2006 INFINITI G35 Power Train Problems

CLUTCH PEDAL STICKS AND MAKES NOISE ALL THE TIME. DEALERSHIP REPLACED SLAVE CYLINDER AT 72,000 MILES, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED AT 92,000 MILES.

WHILE DRIVING, IN TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. CARS BEHIND ME WERE AT A SAFE ENOUGH DISTANCE THAT I COULD PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS, ALSO, HAPPENS WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR A.M. OR P.M. (WITH THE VEHICLE BEING PARKED): IT FAILS TO START. THE "VDC" AND "SLIP" LIGHT COMES ON. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. *TR
