2006 INFINITI G35 Owner Complaints

The fuel gauge in my Infiniti G35x is malfunctioning and does not show the correct fuel levels. As a result, my vehicle has unexpectedly run out of fuel multiple times, causing it to stop on the side of the road. This poses a significant safety risk as it can lead to sudden and dangerous situations for both myself and other drivers. Stopping on the side of the road in such conditions can also result in potential traffic violations. This issue needs to be addressed to ensure safer driving.

Fuel gauge in instrument cluster malfunctioned, inaccurately reading more than half full. This caused me to run out of gas on a public road. In addition to the risk of becoming a stationary road hazard, I lost power brakes and steering when the gas ran out which caused me to almost hit the car in front of me. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealship or service center, however I had the sending units replaced which a mechanic said would fix the issue and it didn't. The gauge is still inaccurate. I have not had the cluster inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representative. I have researched the issue myself and learned that the cluster is commonly defective, I also have an intermittent left turn signal. There was a check engine light (P0462) intermittently on, which was temporarily fixed by replacing the sending units but has since come back. I don't know when they first appeared.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 50 MY WAY TO WORK THE FOLLOWING DASH LIGHTS CAME ON VDC OFF, ABS, SLIP. AFTER PULLING OVER TO EXAMINE WHAT WAS WRONG I DISCOVERED I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS & THE 10 AMP BRAKE FUSE HAD BLOWN. I THEN GOT BACK IN MY CAR TO DRIVE TO A PARTS STORE & THE SHIFT LOCK WOULDN'T DISENGAGE. SO I MANUALLY ENGAGED THE SHIFT LOCK & DROVE TO THE PARTS STORE & REPLACED THE FUSE BUT THE DASH LIGHTS WERE STILL ON SO I BEGAN TO DRIVE HOME & THE BRAKES BECAME TIGHTER & WOULDN'T RELEASE & THEY EVENTUALLY WERE COMPLETELY LOCKED WITH ALL 4 SO HOT THEY WERE SMOKING SO I PARKED IT. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO DRIVE TO A MECHANIC & THE BRAKES HAD RELEASED BUT THE MORE I DROVE THEY STARTED ENGAGING ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT RELEASING & BECAME HOT AGAIN SO I PARKED IT AGAIN. BASICALLY AFTER IT SETS THE BRAKES RELEASE BUT AFTER DRIVING FOR A SHORT DISTANCE 2-5 MILES THEY BEGIN TO ENGAGE & NOT RELEASE CAUSING THEM TO OVERHEAT. I'VE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR SOLUTIONS & IT APPEARS NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM & SOME HAVE HAD A SHORT IN A BRAKE WIRE HARNESS & OTHERS HAVE REPLACED SPEED SENSORS OR ABS PUMPS BUT THEY CAN'T TELL WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM SINCE IT'S INTERMITTENT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY WITH A TRACTOR TRAILOR BEHIND ME & MY BRAKES BEGAN ENGAGING ON THEIR OWN & I WAS TERRIFIED OF BEING REAR ENDED & POSSIBLY KILLED. NOW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN OR HOW TO FIX IT. *TR

INFINITY G35 SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING VCD LIGHT COMES ON SLIP LIGHT COMES ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THE G35 DIES, LOW POWER, OR SPUTTERS AT LOW OR SLOWING ENGINE SPEED E.G. WHEN SLOWING FOR TRAFFIC SIGNALS, OR TURNING (USUALLY ACROSS A LANE OF TRAFFIC!). I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN ON THE INTERSTATE IT WAS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A SHARP RELEASE OF THE ACCELERATOR, AS WHEN PUNCHING IT TO PASS THEN RELEASE, OR REACHING SPEED LIMIT, AND RELEASE, FROM ACCELERATION LANE. ONCE RIGHT AFTER ENTERING THE FREEWAY, I WAS SETTING MY CRUISE CONTROL WHEN IT SPUTTERED AND I WAS AFRAID IT WAS GOING TO DIE BUT IT FINALLY KICKED IN WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. I DON'T KNOW THE ECM CODE BUT IT INDICATED: CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I WONDER IF THERE ARE ANY OTHERS WITH THIS CODE OR PROBLEM? LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, MINE IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY OF THE RECALLS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER SHOP SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE COMPLAINT OF STRONG GAS SMELL PRIOR TO THIS CODE/ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THIS IS CONNECTED TO THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR OR NOT, BUT THE SMELL OF GAS INSIDE THE CABIN IS VERY STRONG WHILE DRIVING AT TIME. THE GAS FUMES CAN BE SMELLED OUT SIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN NOT IN MOTION EITHER AFTER JUST STARTING OR PARKING THE VEHICLE.
