Problems with 2003 Infiniti G35 ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

As i was accelerating to access highway, i was not able to accelerate my vehicle. it was as if i was running out of gas. i kept pressing the gas pedal and it slowly started to accelerate and seemed fine. a few minutes later when i was sitting at a red light, the car died. i put it in park and restarted and it was fine. a few days later the same thing happened as i was in the carpool line at my daughter's school. car was running, while i waited and it suddenly shut down. when i restarted, the check engine light was illuminated and remained on. i checked my manual and thought it could be the gas cap wasn't on tight enough or bad gas. filled up my tank and a few hours later check engine light went out. today the car died as i was pulling into my driveway, however immediately restarted. researched recall information and contacted infiniti and was told my vehicle was not part of nhtsa campaign number 03v455000. *tr

Pulled into a parking lot when the engine stopped running all of a sudden. the power steering also went out. everything else including the electrical seemed to still work. service engine soon, "slip" and "vdc off" lights displayed on the dashboard immediately. this seems to be related to nhtsa campaign id # 03v455000. i called the manufacturer who informed me my vin was not within the range of this recall. searching online reveals other owners whose vins are not within the range also have had this issue. it seems to me this recall should be re-investigated and reevaluated as this is a serious danger to the public (imagine this happening on a freeway which has happened to other owners). *tr

Engine became inoperable while driving causing a major safety issue. several warning lights came on simultaneously (check engine light, slip light, vdc light) at the time. car was able to be restarted with some trouble. problem repeated itself (stalling, loss of power, starting difficulty) over next couple days, although warning lights never went off. independent mechanic identified problem as cam position sensor failures & advised there was a nhtsa safety recall (nhtsa campaign id 03v455000) for the problem with 2003 g35s, but that my vin was outside the campaign recall vins. he suggested i contacted infiniti. i contacted both dealer and infiniti national customer service who acknowledged there was a cam position sensor problem with 2003 g35s, but because my vin was not in the campaign they refused to do anything to address the safety issue. i had the dealer replace the cam position sensors at my expense (about $1500). there are a number of similar complaints filed with the nhtsa about this problem with no apparent resolution with infiniti. the recall campaign 03v455000 needs to be extended to cover all problem vehicles. *tr

I own a 6-speed manual transmission and the car is consuming a tremendous amount of engine oil. i am pouring two quarts of oil in it every 3 - 4 days. at this point, the oil is leaking into the combustion chamber producing white fumes out the tailpipe. i reached out to infiniti?s consumer affairs department with the issue and they advised me to take the car in to an authorized infiniti service center for evaluation. i then took the car to an infiniti service center and told the service rep my car complaint. his immediate response was that the manual transmissions do consume a lot of oil. after the car's evaluation, the service rep told me that the entire engine block would need to be replaced because of damaged or worn piston rings. i asked the service rep what could cause a sophisticated, expensive machine to require a motor replacement after only 126k miles. the service rep replied that it could be due to infrequent oil changes and/or driving the car for long periods without oil both of which do not apply to me. i then reached out to the infiniti consumer affairs department for some resolution to what ...

I've recently been having issue with the engine where the car stalls. the car start fine when i do a cold start but when the car warms up the car stalls at times. i've been hearing a lot of the stories from other people on different forums where this is a common issue for this model. the culprit are either the throttle body which i had already replace three years back, the 2 cam position sensors and crank position sensor. i recently found out that there is a recall on the cam position sensors and crank position sensor. i'm hoping that my vin# is part of that recall. the second issue i have been having with this car is the radio and temperature control. that i recently had changed with the factory radio attached to the temperature control. the radio would stop working. i have no control over the temperature control and the ac unit would turn on by it self. i recently just installed an after market radio. with everything after buying what was required to do a double din conversion and installation. it cost me a good amount of money. ...
