We have classified the 3 complaints from 2008 Infiniti G35 about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING into the following categories.
Car was jerking while driving. i went to the dealer, was told that a radiator leaked to the transmission, and ruined it. dealer flashed transmission, but later i had "check engine" warning. i went back, dealer told me that this is because of a bad transmission. this is not safe to drive a car in this condition. i still have a power train warranty, but nissan refuses to repair transmission, because, they say, transmission problem was a secondary one, and the primary was a radiator. nissan twice refused to repair under warranty. *tr
I recently purchased this car from a nissan dealership and it happened on the first and second day owning it. the first day happened when i pulled into the gas station taxing to the gas pump and all the sudden, the steering wheel started to get harden. i looked at the rpm gauge and it was down to zero while i was in "d" mode. so shifted to park and restart the engine, then it works again. the second incident happened when i was at a stop sign turning right. immediately after releasing the brake pedal, i turned the steering wheel and the engine stalled; therefore, the steering wheel was harden. then i shift back to park and restart again. i'm not sure if this is common to any g35x but this is a safety issue. i do not want to image myself going into a round-about and the car stalls while other car coming toward me. please look into this. *tr
New vehicle driven only 4k miles when noises started emanating from the engine compartment anytime rpms exceeded 4000. dealer diagnosed problem as a burned out transmission requiring replacement. had the transmission seized up while driving, it could have led to a very dangerous situation. *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2008 infiniti g35 sedan. the contact stated that when he depresses the accelerator pedal, there is a brief hesitation and then the vehicle accelerates rapidly. he took the vehicle to the dealer from where it was purchased and had them inspect it; however, they were unable to identify the cause of the failure. the failure occurs intermittently only after the vehicle comes to a complete stop and proceeds to move forward. the failure was noticed ever since the vehicle was purchased and the dealer has been unable to duplicate or remedy the failure. the failure mileage was 200 and current mileage was 5,000. updated 09/15/08 *bf updated 09/18/08. *jb
