NHTSA Complaint #10457639 — 2005 INFINITI G35

MY FIRST ISSUE:ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION I AM AN OWNER OF A 2005 INFINITI G35 5AT. I BOUGHT IT CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED AT 62,000 MILES 2 YEARS AGO. FROM LAST YEAR (WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AT 78000) MILES I STARTED TO HAVE SEVERE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS. ONE DAY I TOOK IT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THE MECHANIC NOTICED I ONLY HAD ONE QUART OF OIL LEFT. BY THE NEXT 1000 MILES (AFTER THE OIL CHANGE) THE OIL LIGHT KEPT COMING ON EVERY TIME I BRAKED. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED MY OIL AND IT WAS EXTREMELY LOW TO THE POINT I WAS SCARED OF DRIVING IT FURTHER SO I GOT IT TOWED TO THE INFINITI DEALER. AT THAT TIME I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO HELP ME. I STARTED LOOKING ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHER G35 OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HOW MANY WERE. RIGHT NOW I CARRY OIL WITH ME IN THE TRUNK KNOWING THAT IT IS GOING TO BE BURNING. I HOPE THERE WILL BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS AS IT SEEMS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. MY SECOND ISSUE: SUSPENSION AND TIRE WEAR. EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR I HAVE GONE TROUGH TOO MANY TIRES (LAST YEAR ALONE I WENT THROUGH 3 SETS). I AM NOT A CRAZY DRIVER AND ALWAYS CAREFUL ON THE WAY I DRIVE ESPECIALLY AFTER PURCHASING SO MANY TIRES. I HAVE BOUGHT AFTERMARKET SUSPENSION PARTS (TO ADJUST CAMBER AND TOE AS IT IS NOT ADJUSTABLE FROM THE FACTORY) TO TRY TO ALLEVIATE THE TIRE WEAR BUT IT HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING. I AM ON MY 5TH SET AS OF A MONTH AGO AND I GOT A CUSTOM ALIGNMENT DONE TO MAXIMIZE TIRE LIFE BUT THEY HAVE ALREADY DETECTED UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. *TR
