I was at stop light and G35 jolted. At the next light the car completely turned off and all the power of the car went dead. Nothing was lit at all. Had a power boost with jumper cables and the car started right up. Luckily I was a few blocks away from the house, but it was scary since my kids were in the car and the car turned off crossing the intersection. The car turns on, but I am not trusting in driving it anywhere. There is not check engine light on or warning. I was told battery was fine a C1109 code came up, stating low voltage. Possible issues with the ABS or crank position sensor, which under o1v357 recall, these cars were impacted, but this Infiniti was not included, and it should have been. I exclusively took auto to Infiniti for maintenance until around 2018 and I never had them mention anything to me about these issues.

Driving on highway 50 my way to work the following dash lights came on vdc off, ABS, slip. After pulling over to examine what was wrong I discovered I had no brake lights & the 10 amp brake fuse had blown. I then got back in my car to drive to a parts store & the shift lock wouldn't disengage. So I manually engaged the shift lock & drove to the parts store & replaced the fuse but the dash lights were still on so I began to drive home & the brakes became tighter & wouldn't release & they eventually were completely locked with all 4 so hot they were smoking so I parked it. The next day I went to drive to a mechanic & the brakes had released but the more I drove they started engaging on their own without releasing & became hot again so I parked it again. Basically after it sets the brakes release but after driving for a short distance 2-5 miles they begin to engage & not release causing them to overheat. I've searched the internet for solutions & it appears numerous people have had the same problem & some have had a short in a brake wire harness & others have replaced speed sensors or ABS pumps but they can't tell which caused the problem since it's intermittent. I believe this is a safety issue because I was in motion on a highway with a tractor trailor behind me & my brakes began engaging on their own & I was terrified of being rear ended & possibly killed. Now I'm afraid to drive my vehicle because I don't know if it will happen again or how to fix it.

My slip light and vct light has came on in my 2003 infiniti g35 and also the ebrake light and non of them will go offf. I recently hydro planed in the rain due not being able to turn my traction control on ABS did nothing to stop my car from loosing traction this would never of happened if my car did not have these problems. Further looking into it they have had made a tsb talking about how the ABS and anti wheel lock may malfunction. I was in a 5 car pile up and almost died. If my traction control was able to be turned on witch it wouldn't let me I would not of hydro planed my whole back end just swung forward out of nowhere people though someone in my car pulled my ebrake the way the back end just swung forward. Both the slip light and the vct light remained on along with my ebrake light. I drive my car like a baby and to barley push the gas should not result in my back end swinging forward resulting in completely wreching my car along with 4 other drivers. I feel infiniti is definitely reliable and should of recalled these parts due to putting people in danger instead of making it a tsb like its not a big deal. I am also not the only one iv found a few people that crashed there car due to rainy wether and the traction control not wanting to turn on. I was on the freeway doing about 60 to 65. If I new infiniti had so many problems I would not of purchased one 77 bulletins and after reading about all the problems the 2003 had and all the recalled parts I would not of purchased it and put my life at risk. I feel infiniti should be reliable it's commen sense to know that first hand not fixing those problems would lead to serious injuries and I'm not the only one. Let me know what you think I will be emailing infiniti to. It may not be a recalled part but it' put me and everyone else on the freeway at risk and totaled my car. Bellow is someone who also had the issue

Two different incidents - I was in two minor low speed incidents. I believe at the time of the second the brake rod got bent (which is currently speculation and the insurance is investigating) from the first accident. After the first my accelerator would not function on some left hand turns. I got in the second accident because of the inability to "brake harder" and I was amazed I couldn't stop in the distance provided, and this braking scenario and outcome is repeatable. If I brake hard -- harder -- full stop. By the time I do a full stop my braking power is diminished and in my accident I was unable to stop in a "normal" distance. Furthermore, after this second accident at < 20 MPH. I have intermittent accelerator failure in all driving scenarios. I could be driving and it just cuts out. No error lights in either of these scenarios. No check engine, no slip, no ABS, warnings. I previously tried to bring it up to corporate nissan and they said I had to contact the local dealership. Both dealerships I tried pawned me off to parts department, which the guy was confused as to why I am asking him about potential short falls. They wanted over $1,000 each issue to investigate. Meanwhile as I now find my car unsafe to drive for lack of accelerating and braking abilities, and the insurance company is investigating. Two accidents in 6 months, and at least the latter I think could be due to a potential faulty part - as every mechanic I have reached out to said if it is the brake rod, and in the accidents I had, it should not have bent (if that ends up being the root cause). Let alone the accelerator issues.

The anti-lock braking system module (ABS) has burned out and is happening so often, infinity is unable to supply the demand and there is a nationwide back order for the part. After waiting 2 weeks for the part beginning 10/31/13, my mechanic disconnected the ABS module, so that I can have transportation because he does not know when the part will be available. I no longer have use of ABS and this also keeps vehicle dynamic control from functioning. As of today's date 12/09/13, I am still waiting for the part and driving without the use of safety features during this wet winter months. It may be worth noting that the low end of this repair at an independent shop is $1400 and high end $2100. A cost many people may not be able afford leading to more disconnected anti-lock braking systems on the road.

When emergency braking, my vehicle's ABS system dips hard and pulls heavily to the front right of the vehicle, causing a harsh right side pull to the steering wheel. Has occurred at speeds between 60-65 MPH and 30-35 MPH, dry and wet roads, highway and surface streets. Tires were nearly new and properly inflated during one occurrence. Have reported to the dealership multiple times but refuse to investigate further as they are unable to "duplicate" the issue. Dealership claims vehicle is "too sophisticated" to do any further inspection.

The "slip" light flashed when coasting at about 7-10 MPH. The "slip" light is a function of the ABS system. This occurred as soon as I drove it off of the dealers lot, and it was my first time driving. This vehicle (internet order, so I didn't have a chance to drive this exact vehicle before I purchased the car). As the "slip" light flashes, I hear the grinding noise of what appears to be the ABS system engaging. I took it into the dealership and for 4 days, they could not figure out the problem. After the 4th day, they replaced the speed sensor in the right rear wheel. On the way home after picking up my car after 6 days in the shop, the "slip" light continued to flash at 7-10 MPH. I called the service department again and they said that they'll try replacing the ABS control unit. After waiting over a week, the dealer told me that the part was in. When I dropped off the, they told me that they had ordered the wrong part. Now, it's scheduled to be in the shop for 3 days. The dealer tells me that they are not sure that this will cure the problem. I cannot rely on the brake system of this car nor do I trust the service department of the infiniti dealership.
