• 10/20/2013· ENGINE

  OCTOBER 3RD 2013 I WAS COMING BACK FROM LUNCH DRIVING BACK TO WORK. WHILE I WAS ON THE ROAD DRIVING MY VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH CARS STILL BEHIND ME. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED THAT DAY AS I DID NOT EXPECT MY VEHICLE TO TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. I GOT THE VEHICLE TOWED ON OCTOBER 3RD 2013 TO R&S HERE IN CHARLOTTE NORTH CAROLINA. THE MECHANIC CALLED ME SATURDAY OCTOBER 5TH 2013 AND TOLD THAT MY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS WHAT WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE MECHANIC ALSO INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR MAKE MODEL AND YEAR HAS RECALLS ON CRANKSHAFT, CAMSHAFT AND TIMING VARIABLE. I ALSO CHECKED MYSELF AND THIS INFORMATION WAS TRUE. ONLINE RECALLS FOR YEAR WERE ENGINE AND COOLING AND AIRBAGS. I GOT MY CAR FROM CARMAX 2009 AND NEVER WAS INFORMED OF THE RECALLS SO THAT I COULD GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED. MY CAR HAD ONE OWNER BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM CARMAX. I CALLED THE INFINITI TOLL-FREE CONSUMER LINE AND THEY DID NOTHING BUT SAY ITS VEHICLE SPECIFIC AND THAT THEY SEEN NOTHING FOR MY VIN NUMBER. MY VIN SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN A RECALL AS I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUES FOR RECALLS THAT NEVER GOT FIXED ON MY 2003 INFINITI I35 AND MY CRANKSHAFT, CAMSHAFT AND TIMING VARIABLE CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO STALL AND TURN OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WANT THIS RESOLVED. *TR

• 10/11/2012· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKES

  I WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 30- 35MPH AND SUDDENTLY CAR SLOWED DOWN WITH BRAKE LIGHT ON. I TURNED THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND MOVED TO RIGHT MOST LANE. SWTICHED OFF THE CAR. SWITHED ON BACK. IT WORKED FINE. IT HAPPENED TWICE WITH ME. ONLY WORRY IS THAT WHILE TRAVELLING ON FREEWAY IF CAR SIDDENLY SLOWS DOWN, WHICH MAY BE EXTERMELY DANGEROUS. SO NEED ADVISE WHAT IS REQUIRED TO BE DONE. *TR

• 10/07/2014· ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC),ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  I BOUGHT A USED 2003 INFINITI I-35 ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND IT WAS RUNNING FINE UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK AGO WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. IT REALLY UPSET MY GIRLFRIEND BECAUSE WE COULD HAVE BEEN 'T-BONED' ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE AND SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WHEN I GOT THE CAR STARTED IT RAN FINE, LIKE NORMAL, EXCEPT THE 'SLIP', 'TCS', AND 'CHECK ENGINE SOON' LIGHTS ALL REMAINED ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN AND NOW I'M CONCERNED. I THINK THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN AT ANOTHER INTERSECTION AND WE WON'T BE SO LUCKY NEXT TIME. THE CAR HAS RESTARTED EVERYTIME, WITH THE SLIP, TCS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS STAYING ON AS BEFORE, EXCEPT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALWAYS STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. FROM THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ON-LINE BY SEVERAL OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, IT SEEMS CLEAR TO ME THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONTINUALLY OCCURRING IN ALL MODELS OF THE INFINITY LINE YEAR AFTER YEAR, AND THE NISSAN MOTOR COMPANY DOESN'T WANT TO ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT AND COULD HAVE CORRECTED BUT DIDN'T, SO THEY WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUITS. *TR

