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!

Burns oil at 5 quarts a week or more. Piston rings are defective. Common for this car I've read and there was a recall that infiniti issued but this has not included my vehicle. Suspension also wears down brand new tires in less than 3 months. My boyfriend has the exact same car and this is a problem with his vehicle also.

I bought a 2005 infiniti g35 last year and did not know about the oil consumption defect that the g35 has. I recently developed a knocking sound in the engine and when I checked the oil I noticed the engine was low on oil. I filled the car up with the 2 quarts of oil that was missing. I checked the engine, engine bay and also under the car to see if there was an oil leak present but there wasn't any. A friend of mine told me about the oil consumption that the car is known to have and to my surprise my car was consuming a quart of oil ever 500 miles

I own a 2005 g35 coupe and started noticing that the motor is burning a lot of oil. I researched online and found out that my year of car has problems with oil consumption. So I called my local infinity and they said that they can perform the test but if I want to fix it, ill have to pay out of my pocket. Is that right? Are they suppose to fix it? Is it repaired under warranty or recall?

The car burned nearly 4.2. Qts of oil in under 4000 miles. Massive number of users indicate same problem of insane amounts of oil consumption on various forums on the internet. This is most likely also a serious smog violation in ca and also is causing engines to blow up. Numerous mechanics will verify that they have seen the same problem with engines blowing at under 100,00 miles do to excess oil consumption. I have proof of my last oil change and number of miles. Also the amount of oil that came out of my car was less than a quarter of quart after only 4,000 miles of driving. My mechanic verified that there are no leaks. Please the federal safety agency! Please investigate this issue further. 20,0000 dollar car is basically totaled now. All dealers and nissan refuses to acknowledge the problem even though there is a high possibility they know of the problem and are hiding it. Also, the airbag light has been on for three years and no matter how you reset it, it will continually return to being on, indicating some sort of problem with the airbags.

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.

My infinity g35 2005 m/t has a manufacturers defect of oil consumption and is very common to the engine for this model the vq35 it only has 63,000 miles on it and it consumes 1.5 quarts of oil every 1,000 miles. The car starts knocking with no oil in it by 2,000 after an oil change. I change the oil and only 1 quart comes out when it's supposed to have 5quarts! This is also causing my check engine light to turn on with codes that the oxygen sensors and three way catalyst are bad. It squeals when turning it on and knocks while driving.
