2006 INFINITI G35 Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

NOT SURE THIS IS SOMETHING YOU WOULD PURSUE BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET SATISFACTION FROM LAKE NORMAN INFINITI LOCALLY OR THEIR NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE SUPPORT DESK. I HAVE A 2006 INFINITI COUPE WITH 24K MILES ON IT. I HAD AN ISSUE WITH WHAT WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE COOLING FANS FOR THAT CAR. I WAS TOLD BY THE PARTS MANAGER(JOHN) AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT CAR HAS KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE COOLING FANS. THE SERVICE MANAGER (VICTOR) SENT ME TO THE NATIONAL TEAM. THE CAR WENT INTO SERVICE ON 08/05/06. THE PART FAILED ON OR ABOUT 08/15/14. I AM BEING TOLD BY THE NATIONAL TEAM THAT THE PART HAD A 8 YR ' HARD' WARRANTY ON IT. THERE HAVE SINCE BEEN DENIALS ABOUT THE PART BEING DEFECTIVE SINCE MY INITIAL CONTACT WITH LAKE NORMAN DEALERSHIP. I WAS THERE IN MARCH OF 2014 FOR SERVICE AND WAS NEVER COMMUNICATED...

UNUSUAL HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION NOTICED AROUND 25,000 MILES. I AM 61 YEARS OLD AND DO NOT DRIVE MUCH OR ABUSE THE ENGINE, I JUST WANTED A RELIABLE CAR WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. #1 DEALER (VERY HOSTILE) TESTED OIL AFTER 1000 MILES SHOWING ONLY 4MM MISSING, HOWEVER THE SAME MORNING I HAVE DOCUMENTED PICTURES SHOWING 9 TO 10MM OF OIL MISSING ON THE DIP STICK. CONCLUSION: DEALER ADDED OIL PRIOR OF CALLING ME IN TO SEE THEIR OIL CHECK! ASKED INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO REDO TEST AT SECOND DEALER. #2 DEALER WAS MUCH NICER TO MY COMPLAINT, BUT WHEN I RECEIVED THE CAR AFTER THE FREE OIL FILL, THE DIP STICK WAS SEALED WITH A PLASTIC TIE! THEIR ANSWER WAS: "YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL UNTIL YOU COME BACK AFTER 2000 MILES" !!!. AFTER 2000 MILES OF DRIVING THEY OPENED THE SEAL ON THE DIP STICK WHICH SHOWED...

MY 2006 INFINITI G35 CONSUMES OIL THAT NISSAN IS AWARE ABOUT. THE CAR DOESN'T BURN OIL OR LEAK OIL, BUT CONSUMES AROUND 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1800 MILES. THE MANUFACTURE RECOMMENDS AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 3,750 MILES. I CHANGE MY OIL AT 3000 MILES AND EVERYTIME I CHANGE MY OIL MY CAR IS ALWAYS 3 QUARTS LOW. MY CAR STARTS TO MAKE NOISES AT START UP AND MY LOW OIL LIGHT COMES ON

I HAVE A 2006 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR. I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NOISE COMING FROM THE CARS BELT DURING COLD START. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS THE BELTS. I GOT THEM CHANGED. ITS IS STILL MAKING NOISE. I HAVE BEEN ON OTHER FORUM SITES AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. FOR SOME PEOPLE THE NOISE LASTS A FEW SECONDS FOR OTHER COUPLE OF MINUTES. I HAVE ALWAYS CALLED INFINITI AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOT ONLY THE 2006 THAT HAVE THEM, ITS IS THE 2003,2004,2005 AND 2006 FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD. *TR

IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY AN INFINITI DEALER THAT MY 2006 INFINITI G35 COUPE HAS FALLEN INTO A "NOT GOOD" CATEGORY FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. *TR

I HAVE AN 06 INFINITI G35 COUPE, AND EVERSINCE I PURCHASED IT ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, ENGINE HAS A PINGING/KNOCKING PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS RUNNING LEAN. THERE IS NO MODIFICATION DONE TO THE ENGINE WHATSOEVER. *TR

MY 2006 INFINITI G35 CONSUMES OIL THAT NISSAN IS AWARE ABOUT. THE CAR DOESN'T BURN OIL OR LEAK OIL, BUT CONSUMES AROUND 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1800 MILES. THE MANUFACTURE RECOMMENDS AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 3,750 MILES. I CHANGE MY OIL AT 3000 MILES AND EVERYTIME I CHANGE MY OIL MY CAR IS ALWAYS 3 QUARTS LOW. MY CAR STARTS TO MAKE NOISES AT START UP AND MY LOW OIL LIGHT COMES ON. I'M TIRED OF THIS ISSUE AND NISSAN/INFINITI IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ITS COSTING ME WAY TO MUCH MONEY AND I WANT SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT. *TR

AT ~7,900MI, I TOOK MY G35 COUPE 6MT TO INFINITI DEALERSHIP WHEN I STARTED HEARING A KNOCKING NOISE AND NOTICED THAT THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WOULD COME UP EVERY FEW TIMES A WEEK. I WAS CALLED IN 4 MORE TIMES AFTER THAT (EVERY 1,000MI) SPECIFICALLY FOR OIL-LEVEL TESTING. THE DEALERSHIP RECEIVED AN APPROVAL TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, AND AT 14,500MI, AFTER JUST ABOUT 6 MONTHS, I DROVE OUT WITH A NEW ONE (10102-AC7M9). I WAS TOLD TO GO EASY FOR THE INITIAL 12-15K. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 1000MI NOW, I AM RUNNING LOW ON OIL. I JUST CHECKED IT MYSELF. I PLAN ON TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SOON TO RECORD IT FORMALLY. BUT THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM I AM HAVING, THE NEW ENGINE SEEMS TO BE A LOT LOUDER AND A BIT SLUGGISH TOO.. YES.. DEFINITELY NOT THE RIDE I GOT USED TOO!! *TR

THE ENGINE IS CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL. *TR

WHEN MY LEASED 06' G35 COUPE HIT AROUND 6,000 MILES IT STARTED MAKING A RATTLING SOUND FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED ON THEY ADVISED ME THAT MY ENGINE WAS CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL & THAT THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE BUT THAN AT AROUND 7,000 MILES THE SAME NOISE CAME BACK. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS AND EVERYTIME I GO BACK THE CAR IS 2-3 QRTS OIL LOW. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE ENGINE THAT THEY REPLACED MY OLD ENGINE WITH HAS THE SAME ISSUE & IT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN UNLESS I AM GIVEN A NEW MANUFACTURED ENGINE - WHICH SEEMS TO BE UNAVAILABLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY & I WANT THEM TO TAKE BACK THE VEHICLE OR PROVIDE ME...

I WANT TO REPORT THAT NISSAN/INFINITI HAS A MAJOR DEFECT WITH THE ENGINES BEING USED IN THE INFINITI G35 AND NISSAN 350Z CARS. THE DEFECTS ARE CAUSING ENGINES TO BLOW DUE TO LOW OIL CAPACITY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY THREAT TO THE OWNERS OF THE CARS AND TO OTHER MOTORISTS ON THE ROAD. I WANT INFINITI TO TAKE BACK MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY THREAT TO ME, MY WIFE, MY 3 YEAR OLD CHILD AND OTHER MOTORISTS AROUND ME. INFINITI HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO WORK WITH ME IN THIS CAPACITY. THE EVIDENCE AGAINST INFINITI IS STAGGERING AS CAN BE SEEN ON THE DISCUSSION THREADS THAT I HAVE POSTED BELOW.