• 10/02/2018· AIR BAGS

  TAKATA RECALL--------MY BROTHER WHO LIVED IN NEW YORK CITY GAVE ME HIS 2003 INFINITI I 35 WHEN HE RETIRED FROM NY PD AND GAVE ME THE INFINITI. SO I DROVE THE CAR TO CALABASH NORTH CAROLINA WHICH IS 10 MINUTE DRIVE TO MYRTLE BEACH SOUTH CAROLINA. FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS OR SO NO PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAG HOWEVER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON? SO I CALLED MY BROTHER AND HE TOLD ME THE CAR ALREADY HAD THE AIRBAG REPLACE PER THE RECALL. SO I CALLED INFINITI TO SEE IF THEY COULD HELP ME, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BUT THEY SAID I COULD GO TO A NISSAN OR INFINITI SERVICE. I GO AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME IT WAS $125 FOR DIAGNOSTIC TEST. CALLED INFINITI BACK AND AGAIN I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND OWNED LOTS OF CARS NEVER ONCE DID I EVER HAVE A PROBLEM WITH AN AIRBAG! I HAVE OWNED FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC CARS AND AGAIN NO AIRBAG PROBLEMS. WHAT ARE THE MATHEMATICAL PROBABILITY OF MY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SYSTEM FROM ONLY A INFINITI I35 2003 BEING THE ONLY AIRBAG PROBLEM WITH ANY AUTOMOBILE THAT I HAVE OWNED IN THE LAST 40 + YEARS? THE MATH DOES NOT WORK THEY HAVE A PROBLEM BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO ADDRESS IT. IT'S THE MANUFACTURERS FAULT NOT MINE, WHAT DO THEY WANT ME TO DO REPLACE THE AIRBAG AGAIN? MY GUT FEELING TELLS ME THAT THEY DIDN'T REMEDY THE PROBLEM OR THE HEAT FROM LIVING IN THE CAROLINAS IS ADVERSELY AFFECTING MY AIRBAG. PLEASE IF YOU WOULD SAVE MY EMAIL JUST IN CASE I GET HURT OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THERE SUBSTANDARD AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT INFINITI STATED THAT THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF A PRE-EXISTING SUBSTANDARD AIRBAG PLACED IN 2003 I35.

• 09/19/2013· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  WE WERE DRIVING LOCALLY AT NORMAL SPEED AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AS THOUGH WE RAN OUT OF GAS. WE WERE ABLE TO SLIDE SOMEWHAT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A WHILE, THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST SOME KIND OF FLUKE. WE ARE SENIOR CITIZENS AND DO NOT DRIVE A GREAT DEAL HOWEVER WE THOUGHT ALL WAS WELL AND IN AUGUST WE ROAD ON THE HIGHWAY 95 TO CONNECTICUT AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AFTER WE ARRIVED AND WERE PULLING INTO A LOCAL MALL, ONCE AGAIN WE HAD TO BE TOWED. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO US ON 95 WE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. ABOUT A WEEK AGO MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEED IN THIS AREA LOCALLY AND THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED, AT NIGHT AND THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND AND A TOW TRUCK HAD TO BE CALLED AND THE CAR TOWED TO A SERVICE STATION. THE NEXT DAY WE SPOKE TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID HE DROVE THE CAR ALL OVER AND DID TESTING AND FOUND NOTHING. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER. MY DAUGHTER OFTEN HAS HER BABY IN THE CAR AND SO EVEN MORE DANGER IS INVOLVED. I CONTACTED INFINITY AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL BUT WE SAW MANY COMPLAINTS BY OWNERS ON THE WEB SEARCH, INFINITY 35 2003, WITH THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINT.

• 08/29/2005· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULICCrash

  THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL ARE CLOSE TOGETHER. WITH MY SIZE 12 FOOT, IT IS EASY TO ACCIDENTALLY HAVE MY SHOE ON BOTH PEDALS. THE CAR HAS ENOUGH ENGINE POWER TO OVERCOME THE BRAKING SYSTEM, AND LEAD TO A COLLISION. WITH THE ABS AND TCS (TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM) ON THIS CAR, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AN INTERACTION TO LIMIT POWER IF THE ABS IS ACTIVATED. MY REAR TIRES WERE TRYING TO STOP THE CAR (ALMOST DRAGGING) AND WITH THE CAR UNDER POWER (BOTH PEDALS DEPRESSED) THE ABS WAS ACTIVATED BUT I WAS STILL ACCELERATING FORWARD. IF THE TCS WAS LIMITING THE POWER, I WOULD HAVE HAD ENOUGH TIME TO STOP OR HAD ENOUGH TIME TO REMOVE MY RIGHT FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND REPOSITION MY FOOT CORRECTLY AND FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. *JB

