in front of me. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealship or service center, however I had the sending units replaced which a mechanic said would fix the issue and it didn't. The gauge is still inaccurate. I have not had the cluster inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representative. I have researched the issue myself and learned that the cluster is commonly defective, I also have an intermittent left turn signal. There was a check engine light (P0462) intermittently on, which was temporarily fixed by replacing the sending units but has since come back. I don't know when they first appeared.

Infinity g35 shuts off while driving vcd light comes on slip light comes on and check engine light comes on. The g35 dies, low power, or sputters at low or slowing engine speed e.g. When slowing for traffic signals, or turning (usually across a lane of traffic!). I have had it happen on the interstate it was immediately following a sharp release of the accelerator, as when punching it to pass then release, or reaching speed limit, and release, from acceleration lane. Once right after entering the freeway, I was setting my cruise control when it sputtered and I was afraid it was going to die but it finally kicked in with the cruise control. I don't know the ECM code but it indicated: cam shaft position sensor. I wonder if there are any others with this code or problem? Like everyone else, mine is not covered under any of the recalls. I have taken my car to the dealer shop several times with the complaint of strong gas smell prior to this code/engine light coming on. They tell me there is nothing wrong. I'm not sure whether this is connected to the cam shaft sensor or not, but the smell of gas inside the cabin is very strong while driving at time. The gas fumes can be smelled out side the vehicle when not in motion either after just starting or parking the vehicle.

I own a 2006 infiniti g35 coupe that has less than 60k miles and burns two quarts of oil every 1000 miles. I originally became aware of the problem back in 2008. I took my vehicle to the dealership to begin excessive engine oil consumption testing. At that time I only drove about 200 miles a month and the dealer said I needed to be driving 2500 miles to perform the test. I explained that there wasn't a way to put the mileage on my car without unnecessarily driving around town. My car requires premium gas and it's absolutely ridiculous for someone to think I would spend thousands in gas to show my car has a oil burning issue. Last month after less than a thousand miles since my last oil change, my service engine light came on. I took to the dealer immediately and they said my car definitely has a oil consumption problem. They also said they would not fix it because my warranty is expired by time not mileage. The manufacturer as well as the dealer are fully aware that there is tsb issued on my vehicle. I have opened a case with infiniti consumer affairs as well as the bbb. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

At ~7,900mi, I took my g35 coupe 6mt to infiniti dealership when I started hearing a knocking noise and noticed that the "check engine" light would come up every few times a week. I was called in 4 more times after that (every 1,000mi) specifically for oil-level testing. The dealership received an approval to replace the engine, and at 14,500mi, after just about 6 months, I drove out with a new one (10102-ac7m9). I was told to go easy for the initial 12-15k. After driving about 1000mi now, I am running low on oil. I just checked it myself. I plan on taking it to the dealership soon to record it formally. But this is not the only problem I am having, the new engine seems to be a lot louder and a bit sluggish too.. Yes.. Definitely not the ride I got used too!!
