| 2005 | INTERIOR LIGHTING | I HAVE A 2005 INFINITI G35X. I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE APPROXIMATELY 50K MILES. FRIDAY NIGHT, ON MY WAY DRIVING FROM DC TO NY, THE AC GOT STUCK AT 90 DEGREES, AND IN AUTO MODE, THE BACKLIGHT FOR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT COMPLETELY DEAD, AND THE STEREO WENT OUT COMPLETELY. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE 3 DEVICES. SINCE I LIVE ON THE EAST COAST AND ALL THE DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA ARE CLOSED, I CALLED ONE IN RIVERSIDE, CA - RIVERSIDE INFINITI. THEY SAID THE STEREO IS DEAD AND THEY'VE SEEN THE PROBLEM "COUNTLESS TIMES" (QUOTE). I MADE A POSTING ON SEVERAL INFINITI FORUMS ON THE INTERNET REQUESTING ADVICE. THE CONSENSUS IS THE SAME - STEREO IS BAD. I FEEL THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND MY HVAC SHOULD NEVER BE CONNECTED TO THE STEREO AS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. ALSO, SINCE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, INFINITI SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL/TSB. *TR |
| 2004 | ENGINE | THE VQ35DE INFINITI G35 ENGINE CONSUMES OIL QUICKLY. ROUGHLY ABOUT 1QT/1000 MILES. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT USED IN 2009 WITH 35,000 MILES. OIL CHANGES WITH FILTER AND PLUG HAVE BEEN MADE HABITUALLY EVERY 3,000 MILES WITH MOBIL 1 SYNTHETIC 5W-30 OR 10W-30 DEPENDING ON THE SEASON. I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST OTHER VQ35DE USERS ON BOTH THE INFINITI G35 AND NISSAN 350Z. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY SOMEONE, BECAUSE INFINITI DOES NOT SEEM TO BE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT EITHER. *TR |