• 07/27/2017· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  I BOUGHT A 2003 INFINIT I35 A YEAR AGO AS MY FIRST CAR. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE DYING FOR WHAT SEEMS TO BE NO REASON. NO WARNING LIGHTS WOULD COME ON NOT EVEN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED A WEEK AGO. WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT DIED A TOTAL OF FOUR TIMES. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT BACK UP IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. IT WOULD NOT TAKE A JUMP. NO FLUIDS WERE LOW. NO CABLES OR TERMINALS WERE LOOSE. I ENDED UP HAVING TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED. AT THE TIME IT HAD 216,000 MILES ROUGHLY. WHEN I DID RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH INFINITI MODELS 2003-2004 THAT HAD FAULTY CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS. THE SAME SYMPTOMS THAT I HAD WERE MATCHING UP TO THE THOSE OF THE RECALL. IT WAS HAPPENING TO THOSE MODELS HAVING 113,000-225,000 ROUGHLY. WHEN I SEARCHED WITH THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND INFINIT I FOUND THAT THIS WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN NUMBER. I THEN TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND FOUND THAT IN FACT THOSE SAME SENSORS WERE FAULTY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO FUNCTION INCORRECTLY. SO NOW I HAVE TO WONDER WHY THEN MY 2003 INFINIT I35 WAS NOT RECOGNIZED AS BEING AFFECTED BY MY RECALL WHEN I NOW HAVE PROOF THAT THE SAME SENSORS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL ARE IN FACT FAULTY.

THEY INDICATED THEY FIXED ONE OF THE SENSOR & THERE WAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES. IT DROVE FOR ABOUT A YEAR, NOW IT IS CONTINUOUSLY DOING THE SAME THING, SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON & SLIP/ TCS. THE VEHICLE HAVE ENDANGERED MY LIFE ABOUT 5 DIFFERENT TIME FOR THE SAME REASON WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR. I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING THRU THE SAME THING. THE DEALER DID NOT NOTIFY ME OF THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I HAD TO FIND IT OUT WHEN TRYING TO TRADE MY VEHICLE.

THIS CONTINOUSLY HAPPENT TO MY VEHICLE WHERE MY CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON , I HAVE NO POWER & THE VEHICLE STOPS RUNNING WITH NO WARNING DURING OPERATION WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE NO IDEAL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING LEAVING NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE. I CALLED IN REFERENCE TO A CURRENT RECALL ISSUE & ALSO ADVISED OF THIS & WAS TOLD BY REPRESENTATIVE THAT THIS HAS EXPIRED & ITS IS TOO LATE. "WHAT" MY LIFE IS IN DANGER JUST DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. WHAT CAN BE DONE CONCERNING THIS MATTER?

  MY DAUGHTER WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THE CAR STALLED AND HAD TO BE PUSHED FROM THE INTERSECTION. IT STARTED SEVERAL MINUTES LATER. THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR TO THIS WHEN THE CAR HAS COME TO A STOP AND SOMETIMES WHEN IN MOTION. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE INFORMED ME OF AN INFINITY RECALL. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I CALLED INFINITY HQ AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING. IT'S AMAZING THAT I HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM SO MAY CARS WERE RECALLED FOR BUT THEY INSIST MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I NOW SEE MANY OTHER I35 OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I DO. I WILL HAVE TO HAVE MY MECHANIC FIX IT SINCE INFINITY IS TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY! *TR

  FOR THE LAST YEAR THE ENGINE OF MY 2003 INFINITI I35 HAS BEEN MAKING A NOISE UPON ACCELERATION (WHILE THE ENGINE IS UNDER STRESS) ESPECIALLY ON INCLINES. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO PEPE INFINITI, THEY'VE DUPLICATED THE NOISE, YET THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. I HAVE CONTACTED THE INFINITI CORPORATE OFFICE TO NO AVAIL. I AM FILING A COMPLAINT TO HOPEFULLY GET SOME RESOLUTION REGARDING THIS MATTER. *JB

  Camshaft sensor according to the Infiniti dealership (Ray Brandt on Causeway in Metairie La.) Is malfunctioning at makes the car engine die while driving. Then when you restart the car the engine revs fine in neutral but once in drive it won't go over 5 mph. Also the timing chain tensioner fails on this car and can cause severe engine damage while the car is being driven. I've looked up both of these problems and have spoken with Nissan and Infiniti and a simple internet search will also confirm that these 2 problems are extremely common on this 5th generation engine. Nissan even lost 2 class action lawsuits on the timing tensioner. Well if Nissan lost 2 court battles over an engine defect that every Nissan internet forum says is a very very common problem then why isn't there a recall. And shouldn't hazing headlights be a safety issue on ALL cars? Almost all cars have this problem and manufacturers keep building cars with UNSAFE headlights. Why aren't these recalls? Thank you for this website. As an American Citizen and consumer with a daughter these safety concerns are very troubling to me and all my friends and business associates.
