2006 INFINITI G35 Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

2006 INFINITI G35 COUPE SUFFERING FROM EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. CAR WAS PURCHASED USED FROM INFINITI OF OAKLAND IN DECEMBER 2007 WITH 15K MILES. CAR BURNED 2.5 QUARTS BETWEEN 15K AND 20K MILES. IT IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WITH INFINITI PER SERVICE BULLETIN ITB08-002C. *TR

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. ONE TO ONE AND ONE HALF QUART OF OIL IS USED EVERY 700 TO 900 MILES. SOME INTERVALS ARE SHORTER AT 500 TO 700 MILES PER ONE QUART OF OIL USED AND SOME ARE LONGER, 700 TO 1,000 ONE AND ONE HALF QUART WILL BE NEEDED. OIL LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON AS I HAVE CHECKED THE OIL EVERY 500 MILES SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT 15,800 MILES. *TR

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION NOTED AT 6,000 MILES. CONTINUED WITH 1,000 MILE INTERVAL TEST FOR OIL CONSUMPTION AND FOUND 1QT LOW AT 7,000 MILES, 1.5 QTS LOW AT 8,000 MILES, AND 1 QT AT 9000 MILES. INFINITI SAID THEY ORDERED ME A NEW ENGINE. THIS WAS A 2.5 MONTHS AGO AND I'M AT 12,500 MILES. I'VE HAD TO TOP OFF MY ENGINE WITH A 2 QUARTS OF OIL AND MY OWN SERVICE DEPARTMENT DOES NOT CALL ME BACK. *TR

ENGINE NEW USED 1 QT OF OIL EVERY 1200 MILES. OIL CONSUMPTION SOMEWHAT BETTER WITH MORE MILES, BUT STILL 1 QT/2500 MILE PRESENTLY WITH 21,000 MILES ON ENGINE. DEALER SAID IT WAS MY DRIVING HABITS AND NISSAN/INFINITI WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNLESS IT CONSUMES MORE THAN 1QT/1000 MILE. I FOLLOWED FACTORY ENGINE BREAK-IN GUIDELINES, I DO NOT RACE MY VEHICLE AND DEALER HAS DONE ALL FACTORY SCHEDULED OIL SERVICES. NISSAN/INFINITI APPARENTLY IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND APPARENTLY HAVE A REVISED ENGINE FOR WARRANTY REPLACEMENT, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING, ONLY IF YOU CONSUME WORSE THAN 1QT/1000 MILES. MY PRESENT OIL CONSUMPTION OF 1QT/2500MILES IN MY OPINION, IS UNACCEPTABLE IN TODAY'S STANDARDS AND FEEL I SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO THIS NEW REVISED ENGINE FOR WARRANTY REPLACEMENT AS WELL. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 INFINITI G35 SEDAN. THE CONTACT HEARD A TICKING SOUND WHILE ACCELERATING. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AT 3,300 MILES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR. AT 6,400 MILES, THE TICKING NOISE RETURNED AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND OIL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AS CONSUMING A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS PUT THROUGH AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND FAILED TWICE. AT 7,500 MILES, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TURNING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ONCE MORE. THE DEALER HAS DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AS NEEDING A NEW ENGINE AND WOULD LIKE TO INSTALL A TEST ENGINE DESIGNED FOR THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. THE ENGINE SIZE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 8,600 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,800. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SHIFTS VERY ROUGH. UPDATED 07/06/07. *JB

ENGINE CONSUMES 2.5 QRTS OIL EVERY 800 MILES & ONLY 19-20 MILES PER GAL GAS AND THIS DECREASES WITH OIL CONSUMPTION. CLUTCH ASSY FAULTY/ GRINDING NOISE INCREASED WITH MILEAGE ,WINDOWS HAVE BINDING NOISE UP/DOWN, PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN SEAT IS OCCUPIED OR UNOCCUPIED. *NM
