Well...I have had my 2007 G35 Sport for all of 2 weeks now, and I have had to bring it in to the dealer two times already. I wanted to see if anyone else had the same problem or if anyone knew what exactly might be going wrong. so here is how the problem began. I was waiting in line at a gas station for a pump to become available when all of a sudden the Check Engine, Slip, and VDC lights came on. I turned off the car, filled up the tank, and when I restarted the car only the check engine light remained on. I made an appt. to bring the car in, and the night before I was to bring it in, while I was driving, the car felt like the engine just shut off. I realized that the engine was still "on", however it was just idling and when I stepped on the gas nothing happened...I was just coasting. I pulled over, shut down the car, and re-started and it drove, but the check engine light was still on. I went to the dealer and they told me that they needed to replace a sensor...on the paperwork it said they replaced the left throttle body. Fine, everything was working for about a week, and then when I went to go get gas again the exact same thing happened. Same gas station, same situation, same result. I'm wondering if there is something to do with the gas fumes or vehicle exhaust that is causing the problems? And if so, if this is going to happen everytime I go for gas, it's going to be a REAL problem!! Anyway, the car is at the dealer again, so hopefully they will find a different fix that works this time, but if anyone has any suggestions as to what it could be I'd greatly appreciate it. It's very unfortunate that this is happening, because I spent a TON of time and effort to get the deal I got and I really like the car.....when it's actually RUNNING!!! I hope that a resolution can be found soon because I don't want to become a G35 basher

Replying to: sprinkler13 (Jan 25, 2007 10:07 am) I'm having a problem with the auto trany in my 2006 Coupe. You said the engine was idling but you had no power; are you sure it was the throttle body and not a valve body they replaced? By the way, it seems unlikely it has anything to do with proximity to the gas station; that element of the event is probably just coincidence. Roll |

So, I've had my car for all of 3 weeks now, however it has been at the dealer for about half the time for repairs. I'm a huge fan of the car, but I'm a bit disturbed right now at the factory's inability to give an ETA on the arrival of the necessary part. After bringing the car to my original dealership for a check engine light, they determined that the throttle body needed to be replaced. They did that, however the exact same thing happened under the exact same driving contitions and the check engine light came on again. This time, I brought it to my local dealership since the original one where I bought the car is an hour away. This time, I was told that the ECM computer needs to be replaced as that was the cause of the original problem and also makes the car unsafe to drive (it could shut down while driving). The car has been at the dealer for a week now and they can't even get an ETA from the factory as to when the part will ship/arrive. I've already begun a complaint with Infiniti Consumer Affairs, but I'm wondering if there is anything else I should try? At this point, I'd love for them to just give me a new car, but since the availability of a Sport w/ Nav and tech was already nearly impossible to find in all of California, I think this will be a lost cause. What do you think is appropriate to ask for in compensation from Infiniti...some free maintenance services? Window tinting? Etc.? I'd love to hear your opinions. Thanks.

Replying to: sprinkler13 (Jan 31, 2007 4:11 pm) I understand how you feel but there is no agreement I am aware of that will compensate a customer for down time while the car is in for repairs. You are in a loaner? If so, I think that is about all you can expect. Roll Unless..... can you get the dealer to take one out of a car on the lot and replace it with the new one they ordered for you?

| Has anyone had a notable hesitation with their 2007 G35 six-speed when accelerating in 3rd, 4th or 5th gears at an RPM (2500-3500) that should produce NO delay when you step on the gas? | |
Car wouldn't "wake up" in the grocery store parking lot. I was sitting in the drivers seat with the "intelligen key" in my pocket. I tried to start the engine and nothing happened, the key warning light was lit. Owners manual gives very little advice. Got in, got out, locked the doors, unlocked the doors, nothing... After about a minute of nothing it just woke up. Anyone else have a similar experince? I'm afraid I'm going to be stranded somewhere without a manual start backup option.
