What owners say
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.

Additionally, the contact stated that there was a constant gasoline odor present inside and outside of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed.

The failure mileage was 98,515.
I own 3 Infiniti G35's (2006, 2006, & 2007) and all 3 had this same exact problem! The fuel gauge reads a level higher than the vehicle actually has causing the cars check engine light to come on and the car runs out of gas and stalls with no notice. One time it almost caused a crash! I have replaced 2 Clusters and am now being told 3rd Infiniti cluster needs to be replaced. Obviously this is a major issue and very costly to repair amongst 06 & 07 Infiniti G35's. Please look into this!!

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.
While driving 3 warning lights come on (vacation, no slip, and check engine) then I loose control of acceleration. I had the check engine code read and the code is p2138, which is the throttle control/ pedal position sensor
Been having problems lately with the engine light coming on and the slip and vdc light also
11/28/2019: the navigation system/center stack reset and immediately after all the dash lights lit up and the vehicle went into limp mode. The vehicle was blocks away from home and we were able to drive it back without issue. Took it to an infiniti dealer who said it was transmission related. Repairs were declined as this did not sound accurate and I wanted a second opinion. Transmission shop looked it over and found nothing wrong with the transmission. An independent shop also looked it over and could not find anything wrong. 7/1/2020: the center stack turned off and back on and car engine died. The vehicle was pulled over. Most warning lights were on and the air conditioning was on full blast and couldn't turn it off. Tried to turn the car off and it wouldn't turn off. The engine kept running. Drove the vehicle home and the speedometer was inop and all lights were on but car seemed to drive ok at that moment. Once home the car wouldn't turn off. You'd press the button and the dash lights would turn off but the engine would keep running. Eventually got it turned off. Then couldn't start it back up. Eventually got it started and only had first gear. Brought it back home, fought with turning it off and then back on. Finally got it running and it drove fine. Let the vehicle sit several days and drove it to an independent shop on 7/8/2020. On the way to the shop it drove fine but the check engine light was on. I feel there is some type of electrical issue going on with the vehicle. I can report back once the shop has more time to try and diagnose a problem, but a car randomly turning off is a major cause of concern.
My car has been stalling while driving at low speed. Several warning lights come up (check engine light, slip light, battery light) and then the engine shuts down completely. Upon placing the car in park, I am able to re-start it. This is a major safety issue. I believe my car is part of recall number 03v455000 - engine and engine cooling. However, my VIN is not part of the recall, but I am experiencing the same issues associated with this recall. This needs to be re-addressed. I have children, and I am worried that this issue can cause an accident, especially while I am driving on the freeway. I have seen various similar complaints related to this issue with infiniti.

Engine and engine cooling
- What is wrong
- On certain passenger vehicles, the circuit board for the crank position sensor or cam position sensor may have an improper solder joint due to solder deformation caused by heat stress accelerated by the existence of flux residue during the soldering process.
- Risk
- This could cause the "service engine soon" warning light to come on, create a no start condition, cause reduced engine power, or cause the engine to stop running without warning during vehicle operation, which could result in a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the crank position sensors. Camshaft position sensor(s), and in some cases, the variable timing control sensor(s). Vehicles involved in a previous recall campaign, 01v357, are also included in this new campaign. The replacement sensors used in that campaign are also affected. Owner notification began on december 22, 2003. Owners should contact nissan at 1‑800‑647‑7261 or infiniti at 1‑800‑662‑6200.
